Odyn: Helya has made a mockery of my order by creating her own “helarjar”, powerful undead tasked with hunting down heroic warriors and taking their souls before my val’kyr can claim them. Among them is her personal champion, Vigfus Bladewind, who wields stolen blades I forged myself long ago. He has returned to Tideskorn Harbor with a full cargo of stolen souls to take to Helheim. Go there, kill him and his helarjar, and make the swords yours.

Vigfus Bladewind: Helya! Aid your champion! This prize will be worth it!

fury-warrior-artifact-questline-00041

 

Specter of Helya: This is a champion of Odyn! It is fitting they die by Odyn’s own blades! I instill a part of my own life force into these blades. Go now Vigfus, slay this champion and earn my favor for eternity…
