The Totems of Hircine
Praying to one of the totems in the Underforge will grant you a unique ability that can be activated while in beast form. These abilities are:
 * Totem of The Hunt: Detect Life ability.
 * Totem of Brotherhood: Summon 2 Wolf Spirits.


 * Totem of Fear: Howling will Fear enemies.

Bugs

 * This quest may be impossible to start as Aela will constantly give the player Animal Extermination quests, this is possibly caused by marrying her, the solution is having all the remaining witches heads in your inventory and not stored in one of your houses. (Tested on 360)
 * If the player chooses to be cured of being a werewolf this quest is either more difficult to receive or cannot be completed and the character will instead receive animal extermination quests from Aela. The cure can be completed at a later time.
 * If married to Aela, while traviling to Harmugstahl to get werewolf totem she will disappear and you will not be able to complete this quest. It is possible to fix this bug by waiting in Dragonsreach for 24 hours, but it does not always work.
 * If you've completed A Daedra's Best Friend, you may be taken to Haemar's Cavern and your system can lock up when entering Haemar's Shame . You won't be able to complete the quest and will have Aela as a follower, but with no dialog options. On PC, this can be resolved by manually advancing the quest with the console command "setstage cr12 20".
 * When visiting the underforge to place a totem in the correct place Aela will be running on the spot, or into objects. This will continue when you leave causing Aela to slowly slide down the side of Jorvaskar and into Whiterun. It seems to stop when you leave Whiterun and repeats everyime you bring a totem back.
 * If you have completed A Night to Remember and Morvunskar is the location to the Totem, then Sanguine may be there fighting mages.
