- Not to be confused with Frederique Gimbert.
Frederique Lynielle is a deceased Breton priestess of Arkay, and, at the time of the Planemeld, is a ghost.
Background[]
At some point in the past, Frederique was a priestess of Arkay. She was considered important enough in the order to hold the Staff of Arkay, a powerful staff that is capable of removing Daedric Abominations. She is first met by the Vestige as a ghostly apparition. Later, she can be seen inside the Vision of the Past. She also authored the note found in this ruin, Crumbling Breton Scroll.

Dialogue[]
Unearthing the Past[]
When first speaking to her:
"Greetings, stranger. You are not a cultist. Help us defeat these necromancers!"
- How? "Take the Staff of Arkay, a potent weapon against undead. You must first charge the staff, then use it to destroy the foul abominations summoned by these necromancers."
- How do I charge the staff? "The blasphemers employ dark magic to raise the dead. Disrupt their rituals and release that energy. The Staff of Arkay will convert this into power to destroy their dark creations!"
- Why are you? "In life, I was a priestess of Arkay. I served King Renwic for many years. I was with him when the Seamount Orcs invaded. We died together at their hands."
- The Seamount clan killed you? "Many died under their blades. But that was long ago. The Bloodthorn Cultists desecrate our graves today. I beg you to stop them."
- Are you the guardian of this graveyard? "Even in death I watch over my people. Necromancy is a crime against Arkay. The aura of corruption builds as my countrymen's bodies are raised and desecrated by these minions of the Worm. I need your help to stop them."
- What can you tell me about these necromancers? "The Bloodthorn Cult's necromancy corrupts nature. They're led by Reachmen of the worst sort, allies of Mannimarco. They raise our dead to assault the Orcs. This desecration must end!"
- Why are you? "In life, I was a priestess of Arkay. I served King Renwic for many years. I was with him when the Seamount Orcs invaded. We died together at their hands."
- How do I charge the staff? "The blasphemers employ dark magic to raise the dead. Disrupt their rituals and release that energy. The Staff of Arkay will convert this into power to destroy their dark creations!"
After charging the staff:
"I sense great power in the staff. You have done well."
- What do I do with it? "The staff will reveal circles of corruption among the crypts. There lurk the Bloodthorn Cult's abominations, hidden in pockets of Oblivion. Plant the staff in a circle to draw an abomination into our world. Then destroy it!"
After destroying the abominations:
"The Bloodthorn's perversion of my people is ended. The honored dead are at rest once again."
- Is the threat ended? [?]
In the vision (alive):
"Spare your blade, Orc. We have yielded to you."
- Answer me true, and you live. Lie, and you die. "Why threaten me? Our island is yours now. Spare us, spare our king, and let me lead the survivors into exile. You have my word as a Priest of Arkay."
- Tell me how to reach King Renwic, or more of you will die. [?]
- If you truly want to end this, tell me what magic your king plots. "Then hear me. Arkay compels me to break my silence. King Renwic is desperate. He seeks an ancient power hidden in the ruins. Scrolls as old as the island whisper of a terrible weapon, an Ayleid relic."
- What does this weapon do? "It summons an undead army, one I fear he cannot control. That army is a crime against Arkay, and it will slaughter more than Orcs. I love my king, but you must stop him."
- Tell me who among you can open that door, and I won't hurt you. [?]
