The Fate of the Skaal
Storn is met when returning to the village with Frea. The Dragonborn tells him of the vision at the Temple of Miraak. Storn's fears had come to pass, and he sends the Dragonborn to Saering's Watch, to find a Dragon Shout that Miraak learned long ago. Upon completion of that quest, he gives two more quests: "Cleansing the Stones" and "The Path of Knowledge".
Conversations
What do you know about Miraak?: "Much of what was known has been lost to the ages. He was Dragonborn, and yet he served the Dragons. A priest in their order, highly esteemed and very powerful. Then he turned against them, becoming something they feared. He was defeated long ago, but it seems he was never destroyed."
Who or what is the All-Maker?: "You are an outsider, and I don't know if I can make you understand. I will try. The All-Maker is the maker of all things, and it is from the All-Maker that life flows like a great river. As all rivers must return to the sea, so all life returns in time to the All-Maker. I know our ways must seem strange to you, but the nine gods of the Empire are equally strange to us."
What is your role among the Skaal?: "As shaman of Skaal Village, I serve as both a guide and a healer, as well as a keeper of traditions. I also remind the Skaal to live as one with nature and to honor the will of the All-Maker, so that we'll be worthy to join him in death."
Secrets of the Skaal
During the quest "The Gardener of Men", Storn reveals the secrets of the Skaal.
What are the "secrets of the Skaal"?: "Ancient lore, handed down from shaman to shaman since the All-Maker first gave Solstheim. How to talk to the wind, how to listen to the earth - these are our secrets. Nothing of power of mastery." Why would Hermaeus Mora want your secrets?: "We know him as Herma-Mora, the Demon of Knowledge. It is in his nature to horde secrets to himself. Their value to him is of no consequence. The very fact that the Skaal have kept knowledge from him has merely increased his desire to have it."
Herma-Mora? Why do you call him that?: "That is our name for him - the Demon of knowledge. He has always been our enemy."
