265851556-0-6603 A scout reported several Reach exiles have been taken captive by strange blind creatures in the depths of Blackreach. The Wayward Guardians want me to rescue them.
149328292-2-12661 Arana spoke highly of you. Where others flee, you run headlong toward the dangers that threaten the Reach. The Wayward Guardians could use that sort of bravery, if you would aid us.
249936564-0-8115 What do you need help with?
3952276-0-8115 A scout reported strange blind creatures in the depths of the Arkthzand Caverns. They hold Reach exiles captive at one of their camps.\n\nThere are stories about these cursed monsters. I would not wish a fate like that on anyone. Not even an exile.
20958740-0-8115 You want to help the exiles?
3952276-1-8115 Even those without a clan deserve to die under the open sky. Whatever these people did to deserve exile, they are still Reachfolk.\n\nI need someone to descend into Blackreach and find them. The scout said the camp was near an underground river.
20958740-1-8115 I can search for the captive exiles in the Arkthzand Caverns.
149328292-2-12659 Our lands have never been safe. Not truly. But that doesn't mean we can't give the people hope.\n\nGo, and may the ancestors watch over you!
228103012-0-64897 Tell me more about these blind creatures.
200879108-0-64897 The scout described them as pale, blind Goblins, but there are no Goblin tribes in these lands. They must be something else.\n\nThere was one other curious thing. The way he described the camp. Their dwellings were not made of hide, or bone, or wood.
204987124-0-64897 What were the dwellings made of?
200879108-0-64898 Fear may have clouded his senses, but the scout swore they were made out of insects. Large chitinous shells, broken limbs, even heads.\n\nI can only assume these creatures hunt and harvest the caverns below as we hunt these hills and valleys.
204987124-0-64898 And you said the camp was along an underground river?
200879108-0-64899 Yes. It shouldn't be hard to find. It means much to us that you would brave such danger to save some of our own.\n\nJust be careful. I wish to see these exiles returned home, but not at the cost of your own life.
204987124-0-64899 Tell me about the Wayward Guardians.
55049764-1-13157 It cannot be! I prayed for salvation from this place, but I never expected it to happen.
228103012-0-64842 Run. Get out of here while you can. Head for the Great Lift.
200879108-0-64842 Thank you, stranger. I long to see the sky again.
55049764-1-13158 I thought I would die down here in the dark. I long to see the walls of Markarth again.
228103012-0-64843 You're free. Head for the Great Lift.
200879108-0-64843 I can make it there. Whoever you are, thank you for coming to save us.
149328292-0-12658 The harrier returns. With good tidings, I hope?
232026500-0-14739 I rescued two of the captives, but the third didn't make it. He was wearing this
116521668-0-14739 Thank you for dealing with this. And for bringing this to me. I will bury it on the banks of the Karth. Hopefully, his spirit will know peace.\n\nAs for the survivors, we will give them a place among us and teach them to better defend themselves.
