Totems of Hircine

The Totems of Hircine quests are available after becoming Harbinger of The Companions. The questline revolves around recovering three distinct totems from three different dungeons. The quests are available through Aela the Huntress.

The Totems of Hircine

These abilities are:


 * Totem of The Hunt: Detect Life ability.

With the addition of, these powers can be improved when perks are added to the Werewolf skill tree.

Trivia

 * In between each Totem retrieval, you may be given a few side missions before Aela asks for your assistance again. normal amount = 4 lowest = 2 = highest = 10(Reports of as many as 4, or even upwards of 7) - if you specifically want this side mission and she gives you another, back out of the conversation and leave the area you're currently in and then reenter. Doing this will reset the task she has for you. It's a random chance each time of what job you get.
 * The above applies to starting the quest line as well.
 * The Totem of Fear is the default power of Beast Form.
 * If Aela has the dialogue option "Is there any work to be done?" this means she will give a Totem quest.
 * Bosmer can use the Animal Allegiance power, then the Animal Allegiance shout, and then the power in Beast Form to temporarily have up to 5 animal followers.
