The Island Atheist
Objectives:
|
While exploring the extinct volcano known as Snidhall Isle, you may hear shouts near a small shack. Investigate and watch a warrior sprint towards a balding man with little to protect himself with. Step in. You can:
- Watch or help the warrior cut down the man, after which you’re shooed away and the quest concludes.
- Stop the warrior by challenging him to combat. Afterward, speak to the man you saved. He is Ivar, and the warrior’s sister ran off with him rather than serve the Goddess Freya. Ivar doesn’t believe in “that rubbish about the gods” and desperately wants to reunite with Irma. To do that, he needs evidence to show the priestesses; about the holes in the principles of religion. Agree to find any texts that may aid his cause, and be on your way.
Tome Raider: Heathen Book Gathering
You may now begin the search for five different books, all of which help Ivar learn about the discrepancies with the main religions of the world. Such texts can be difficult to acquire, look for them during searches of dungeons and crypts, or pay a visit to booksellers, such as Marcus of “Books and Scrolls” in Hierarch Square (Novigrad). However, the following locations have a guaranteed copy of each book. Return with a copy of the following:
Book: Tristianna and Isador
Location: Lindenvale, a merchant stall next to the signpost.
| ITEM: Quest Item: Tristianna and Isador (10 Crowns) |
BOOK: RELIGION AND LIFE
Location: Crow’s Perch, the merchant in question is found in the lower section of the fort, close to the bridge entrance.
| ITEM: Quest Item: Religion and Life (10 Crowns) |
Book: The Cult of Freya
Location: Electors’ Square, Novigrad. A “priest” of the Eternal Fire turns out to be an alchemist, hiding from the Redania’s and the Church’s purge of all things remotely magical. It does take some small talk to convince the man to show his wares.
| ITEM: Quest Item: The Cult of Freya (10 Crowns) |
Book: The Curious Case of Virtuous Vegga
Location: Fancy Shop Owner in Novigrad, southeast of the St. Gregory’s Bridge sign post, next to a barbershop and a Notice Board. The text this merchant possesses is among many confiscated from a fallen sorcerer, Aeramas. Other magical oddities required for other tasks can be found here, as well.
| ITEM: Quest Item: The Curious Case of Virtuous Vegga (10 Crowns) |
Book: Change Your Life! A Handbook
Location: Novigrad Loan Shark, to the northwest of the Southern Gate signpost.
| ITEM: Quest Item: Change your life! A Handbook (10 Crowns) |

When you have tomes worth Ivar reading, journey back to Snidhall Isle, and look for the hut at the base of this volcano. Speak with him again and present the books. After perusing the pages, he vows to travel the world, and plan a way to be with Irma. You can meet Ivar later by the docks in Novigrad, where he’s trying to find a job as a sailor.
