- Not to be confused with Eveline.
Eveline Vette is a Breton residing in Bad Man's Hallows, Glenumbra. When first met she is trapped by the roots of the tree in the Bad Man's tunnels.
Background[]
She along with a circle of mages were testing the boundaries of conjuration. They were wildly successful, mortal terror notwithstanding. They summoned a minor Dremora lord. On this plane, it manifests itself as a giant tree at the center of the Hallows. It adopted the guise of the Bad Man to lure the gullible into its trap. All this for divine knowledge and natural curiosity.
Interactions[]
Season of Harvest[]
The Vestige entered a secluded grove near Daggerfall Harbor called Bad Man's Hallows. The people here are engaged in a festival honoring the Bad Man, an ancient harvest god.
Dialogue[]
Season of Harvest[]
When first encountered:
"You're not one of them. Please, you must help me!"
- What's going on? Where am I? "Help me get free of these roots. Then I'll explain everything."
- Why don't you explain now? "Self-preservation. Roots first, then answers."
- What do I do? "The dead shalk over there. I killed it before these roots grabbed me. Cut out its fire gland, then use it to burn away these roots. Hurry!"
After freeing her from the roots:
"Lucky you came along when you did! We've got a lot of work to do."
- I was at the Harvest Festival. How did I get here? "That was no Harvest Festival. Those people are Daedra worshipers, and we're in terrible danger. We need to get out of these tunnels!"
- Is there a way out of here? "We're directly beneath the tree. Except it's not a tree. It's a minor Daedric lord. The tree's roots are the key. He channels dark energy through them, to keep this pocket of Oblivion from collapsing upon itself. Destroying the roots will hurt him."
- How can I destroy the roots? "The same way you freed me. Use shalk glands to burn the roots in these caverns. That should weaken him. I'll work on planning our escape. Once you've burned the roots, come and find me."
- I have a few more questions. "Yes, I'm sure you do."
- Who are you? "Eveline. I was part of a circle of mages testing the boundaries of conjuration. I'd say we were wildly successful. Mortal terror notwithstanding."
- What did you summon? "A minor Daedric lord. On this plane, it manifests itself as a giant tree at the center of the Hallows."
- Is this all the work of the Bad Man? "No, this wasn't the work of any Breton god. The being we're dealing with is a Dremora Lord. It adopted the guise of the Bad Man to lure the gullible into its trap."
- Why exactly did you summon this thing? "The search for divine knowledge. Natural curiosity. Lots of reasons. Look, if we knew it would corrupt our circle, impersonate an old harvest god, and drain the souls of the living, we certainly would have reconsidered!"
- Is this all the work of the Bad Man? "No, this wasn't the work of any Breton god. The being we're dealing with is a Dremora Lord. It adopted the guise of the Bad Man to lure the gullible into its trap."
- What did you summon? "A minor Daedric lord. On this plane, it manifests itself as a giant tree at the center of the Hallows."
- Where are we? "Deep beneath the roots of the tree."
- But how is all of this inside a cave in Daggerfall harbor? "We're not in Glenumbra anymore. The Hallows and these tunnels exist on another plane. A pocket realm. The more the tree grows, the larger this realm becomes. If left unchecked, it could destroy half of Glenumbra."
- How did I get here? "I can only assume you were sacrificed. I don't know why you weren't immediately consumed. The souls of the living are like mead and bread to this thing."
- Who are you? "Eveline. I was part of a circle of mages testing the boundaries of conjuration. I'd say we were wildly successful. Mortal terror notwithstanding."
- I have a few more questions. "Yes, I'm sure you do."
- How can I destroy the roots? "The same way you freed me. Use shalk glands to burn the roots in these caverns. That should weaken him. I'll work on planning our escape. Once you've burned the roots, come and find me."
- Is there a way out of here? "We're directly beneath the tree. Except it's not a tree. It's a minor Daedric lord. The tree's roots are the key. He channels dark energy through them, to keep this pocket of Oblivion from collapsing upon itself. Destroying the roots will hurt him."
After burning the roots:
"Well. You got his attention. I can feel his energies shifting. He's angry."
- I hope so. I've been burning his roots. "You've definitely got his attention. Now we need to take the fight to him. Here are the shalk glands I collected. We need to find a way to feed them to the Dremora, directly."
- Curator Nicholas said that the items we burned on the altar were fed to the Bad Man. "Nicolas lived? Traitorous, lying bastard. He was part of our circle. If he's alive, he made a deal with the Dremora. But, you may be right. The altar may be the answer. We must get you back to the glen!"
After killing the Bad Man:
"I felt it. A shift in the planes. Is it done?"
- The Bad Man is no more. "We should leave this place. With the Daedra banished, the glen will collapse in upon itself. Thank you for all you've done! Um … I hope you'll have the good taste to not mention that I was involved in all this."
