Gwaering is a Bosmer located in Silvenar. Gwaering is the successor of her aunt Finoriell as The Green Lady. She marries the new Silvenar, Indaenir.

Background

Natural of Deepwoods, a region of Malabal Tor, Gwearing has always been known as a brave and strong Bosmer. She has always been a long-time companion of Ulthorn, a childhood friend, hunting companion and her romantic interest. One of her most prominent deeds was to save him from senche-tigers in an area where they used to play when children.

Gwaering was also known as a very skilled archer. One of her most famous mythos depicts an archery training with Ulthorn and her sister Lanwaen, was when Gwaering shot an arrow that split Ulthorn's in two, just like the next one. It is said that she never missed a shot.

Unfortunately for Ulthorn, the courage, strength and skills of Gwearing led to her indication as The Green Lady by Y'ffre herself, when her aunt, Finoriell, died following her Silvenar's death.

Gwearing saw herself obligated to end her relationship with Ulthorn, since her natural mate would be The Silvenar, soon to be chosen as Indaenir. She finally cut all binds with him. Ulthorn, unhappy that destiny would not keep them together, then attempted to change this and made a pact with the Daedric Prince Hircine.

However, unknown to her, that was not the last time she would see her former lover, as he would torment and threaten her, Indaenir's, and even the whole Bosmer races' life in order to obsessively change their destiny.

Dialogue

Show: The Drublog of Dra'bul

At the start of the quest: "The sergeant said Velyn Harbor would have fallen without you. Honor to meet you—I'm the Green Lady. The, uh, the new one. I could use your help. The Drublog clan usually side with my people in times of war. We need to learn what changed." How do we do that? "I'm going to Dra'bul, the Wood Orcs' nearest settlement. If The [sic] [Do not change this to the. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] Silvenar arrives, I'll send him on ahead. When you can, I'd appreciate your help in Dra'bul. You have a spear in this pig too, since you fought the Drublog here." Why don't we just go together? "To be blunt, you couldn't keep up. Don't be offended. I can travel through the forest at great speed. I'll perform a few emissarial duties here, and still beat you to Dra'bul." All right, then we'll meet in Dra'bul. "Velyn Harbor's been preparing for my wedding, so I have to take the time to meet with the locals. Don't worry! I'll still beat you to Dra'bul." When the Silvenar arrives, will he be safe? "He'll be as safe as his entourage can make him. Don't worry. I may embody the physical prowess of the Wood Elves, but the Silvenar has all our spiritual strength. That's why our union is so important to my people." What do you mean? "The Bosmer were once carefree, untroubled by things beyond Valenwood. With changing times, we also changed. The Silvenar holds the spiritual essence of the Bosmer, and the Green Lady holds the physical aspects. Each generation, we renew our vows." Who are you, exactly? "My name is Gwaering, and I've only recently become the Green Lady. The former Green Lady, my aunt Finoriell, died while traveling on behalf of the Dominion's Queen. At her death, my destiny was revealed, and I began the necessary rituals." What sort of rituals? "Too many, if you want to know the truth! Still, it's important for the Bosmer to see the Silvenar and Green Lady married. It keeps us stable. I'm proud of my heritage, and have renounced my worldly obligations in order to become the Green Lady." At Dra'bul, if "The Hound's Men" has been completed: "Seems I've a lot to thank you for. I didn't expect you to go off and save my sister while I was away. Glad you made it here in one piece." Have you spoken to the Drublog yet? "No. Well, I've spoken to them, but gotten no answers. This may take a little more effort than I first estimated."

Show: Reap What is Sown

At the start of the quest, if "The Hound's Men" has been completed: "The Drublog refuse to tell me anything. After what happened in Velyn Harbor, I can guess why. My sister's safe because of you. Can I count on you here too?" What do you need? "Another pair of eyes. I need to meet with the chieftain, Chieftain Agrakh, and my travel will be limited. But I can make a glamour—a disguise—for you. As a Drublog soldier, you'll be able to go where I can't." You want to disguise me as Drublog [sic] [Do not change this to as a Drublog. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] soldier? "First, take a lock of hair from a Drublog champion … with a blade, if you have to. Chieftain Agrakh will respect your strength and allow you to attend the meeting. If he lies to us? I'll make a glamour with the lock of hair. Then you can look around. I'll get to work. After speaking with Chieftain Agrakh: "As I expected. Chieftain Agrakh is hiding something, but I don't know what. Good thing we've already planned for this. Are you ready for a little subterfuge?" Yes. Once I'm disguised, what should I do? "I want you to find their shaman. I saw him heading to the beach a short while ago. The chieftain is waiting for something, and I need to find out what. Find a good hiding place and listen in." All right. I'm ready for the disguise. "Good. Follow me—we want to be a little less … visible for this." After rescuing her: "The Hound. He has gone too far! If what he said was true, the Silvenar—my Silvenar—is gone!" Who is the Hound? Do you know him? "Yes. It'll take too long to explain, though. I must go after him. The Hound is my concern, and mine alone. Yet, I can't just leave the Silvenar in danger. It's as if I must be in two places at once." What are you going to do? "I have to face the Hound. If I can reason with him, then there'll be no need to go after the Silvenar. Even after all he's done, I need to give him that chance."

Show: Restore the Silvenar

After freeing her from the Hound's control: "The shadow's lifted! For the first time in many moons, my spirit is my own. I can see my destiny again. Without your help, the Silvenar might never have made it back. I hope I didn't injure you." I'll recover. You're very strong. "I embody the physical strength of the Bosmer, but it proved useless against Hircine's magic. The Hound was once my dearest friend Ulthorn. Despite everything, I thought I could make him change his destructive course. I was wrong." What happened? "Ulthorn allowed me to think I could reach him, but his words were wrapped in Hircine's magic as the Hound. They drew out my primal spirit, and I lusted for the hunt. I felt as the ancient Bosmer must have felt, before the Pact." How was that? "Like there was nothing for me but blood, and the kill. If you hadn't arrived, I'd be a Houndsman, hunting innocent Bosmer. But stronger, with my power as the Green Lady encouraging others to turn feral. We must complete the handfast quickly." What do we need to do now? "Retrieve the Handfast. It was crafted in Valeguard and sent here for the wedding ceremony. Fortunately, the spinners hid it away somewhere in the city, to keep it from the Hound … and me." Where should I look? "Scout Anglith, chief of the Silvenar's hunters, should know. Considering how much you've helped us already, I can't think of anyone else who deserves the honor more than you." I'll be back soon with the Handfast. During the ceremony: "I hope the Silvenar survives the handfast bonding. I know he has great spiritual reserves, but …. Well, anyway, I'm certain he can handle the celebrations!"

Show: The First Step

"I know that scent. Green keep you, my friend. The Silvenar and I are well pleased that we could be here to support the Khajiiti people." The Wood Elves aren't worried about the Mane's fall? "Oh, no. My people are deeply divided. I believe this is one of the most vulnerable moments our fragile Dominion has faced. King Camoran himself felt he had to remain in Valenwood. Stay close to the people, keep them from worrying." What do you think? "I have spoken with the Champions, taken in their scent. They seem lean, strong, flexible … much like my Silvenar. I fear they do not have the experience, the age, that the Mane should have. But I am willing to watch and wait and see."

Show: The Moonlit Path

In the vision, by the Silvenar's body: "He'll be all right. We've suffered through worse." He doesn't look well, my lady. "He's fine. He's just tired. We've been running for so long now. I don't know how much longer we can keep this up." What happened to the Wood Elves? "After Akkhuz-ri's fall, and the death of Gharesh-ri, the Khajiit fell away from the Dominion. The other Alliances moved in. We tried to make the heart of the forest beat that much stronger, but they lost hope." What did you do? "We … we said the words. And the Wild Hunt returned to Valenwood. It roamed through the forest, drove our people feral. It had consumed them before we realized what had happened. That's when the chase began." Will you be able to survive? "Who knows? As soon as my mate wakes we can get moving again. Then from there, I have no clue. But wait. He's stirring. What is it, my heart? Are you all right?" After slaying the Silvenar: "We fought so hard for our people. To see him dead by my own hand …." I'm sorry for your loss. "We did what we had to do. This isn't your fault. This is … this is Ayrenn's fault! That witch. She held the Dominion so tight that it suffocated. And now we have no more breath in our chests." What will you do now? "It … it doesn't matter. The others will find me. And with my Silvenar dead, I shall soon follow. The heart of the forest, dead, and the Wild Hunt rampant. This is the end …." I can't just leave you. "Go! There's no hope now … if the Khajiit hadn't left us. If those bastard cats and the witch-queen of the Altmer hadn't … go! Leave us, and remember that the heart of the forest once beat within the chest of an Elf."

Conversations

Roku: "Are you hurt, Elf?" Shaman Glazulg: "Roku! Stay back!" The Hound: "Though I am in Silvenar's city, I have power. Chieftain, cut them down!" Chieftain Agrakh: "I warned you, Roku! You chose to stand against your people!"" Shaman Glazulg: "No! Brother! Stay your hand!" <Chieftain Agrakh slays Roku> Shaman Glazulg: "My daughter! This is not loyalty. You're this hound's pet!" <The Green Lady wakes up> The Green Lady: "Chieftain Agrakh. You have much to answer for. The Hound … I know who he truly is. It does not bode well."

Restore the Silvenar

The Green Lady: "How dare you threaten us? The Hound is my true consort! You will not interfere!" The Hound: "I'm here, Gwaering! No one can stop our union now!" The Silvenar: "Green Lady! Remember the Green Pact! Come to me!" The Hound: "No! We belong together!"

The Ties That Bind

After the first barrier:

Gwaering: "Of course, Ulthorn! It's a beautiful first kill!" Ulthorn: "Then you'll …." Gwaering: "How could I not? But … the spinners have summoned me. I must go to Silvenar."

After the second barrier:

Ulthorn: "The Green Lady? But that's impossible!" Gwaering: "If the spinners say I am, then I must be. We … we weren't meant to be." Ulthorn: "No! You must refuse. Gwaering, we will not be torn apart like this!" Gwaering: "Ulthorn, please. My part in this story is … over." Ulthorn: "Then the story is wrong!"

After the third barrier:

Gwaering: "You shouldn't have come, Ulthorn." Ulthorn: "They fear him, Gwaering! With Hircine's aid, we could …." Gwaering: "The Daedric Prince? I won't hear any more. If you think I'd turn against my people, you're mad." Ulthorn: "I don't care what it takes. Gwaering, I won't let this die. I'll do anything for you!" Gwaering: "Anything? Then stop! My duty is to my people. I will protect them from any threat. Even you!" Ulthorn: "Gwaering …." Gwaering: "Take back the amulet, Ulthorn. Take it, and remember what we once were." Ulthorn: "This isn't over. This is not the end!"

The Moonlit Path

In the vision, while fighting off the feral Bosmer:

The Silvenar: "Why? Why my love? Why is this happening?" The Green Lady: "The Hunt … it's turned them. This never would have happened if the Dominion had stayed intact! Damn the eagle banner!" The Silvenar: "I'm glad you two showed up. You can help us find … nng."

while fending off the feral Bosmer:

The Silvenar: "Nng! The pain! I can't go on much longer like this." The Green Lady: "What's wrong, my heart? Are you wounded?" The Silvenar: "I don't know. I feel weak. I don't know what's happening." The Green Lady: "Hold on a little longer, my love … damn it. Yet more coming. Help us!"

After fending off the feral Bosmer:

The Green Lady: "We can't hold this place. Got to get out of here. Follow, if you would live." The Silvenar: "Leave me here, my love. Find safety. I can fend for myself." The Green Lady: "Don't say that. You'll be well. There's still hope, love. There's still hope."

After talking to her:

The Green Lady: "What's wrong? What's happening?" The Silvenar: "Run. Get out of here!" The Green Lady: "No, love. I won't. I can't leave you!" The Silvenar: "Get out of here before I hurt you!"
