Brelor will inform the Vestige that General Endare has been ordering the people at the Falinesti Winter Site to dig for Rajhin's Mantle. After the quest, he will have Rajhin's Mantle transported to Elden Root for Queen Ayrenn's ceremony.

Dialogue[]

A Lasting Winter

At the start of the quest:

"Frost trolls. Why did they have to go and stir up frost trolls?"

What frost trolls? "The Walking City of Falinesti used to spend its winters here. Since then, the Falinesti Faithful come on pilgrimage to pray for its return. But Dominion soldiers pressed the pilgrims into service. They made them dig. Well, they dug up frost trolls."
Why would Dominion soldiers do that? "General Endare ordered them to find Rajhin's Mantle. She believes it's under the Falinesti Winter Site. But Rajhin's Mantle is the relic of a trickster god. She doesn't comprehend the dangers. It must be kept out of General Endare's hands!"
I can help you do that. "I'll take any help you can offer. General Endare has a reputation for being incredibly thorough, whether on the battlefield or off. If the rumors are correct and Rajhin's Mantle is truly here, she will find it. Unless we were to find it first."
Why don't you want General Endare to find it? "I'm concerned about its misuse. Unless you're prepared to handle them correctly, relics such as these can … corrode you. I would tell General Endare myself, but I don't trust her intentions. Not after she pressed these pilgrims into service."
Queen Ayrenn needs Rajhin's Mantle for her ratification ceremony. "Then she's in luck! I served the Eight Divines before joining the Mages Guild. I know what must be done to safely transport a relic such as Rajhin's Mantle. We'll just need to find it before General Endare does."
Where should we start looking? "The Falinesti Faithful believe the Welkynd stones hold the memories of the Walking City. Earlier, I heard soldiers speaking of the same stones. If you can see me past the frost trolls, perhaps we can see what the stones have to do with Rajhin's Mantle."
If it's called Rajhin's Mantle, what do you know of Rajhin? "Rajhin is a Khajiit trickster god, also worshiped by thieves and deceivers. The Khajiit swap tales of Rajhin's greatest pranks. It is said his Seven Shadows do his bidding throughout Tamriel."
Seven Shadows? "Yes, each Shadow reflects a different aspect of Rajhin's personality and power. This could be a convenient metaphor, actual living shadows, or something else entirely."
How does Rajhin's Mantle connect to the Walking City? "I have a theory … but until I can support it, speculation is less than useless. Perhaps the Welkynd stones will reveal more."
Tell me about General Endare. "A famous High Elf general … or infamous, depending on who you ask. Her Jade Dragoons are well respected, but she has an aggressive reputation. The last I heard, she was in Haven."
Why would General Endare be looking for Rajhin's Mantle? "A very good question, which raises another. Rajhin's Mantle is a Khajiit legend. Why does she seek it out in Grahtwood, the home of the Wood Elf king? What could have brought it to the Falinesti Winter Site?"
Why are you afraid of frost trolls? "Arms as tall as a person, an endless hunger, and jaws that can snap off a horse's leg in a single bite. Why am I afraid of frost trolls? The real question is, why aren't you?"

After seeing all three visions:

"General Endare was certain she'd find Rajhin's Mantle beneath the Falinesti Winter Site. She made the Falinesti Faithful dig for that frozen vault. It seems they have uncovered it. And it would certainly explain the frost trolls."

How can we find Rajhin's Mantle before General Endare? "Perhaps Cirtor can help. The Falinesti Faithful aren't led by anyone, but after the soldiers arrived he worked to keep tempers calm. He may know where to find the vault."
Where do we find Cirtor? "Last I saw, he was in an encampment near the dig site. Mostly Falinesti Faithful, with a handful of soldiers. We should avoid the site itself—the frost trolls are down there."
What can you tell me about the Falinesti Faithful? "They're peaceful sorts. Most believe their faith will one day draw the Walking City back from wherever it disappeared."
How would they do that? "You'd be better off asking them to explain their own delusion. I've noted it's not a religious experience for everybody. Some use the annual pilgrimage to hold a revel in Falinesti's honor. Any excuse to celebrate."

After freeing Nairume:

"Forgive me for stating the obvious, but you're alive! We heard some terrible noises in the caves below. What happened?"

I have Rajhin's Mantle. "And you freed Lady Nairume! She's quite agreeable, and could prove to be a living repository of knowledge regarding the Walking City. I hope General Endare didn't give you any trouble."
Rajhin's Mantle drove her mad. I had to kill her. "I see. I don't know why she did all of this, but she was once a hero. I can't imagine her soldiers will take it well. But as you see, such relics are dangerous. I can deliver it to the Elden Root Mages Guild where its powers can be contained."
Queen Ayrenn needs it for her ratification ceremony. "I'll alert the Altmer Embassy when I've returned to Elden Root. Once I have it at the Mages Guild, I'll see if I can discern a safer way to handle it during her ratification ceremony."
All right. Here it is. "Excellent. I can't bear to think of the outcome had you not been here. But no matter. Lady Nairume and I will return to Elden Root as soon as it's safe."

Conversations[]

A Lasting Winter

At the final Welkynd Stone:

Rajhin's Shadow: "Come to me, my little snowbird." Nairume: "What have you done? Where am I?" Rajhin's Shadow: "This vault? I built it to hold a precious treasure, deep below your Walking City. I will keep you safe, and away from … interference." Nairume: "Why have you done this? Is your heart as cold as this chamber?" Rajhin's Shadow: "Your heart is cold, Lady Nairume. Warming it to Rajhin's Shadow will unlock the prison built of your denial." Nairume: "Never! I would rather freeze until time's end than share one warm moment with you!" Rajhin's Shadow: "So be it. This vault shall forever hold your frozen heart! I leave my mantle to conceal the shame you caused me. Farewell, Nairume." Brelor: "Now we know why the Falinesti Faithful were forced to dig. We should speak of this."

After freeing Nairume:

Brelor: "You say the frost trolls surrounded your prison for how many years? Truly detestable, my lady." Nairume: "They were quite terrifying, even when projecting my construct in their midst."
