"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"


A form of the Daedric "Lord of the Hunt" Hircine, he congratulates the Dragonborn for their kill of the White Stag. When asked by the Dragonborn if he was talking to Hircine, he replies that he is the "spirit of the hunt" and that this was "just one glimpse of the glorious stalker that you call, Hircine." Asking what he would have them do, Hircine tells the Dragonborn that their "fealty is precious to me" and that will be used to his advantage. He comments that the Dragonborn wears his his ring and that although Sinding (who had stolen the ring) had fled to the Bloated Man's Grotto where he thought he was safe from hurting anyone if his werewolf form, he is not safe and the more he tries to protect himself, the more he ends up trapped. Hircine commands the Dragonborn to kill Sinding and "tear the flesh from his body" to present to him as an "offering." He warns the Dragonborn to hurry as there are other hunters wanting to "vie for my favor" and vanishes. 

After killing the hunters and letting Sinding live, Hircine congratulates the Dragonborn, who is surprised by this show of approval when he failed to fulfill the Daedra's command. But the "Lord of the Hunt" commends the ingenuity of turning the hunt on the hunters and makes a side note that the hunters who the Dragonborn had killed were no novices. Hircine tells them that he is both impressed and amused by how the Dragonborn thinks and acts and gives them both his ring and his blessing.

Just as he has the axe raised over his head, Aludin arrives and lands on top of the stone watchtower the stone has been set in front of.

"The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim"

 The Priestess was asked by the Imperial Captain to "read" the Stormcloak prisoners their "last rites" before they were executed. She tells them all that their souls were being commended to the "immortal plains" of Aetherius and that they have the blessings of the Eight Divines, noting that "you are the salt and earth of Nirn." However she is cut off by a Stormcloak soldier, who demands that she "shut up" for "the love of Talos" and demands that they get his execution over with. She curtly replies to him with the phrase "as you wish" and moves away from the executioners block to watch the soldier have his head cut off by the Imperial Headsman.

When Alduin arrives and disrupts the execution- just before the Dragonborn can be executed- the whole of Helgen is thrown into panic and is burnt; with many townspeople and soldiers killed in the carnage. It was unknown whether or not she had managed to escape from the Helgen or if she had died.

 After retrieving the broken Azura's Star from Ilinalta's Deep and bringing it back to Azura's Shrine, Aranea Ienith communes with the Daedric Queen of Dawn and Dusk, telling the “Mother of Roses” that her Dragonborn “champion” has returned her Star to her . Ienith tells the Dragonborn to put their hands on Azura's alter and let her speak to him personally.

Greeting the Dragonborn, she tells them that they have “followed my guidance through the veils of Twilight and rescued my star from Malyn Varen.” However she reveals that the star has been corrupted by Varen and severed her connection temporarily from her own artifact. When the Dragonborn questions if their was a way to “cleanse the star,” Azura tells them that there isn't as Malyn's soul is still trapped within the star and that it needed to be banished before she can do anything else- for the process would take too long if it was left naturally (longer than the Dragonborn would be able to live). However she tells the Draonborn that she can use her powers to send them within the Star to be able to get rid of the soul. Telling her that they are ready, she comments that they must have faith and that she will be watching over them.

After Malyn is killed within the Star, Azura proclaims that now the star is “free to purify itself” and that the Dragonborn should not worry as they will be returned “before you are cleansed.”

Back at the Shrine, Azura reveals that Malyn has now been “consigned to Oblivion” and that the Star has been restored, congratulating the Dragonborn for their help in this task. She tells them that as she has “destined” they are free to use the star as the Dragonborn sees fit. After being thanked, she tells them to remember that she “will be guarding over the threads of your fate in the Twilight” giving the artifact willingly to the Dragonborn.
