Equipment[]
Dialogue[]
"We don't get many visitors. Is there something you need?"
- What is this place? "Tel Mithryn. It's the home of Master Neloth. You may have heard of him. He's a famous Telvanni wizard."
- He lives in a giant mushroom? "In Morrowind, the Telvanni grow buildings from special fungus spores. Master Neloth grew one here to be his home. Don't ask me how."
- Are you one of Neloth's apprentices? "No. Talvas is his apprentice. I'm his steward. I manage the day to day affairs of Tel Mithryn."
- Who else lives here? "Talvas is Master Neloth's apprentice. If you are interested in spells, he might be willing to sell you some. Elynea is our alchemist. She specializes in mushrooms and other types of fungus. Ulves runs the kitchens."
"Until next time."
Conversations[]
Ash Guardian[]
Varona: "Why are you out here? Aren't you supposed to be in the tower assisting Master Neloth?" Talvas: "Why won't this summoning work? If you must know, I'm trying to get this Ash Guardian spell to work. Now let me concentrate. Besides, shouldn't you be worrying about the damage to the tower?" Varona: "Master Neloth has tasked Elynea with repairing the tower. Why aren't you doing this in the lab, where it would be safer for all of us?" Talvas: "Nothing. The, uh... the lab is too small. Also, I need the ashy soil. Master Neloth knows what I'm doing. No need to bother him about it though. He's quite busy at the moment." Varona: "It's on your head if something goes wrong. Just let me get back inside first." Talvas: "No Ash Guardian. Maybe the book has something. Tort bones? That doesn't even make sense. I'll just ignore that part."
Quotes[]
- "I'd better check on Ulves. The kitchen supplies were getting low."
- "I hate this ash. It gets into everything."
- "There are rumors of dragons on the mainland. I hope they don't show up here."
- "I hope Elynea has something for headaches."
- "Talvas says Master Neloth is asking for me."
- "We don't get many visitors. Is there something you need?"
- "I'm going to have to go to Raven Rock soon. We're running low on some things."

Bugs[]
This section contains bugs related to Varona Nelas (Dragonborn). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- PS4 PC Her body may spawn in the ocean at the bottom left corner of the map. The solution is to download mod "No borders Solstheim" to be able to reach her. Wear boots of waterwalking and walk towards the marker. Stand above the place to which the marker points and use Detect Dead to make sure her body is there. Use an item or potion of waterbreathing, unequip boots and swim down to her. Upon reaching her body the quest will update.
- Her body may be under Tel Mithryn and inaccessible.
- Solution: By activating the Ritual Stone, one may use this power on the rock where she is stuck, and she will then be reanimated. Kill her, and then inspect her corpse.
- She can also spawn inside Raven Rock Mine. If one follows her to the exit of the mine, as soon as she returns to Solstheim, she will die, and her body will disappear.confirmation needed
