Edla

I gathered some plants that are useful for making potions, but I have other goods as well.

Among other things, I have some fresh bread I baked this morning and vegetables from Finna's garden.

Mostly things from the village or the land around it. Have a look.

Many hunters pass through our village, and sometimes the Dark Elves of Raven Rock visit us.

They bring us things from their homeland that we can't find on the island, such as spices, fine cloth and ores that we cannot mine here.

It's true we Skaal prefer a simpler life than some, but we do still enjoy a luxury from time to time.

You would do that? I know he would listen to you. You've been out there in the wide world. You know its perils.

Yes, perhaps you can convince him. I would be grateful if you would do this thing, outsider.

His name is Nikulas. He's a good lad, strong and loyal. I only wish he wasn't so eager to leave the village.

I've tried to tell him that the world beyond our lands is dangerous and cruel, but he won't listen.

May the All-Maker bless you with many sons and daughters, outsider. Once again you have shown that you are a true friend of the Skaal.

I wish that I could give you a reward that is equal to the joy in my heart, but I don't have much to offer one who has so much already.

Perhaps these will prove useful to you. These herbs are unique to the island, and their like cannot be found elsewhere.

Perhaps someday I will have to, but for now I need Nikulas here. You see, his father, my husband, was recently lost to us.

Nikulas is all that I have left in this world. I know it is selfish of me to say so, but I cannot lose him. Not while I still grieve.

Also, I know his heart. Nikulas is reckless and foolish, like most young men. He cannot understand what awaits him in the wide world.
