The Heart of Dibella

The Heart of Dibella is a quest to find the next Sybil of Dibella for the Temple of Dibella in Markarth.

Getting the Quest
Degaine in Markarth will give the Dragonborn a quest to steal a Statue of Dibella from the Temple of Dibella. Break into the Inner Sanctum and sneak behind the priestesses. If the player is caught while sneaking pass the priestesses, Mother Hamal will give the player this quest as a punishment for trespassing in the temple. Alternatively, the player can sneak out, sell the statue to Degaine, and come back in to "get caught".

Note: If a player is unable to sneak past Hamal, there is a second statue of Dibella in Broken Tower Redoubt. After entering the redoubt, when you reach the first room, go up the stairs on the right and go left on the second floor and follow it around. The statue is in a darkened area past a pile of rubble between 2 barrels. A light source may help, as it's quite dark.

Looking for the Sybil
Talking to anyone in Karthwasten about a little girl and they will direct the player to talk to Enmon, the father of the little girl. Enmon will tell the player that Fjotra was kidnaped by Forsworn from Broken Tower Redoubt and will join in the rescue. Travel to Broken Tower Redoubt and rescue the girl. Take her back to the Temple of Dibella. Hamal tells the player to prostrate themselves at the Altar of Dibella to receive the blessing. You get a permanent effect called Agent of Dibella, which allows the player to do more damage to the opposite sex.

Note: The "altar of Dibella" is the large pool in the center of the initial temple area, rather than one of the many, many other things around the temple and inner sanctum that look like altars.

Bugs

 * Some players have noticed a bug with Hamal. Hamal sometimes suffers from the "lighting fast dialogue", the same bug that has been noticed with Esbern, causing Hamal and the priestessess to attack the player. Found that if you get caught by Hamal that you can start the quest.
 * Hamal says she will inform the family about the Sybil even if Enmon is standing next to her.
 * When the Sybil leaves after finishing the quest she re-locks the expert lock on the inner sanctum door possibly leaving you trapped. (PC & 360)
