Dialogue
(player): I hope you know what you're doing. (Give book)
That is my hope as well. I am trusting that you will make this sacrifice worthwhile.
(player): What do you need?
No... he is too strong...
(player): What do you need?
There is nothing else to say. I am in the All-Maker's hands now.
(player): What do you need?
Give me the book. I will read it, and speak to old Herma-Mora myself. I will make sure he lives up to his part of the bargain.

(player): What are the "secrets of the Skaal"?
Ancient lore, handed down from shaman to shaman since the All-Maker first gave Solstheim to the Skaal.
How to talk to the wind, how to listen to the earth - these are our secrets. Nothing of power or mastery.
Follow-up choices
(player): Why would Hermaeus Mora want your secrets?
We know him as Herma-Mora, the Demon of Knowledge. It is in his nature to hoard secrets to himself. Their value to him is of no consequence.
The very fact that the Skaal have kept knowledge from him has merely increased his desire to have it.
Follow-up choices
(player): He said it's the only way he'll teach me the final Word of Miraak's Shout.
So it falls to me to be the one to give up the secrets to our ancient enemy. I do not know if I have the strength to face him.
With Miraak's corruption of the Stones... the Oneness of the land is disrupted, and our connection to the All-Maker is broken.
Follow-up choices
(player): I'll restore the remaining Stones if that will help.
It may. It should. And I will think on what you ask of me, to decide if it is necessary, or just another of Herma-Mora's tricks.
(player): He said it's the only way he'll teach me the final Word of Miraak's Shout.

The Tree Stone is still corrupted... the land is still out of balance. But with the other five restored... it may be enough. It will have to be.
Follow-up choices
Yes. The Skaal also tell of the day when we must finally give up our secrets. When Herma-Mora finally wins.
As shaman, it is my duty to guard these secrets, but also to decide when it is necessary to give them up.
I believe that time is now. If I am wrong, may my ancestors forgive me.

(player): What does it mean if we're both Dragonborn?
I am unsure. It may mean that you could save us, or it may mean that you could bring about our destruction.
But our time here is running out. The few of us left free of control cannot protect ourselves for much longer.
You must go to Saering's Watch. Learn there the word that Miraak learned long ago, and use that knowledge on the Wind Stone.
You may be able to break the hold on our people there, and free them from control.
(player): Miraak did claim to be Dragonborn.
That is what the stories say. You are Dragonborn as well, then. Perhaps you are connected.

(player): I am indeed Dragonborn.
Then perhaps you are connected with him. The old tales say that he, too, was Dragonborn.

(player): What does this all mean?
It means what I feared has come to pass. Miraak was never truly gone, and now has returned.
If you could go to this place and see him... Are you like Miraak? Are you Dragonborn?

(player): Your people are free.
So it is. You have proven yourself an ally to the Skaal, and so the Skaal shall be allies to you.
Follow-up choices
(player): What do we do now?
If you have released the Wind Stone and broken the hold on my people, perhaps you can do the same for the rest of Solstheim.
I doubt it will fully stop whatever Miraak is doing, but it may slow his progress.
Follow-up choices
(player): That's not enough. I need to stop Miraak now.
I cannot help with that. None here can. You will need the knowledge Miraak himself learned. You will need to learn more about this Black Book.
Follow-up choices
(player): Tell me more about this book, then.
Miraak had this? This does not look like something of the Dragon cult.
It is a dark thing, unnatural. I would have nothing to do with it. But the Dark Elf Wizard, Neloth...
He came to us some time ago, asking about Black Books. I believe he knows a great deal about them. Perhaps too much.
Seek him out to the south. Be cautious, Dragonborn. There is something else at work here.
