Solstheim Side Quests: Rings of the Werewolves

Rings of the Werewolves*

Howling at the Frostmoon

During your travels through Solstheim, you may be told about the inhabitants of an icy overhang called Frostmoon Crag. You can:

Simply visit the place, which is southwest of the Altar of Thrond, north of Brodir Grove, and northeast of the Abandoned Lodge.

Or, visit Geldis the innkeeper in The Retching Netch in Raven Rock and ask for some rumors. One of these mentions the strange folk that make camp here. Time to pay them a visit?

Or, if you’re a werewolf (after completing The Companions Quest: The Silver Hand), you may encounter an explorer in Solstheim Wilderness Encounter: Hairy Hunter. He recognizes you as a fellow werewolf and tells you of Majni’s pack.

Rings and Things

The camp is a large underhang at the edge of the snowline, with views of Highpoint Tower to the southeast. Depending on your actions and attributes, the pack at this camp reacts in several different ways:

Rakel stops you as you approach the camp and speaks to you:

  • If you are not a werewolf, she tells you to leave.
  • If you are a werewolf but not in Beast Form, she recognizes it after a moment, and allows you to pass.
  • If you are a werewolf in Beast Form, she welcomes you immediately.

At this point, if you’re not a werewolf, you can:

  • Leave forthwith to avoid any unpleasantness.
  • Speak to Majni, Akar, Hjordis, or Rakel. They all tell you to go away.
  • If you wait around the camp long enough, steal anything, or attack anyone, the pack turns hostile.

At this point, if you are a werewolf, you can:

  • Speak to Majni to be formally welcomed. After speaking to Majni, you become friends with the pack, and you’re free to sleep in the camp and take low-value items without it being considered a crime.
  • Trade with Majni. In addition to some standard hunter’s food and items, he also sells a unique set of werewolf rings (listed below).
  • Speak to Majni, Akar, Hjordis, and Rakel to learn more about them and their pack.

If you commit a crime or otherwise cause the camp to become hostile:

  • Majni and Akar turn to their Beast Forms immediately.
  • Hjordis and Rakel remain in human form but will change if you kill the others.

Once all four are dead, you can take whatever you want from the camp, including a chest [Adept]. However, you can’t get the rings this way. The only way to obtain them is to buy them from Majni.
