A supply shack burning
I freed a Nord named Svanhildr from the Orcs in Malak's Maw. Now she has a plan to deal with the Orcs.
I encountered a Dunmer lurking in a cave near Malak's Maw. He informed me that a Nord woman named Svanhildr was captured by Orcs. I offered to rescue her in his stead.


Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Talk to Svanhildr.
  2. Collect Treated Kindlepitch
  3. Burn the supply shacks.
  4. Talk to Svanhildr near the gate.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

After freeing Svanhildr from her bonds, she tells you that she's angry at herself for getting caught by the Orcs, and wants to get back at them. She wants you to collect kindlepitch off of the bodies of some nearby Orcs while she scouts the place out. Kill some Orcs and collect three units of kindlepitch. This is a relatively easy task, as you should only have to kill three enemies to finish this. Once you've collected the kindlepitch, meet her at the big gate further into the stronghold. Follow the path around until you get there, and speak with Svanhildr to receive your gold for this favor.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
