By the time you've finished, two other villagers have brought Foryn's body from the town center, which they place on the pyre. As she works her way across the pile, she has you pour water onto the heated clay to flash-cool it, turning it into a simple ceramic. You watch as she conjures a stream of heat and flame from her hands and proceeds from end to end of the clay. Once the clay is placed, Indrele asks you to stand back. The tapered end, which is where you're guessing the feet will go, is lowest to the ground and rounds to a half-funnel about four inches across. The outer edges are significantly raised, and the middle sunken, with about half a foot height difference between the two. Over the next several minutes the two of you construct what is apparently a dunmer funeral pyre, the first step of which is simply building a slanted bed of silty clay in a rounded triangle roughly the size of a coffin. Apparently even this female dunmer commoner is much stronger than you are. You do as she says, though you notice that it takes you longer and the mount of earth you can move with each scoop is much less than she was moving. Just keep scooping silt from that spot right there until I say to stop." She hands you the bowl and steps out of the water. You find Indrele standing ankle deep in the water using a large bowl to shovel silt onto a growing pile on the water's edge. He points, and you head in that direction. Why don't you help Indrele build the pyre. But, umm.I actually don't know any destruction magic." : "I'd actually, yeah.that would be.sure. Seeing that you're watching them, one of them calls over to you. Nobody seems concerned at all that they're standing over the corpse of a fallen villager. The weather, the egg trade, a relative that might visiting. mostly dunmer, standing around Foryn's corpse.Īt first you're afraid it might be the beginning of an angry mob, but after approaching close enough to hear their conversation they don't seem to be discussing anything of consequence. Once outside you notice there's a small crowd of villagers. You thank Sellus for the reward and step outside the census office to go find Vibius.
