Season of Harvest Season of Harvest is a quest available in . The Vestige entered a secluded grove near Daggerfall Harbor called Bad Man ' s Hallows . The people here are engaged in a festival honoring the Bad Man , an ancient harvest god . Walkthrough . Nicholas welcomes the Vestige to Bad Man ' s Hallows and the Harvest Festival . The Bad Man is one of the old gods . According to local tradition , appeasing him will ensure a good harvest . Superstitious nonsense , but an excellent excuse for a festival . To appease the Bad Man we gather baskets of fresh apples and bags of hearty grain , then we burn them on the sacrificial altar , in his honor . Then comes the feast . Gather a few apples and grain bags , then place the offerings on the altar . Then Curator Nicholas will perform a ritual , wait for him to finish it and then talk to him again . As a final step the Vestige must scatter dirt on the fire . According to the legend , " Just as our crops feed on the soil of the Hallows , so too will the Bad Man feed " . It ' s also a tradition , so humor us . Go over to the fire and throw dirt on it . The tunnels . The sacrificial fire engulfed the Vestige who now finds themselves transported to a series of tunnels , probably under the tree . The tunnels are littered with scavengers and the dead . Fight the creatures while moving forward in through the tunnel system until they find a woman trapped by the living roots . She pleads to be freed and promise to explain everything as soon as she is free . She killed a shalk before the roots grabbed her , go and cut out its fire gland , then use it to burn away these roots . Hurry over and cut the gland out of the shalk , then return and burn the roots and free Eveline . Thanks for coming along , she says , we have a lot of work to do . That was no Harvest Festival , those people are Daedra worshippers , and we ' re in terrible danger . We need to get out of these tunnels . We are directly under the tree , but it ' s not a tree . It ' s a minor Dremora lord . The tree ' s roots are the key , he channels dark energy through them to keep this pocket Oblivion from collapsing upon itself . Destroying the roots will hurt him . Using shalk glands to burn the roots in these caverns will weaken him . She ' ll be working on an escape while the Vestige burn the roots . Follow the markers to the tendril clusters that needs to be burned , if short on shalk glands there are few shalks to kill around in the tunnels . In one of the chambers a Bosmer named Finvir can be found . Help him find the ceremonial gems he needs while burning the roots . Return to Eveline when the burning has been done , she ' ll be waiting for the good news . By burning the roots , we ' ve got the Bad Man ' s attention , he ' s angry and now we need to fight him . Take these shalk glands , we need to find a way to feed them directly to the Dremora . Let her know what the Curator Nicholas said about the offerings on the altar . She is surprised that he is alive , that traitor . He was part of their circle , if he ' s alive he made a deal with the Dremora . The altar may be the answer , the Vestige needs to get back to the glen . Go through the portal back to Glenumbra . Back in the glen . It ' s a total devastation in the glen , everyone seems to have died but Nicholas , he is sitting down against a tree , injured . Go over and talk to him to find out what happened . The Bad Man ' s anger came after the Vestige were consumed in the flame . He became enraged and turned on us , rained death upon the grove . It was consumed in fire . What happened down there he asks . Explain to him about the shalk glands and burning of the roots and he says that this of course can be the only way to defeat him . Burn those glands at the altar , he ' ll be forced to consume them and they ' ll burn him from the inside out . Hurry , it ' s our only chance ! Run over to the altar and place the shalk glands , then wait for the Dremora to appear . Fight him and defeat him , then return to Eveline who has come back from the tunnels . She felt a shift in the planes , is it done ? We should leave this place now , with the Daedra banished the glen will collapse in upon itself . Thanks for all the help and she does hope the Vestige will have the good taste to not mention her involvement in all this .
