Where Spirits Have Lease
Carahil was the young upstart mentioned by Velwyn Benirus in the "Where Spirits Have Lease" quest who led the assault on Benirus Manor, resulting in Logrus Benirus' death. After completing the quest, Carahil may say the Hero of Kvatch finished what she started years ago.
Anvil Recommendation
Entrusted by the Council of Mages to handle the threat of a rogue mage that had been burglarizing and murdering merchants on the Gold Road west of Kvatch and north of Anvil. She may have given the task to the Hero of Kvatch to perform as part of their entrance into the Arcane University. She highlights Brina Cross Inn on the map and directs the Associate to speak with Arielle Jurard upon arriving there. Speaking with Carahil further prompts her to reveal that the rogue mage employs frost magic to murder their victims and provides three scrolls of Frost Shield. Upon killing Caminalda, she expresses shock to learn the murderer was a women and expresses sympathy for her death, despite acknowledging that Arielle and Roliand served their duty by killing her.
Conversations
