Greenspeaker Nedolir

Greenspeaker Nedolir is a Wood Elf greenspeaker who can be found in Vashabar. He is Laeni's father and Agawen Ciiril's sister.

Quest-Related Events

When you reach the outskirts of Vashabar, you will find Laeni, Clendagal, Minth and Greenspeaker Nedolir. There will appear to have been an argument:

Minth: "We're done here."

<Minth walks away.>

Greenspeaker Nedolir: "Agreed. You arse."

<Greenspeaker Nedolir walks away in the opposite direction.>

Laeni: "Yffre's bones! Fine!"

Speaking with Laeni, she explains that she and Clendagal have been wanting to marry for years, but their fathers hate each other and refuse to give their blessings. The recent argument was the last straw, and the pair feel forced to leave the village if they wish to marry. Laeni then asks you to talk to Agawen Ciiril to get her help with supplies for the coming journey. Speaking with Ciiril, she suggests approaching both fathers about the lovers' plans and will give you some of her Jagga to ease the conversation. She hopes that this will get them to see reason.

Greenspeaker Nedolir can be found in his seed pod home, and he will at first be amendable to conversation:

"Y'ffre's knees, a stranger. Welcome. What can this old greenspeaker do for you?"

Before we get down to business, how about we share a mug of jagga. It's Ciiril's best!

"My sister sent you? And with jagga no less? Hmm. What's my sister up to this time?
Well, I'll drink with you stranger and hear what you have to say. Ciiril does make some mighty fine jagga."

I came to tell you that Laeni plans to leave the village so she and Clendagal can wed.

"Rabbit dung! Laeni will be our next greenspeaker. She'd never abandon her duty to the Green! Damn Minth and his Dawnway spawn. They're weeds in our garden! I won't allow this marriage. I'll make that clear to Laeni—as soon as I finish this jagga."

Well, enjoy the rest of your jagga. Thank you for talking to me.

If you try talking to him again, Nedolir will busy drinking Ciiril's Jagga:

"Mmm. Must be Ciiril's new batch. No matter! A union between Laeni and that son of a Dawnway does not have my support. Not at all!
I'll make sure Laeni knows that—as soon as I'm done with this jagga."

When you return to Ciiril, she will want the couple to stay so there is a chance to resolve things in the future. She has you talk to other villagers like Gundelion and Malaniel and you are eventually pointed towards Spinner Belwelas. The spinner will tell you to retrieve a copy of the Rite of Propagation and bring it to Agawen Ciiril. The rite puts the decision for an issue in the hands of the community as a whole, and the decision made must be abided by.

After you have helped Laeni and Clendagal find items that represent them for the rite, you can head back to Vashabar, where several people including Greenspeaker Nedolir will be gathered. As you approach you will see the couple stand together beneath the stone arch and Agawen Ciiril will notice them:

Agawen Ciiril: "Vashabar! Laeni and Clendagal have returned. Let them be heard."

Greenspeaker Nedolir: "Ciiril! What's the meaning of this? Someone explain to me what's going on!"

Speak with Greenspeaker Nedolir to inform him what is happening:

"You again. My sister's co-conspirator. Well, spit it out! Tell me what's going on here."

A Rite of Propagation. Laeni and Clendagal are going to ask the village to sanction their marriage.

"A Rite of Propagation? Did you put them up to this?
There hasn't been a rite like this enacted since I was a child back in Valenwood! What does my daughter hope to accomplish with this archaic rite?"

You said you wanted Laeni and Clendagal to remain in Vashabar. This can make that happen.

"Outrageous! I'll … I'll. I'll drink my jagga and stand here, I suppose. Neither Minth nor I can stand in the way of tradition.
Even if I don't like it."

Good to hear.

Once you have spoken with Greenspeaker Nedolir and told him what is happening, the Rite of Propagation will begin:

<The pair kneel before the crowd.>

Clendagal: "Vashabar, we need your help. Laeni and I want to marry."

Laeni: "As you all know, our fathers refuse to support us. And so we invoke the Rite of Propagation, an ancient Bosmer custom."

Clendagal: "We gathered these symbols, representations of our roles in the village. An Ayleid mosaic for me."

Laeni: "And a greenspring seed for me. Friend, you helped us find them. Please bring them forth."

<The pair stand up.>

You can then place the Ayleid Mosaic and Dormant Greenspring Seed either side of them:

Clendagal: "These symbols represent our commitment to the village and to each other."

Laeni: "Our future lies in whatever you decide. Do we have your support?"

Agawen Ciiril: "Well, what do you say Vashabar? Do you support this union?"

Gundelion: "Aye!"

Malaniel: "Aye!"

Spinner Belwelas: "Aye!"

Melbora: "Aye!"

Agawen Ciiril: "Hah, there it is! Congratulations you two. Let's give the couple a moment. Drinks for everyone!"

<Clendagal and Laeni embrace as the onlookers walk away.>

Greenspeaker Nedolir: "All right, you old arse. The village has spoken so let's make the best of this."

Minth: "I suppose you're right, you bastard. If we're going to be kin, let's get to drinking like it."

Speaking with Greenspeaker Nedolir before Laeni:

"I can't believe it's come to this. Are we just old fools in the eyes of the village?"

Talking to him after the quest in completed:

"Belwelas has always tried to teach us to listen when the Singer tells a tale.
Perhaps this … situation will be good for the village."

How will this be good for the village?

"Since before we crossed the Strid to settle Vashabar, there's been a tension in the clan. The ways of the ancients in conflict with our devotion to the Green. Now maybe we can put that all behind us."

You're talking about the differences between the Green Pact and the Dawnway?

"Yes, just so. Perhaps … perhaps … my daughter's union with Clendagal might build a bridge across that divide.
And you know, deep down, our two beliefs aren't all that different. Not really."
