Priestess Hodyette

Priestess Hodyette is a Nord priestess of Kyne who is said to be able to predict the weather with astounding accuracy. Such a gift made her popular, so she retreated to a hermit's life in the mountains of Eastmarch. Jee-Lar sends you to seek a prediction from her on behalf of Cyrodilic Collections for their expedition to Murkmire.

"If you're looking for a friendly chat, best be on your way. I didn't set up camp on top of a mountain for the company."

How about for gold? Cyrodilic Collections would pay handsomely for your predictions.

"They'll pay, will they? Well, that's a mammoth of a different color. Still, I'm not about to go making such a business transaction without Kyne's say so.
I just hope you have a hearty set of lungs on you. I could use the gold."

...Lungs?

"Kyne's the Goddess of the Storm, after all. From the wind of your lungs, invoke her power to view the winds of the world.
Take this rune and travel northeast. Find some nice vistas, give a hearty shout, and the rune will do the rest."

All right. I'll go to these locations and give a shout.

"You'll find some lovely vistas just east of Windhelm. That's where I generally go when I want to get Kyne's attention.
Now, be off with you. Don't want to keep the great goddess waiting, do we?"

I wanted to ask you a few questions first.

"I suppose you do, don't you? Well, I suppose I can't deny a potential customer their curiosity. What do you want to know?"

How did you gain the power to predict storms?/Fair enough, how did you come upon your powerm anyway?

"I've always had this power, truth be told. Ever since I could remember, I saw patterns in the wind. Shifting movements.
Eventually, I realized that my power stemmed from Kyne's wisdom. That's when I vowed to serve the goddess."

Then why not live in a temple?

"Once someone knows you can predict the weather, that's all they ever ask about. "Will it be windy out? Should I wear a jacket? Should I travel tomorrow, or the next day?"
I grew sick of it. Out here, I can worship the goddess in peace."

Why are you sending me off to scream?/And why are you sending me off to scream?

"Kyne needs to be called upon if she's to give her blessing. A hearty shout is usually good enough to get her attention, under the right circumstances.
The rune will absorb the power of her presence. That way, I'll know you were successful."

And then you'll be able to predict the weather?

"Let's be clear. I can predict the weather right here and now. I just choose not to until Kyne has agreed to our deal.
Though, between you and me, I do hope she agrees. Becoming a hermit hasn't exactly done wonders for my coin purse."

Once you've screamed at the three vistas and returned:

"All done, are we? Let's see if Kyne has answered your call.
Yes, I feel her presence within the rune. The goddess has accepted your offer. Now, tell me, where is this organization of yours headed to?"

Murkmire. Jee-Lar can give you more details.

"Jee-Lar, is it? Then I'll be expecting my payment from him too, I suspect.
Still, Kyne believes that your intentions are true. For that, I'll give you a prediction. Let's call it a... proof of further investment."

We're most concerned about storms that could delay the expedition.

"Very well. I shall scour the sky of Murkmire, and see if any such storms lie before you."

I'll let Cyrodilic Collections know of your predictions.

Hodyette will then predict one of the following:

Weather	Prediction
Storms	"Heed Kyne's wisdom! A terrible storm brews within the skies of Murkmire!"
Light Rain	"Kyne's wisdom is mine! Light rain shall fall upon your expedition."
Clear Weather	"I see Kyne's wisdom! Your expedition will meet with clear skies."

If you speak to her afterwards she'll say: "You've gotten your prediction, as promised. Now get going. All your shouting is ruining my peace and quiet."
