Having a Whale of a Time

Travel (by boat, horse, or Fast-Travel) to the western tip of Ard Skellig, just south of Eldberg Isle, close to the village of Arinbjorn. Eyvind can be found on the western outskirts, on a drystone-walled peak overlooking the ocean. Eyvind is staring out to sea—not looking for Nilfgaardian ships, but a fabled white whale named Gevorg. Agree to watch for the whale together, while you ask him about elven ruins in Skellige. During the chat, the whale surfaces! However, Eyvind doesn’t see it. You can:

Try to tell him, but the whale disappears back into the ocean before he can gaze at the majesty of the animal.

Don’t tell him, and he never spots the animal.

You tell him the elven ruins you seek are in the name of research. These are for either:

• A treatise on the Aen Seidhe under Ermion’s tutelage: Answer with this, and Eyvind distrusts both you and the druid, and refuses to give up the location of the ruins.
• Or an adventure novel: Eyvind becomes excited, and hopes you’ll use one of his song translations. Agree to this, and the ruin’s location is revealed (and you need not visit the pearl diver).

Time to leave, returning to Yennefer in Kaer Trolde Harbor if instructed, or find the pearl diver if you haven’t been told the ruins location.
