Interactions[]

Rise in the East[]

Stig is the only means of getting to the bottom of where the pirate clan has their main base of operations. The Dragonborn has to either bribe or brawl with him to get the information.

The note in Stig's pocket can also be read to obtain the information and continue with the quest.

Dialogue[]

Rise in the East[]

"What're you looking at?"

Have you heard of a pirate crew called the Blood Horkers? "Heard of them? I've been captaining a crew for 'em well on nine years now. What's it to you?"

Lots of gold to be had plundering ships. "Aye, the war keeps the Empire and the locals too busy to worry about us. Haldyn calls it "our golden age.""

Who is Haldyn? "Our secret ingredient, if you will. A battle-mage of fearsome cunning. Runs the Blood Horkers, and makes sure the battles end right-side up."

Where would I go to join up? "Well I can't just tell that to any skeever that washes up. From the look of you, I'm guessing you're more looking to cause some trouble for the Horkers."

Do I have to beat it out of you? (Brawl) "It would be my pleasure."

So where are the Blood Horkers at? "Haldyn will take my hide for this, but Skyrim's been feeling a bit confining lately. We draw council at Japhet's Folly. The fools in Windhelm won't go near it, which is fine by us. If you pardon me now, my crew needs gathering. Should be in Hammerfell before the other Horkers know who let slip their secret."

Would this loosen your tongue? () "Ah, I think that'll do just the trick. Haldyn will take my hide for this, but Skyrim's been feeling a bit confining lately. We draw council at Japhet's Folly. The fools in Windhelm won't go near it, which is fine by us. If you pardon me now, my crew needs gathering. Should be in Hammerfell before the other Horkers know who let slip their secret."

Conversations[]

Beasts of the sea[]

Karita: "You beasts are the worst." Stig: "Come now, dearie, surely we aren't all that bad." Karita: "Just... leave me alone! I've brought your mead, now drink it and shut your filthy mouths." Alding: "Oh, we've got other things in mind for our mouths, sweetie."
