==Walkthrough==
Merien continues to tell the Vestige, the Bloodthorn have been draining his essence to fuel their necromantic rituals. They are transporting the animated dead from the docks, as far as Cath Bedraud, and Daggerfall is next.
What can be done to stop them, he is trapped in a pocket place of Oblivion and he thinks he can use the magic he still posses to collapse the plane and end the ritual. But if he fails, the Vestige must burn the Bloodthorn's boats and don't let the zombies leave the village.
Head downstairs and talk to Tamien, who has been released by Dame Clarique. He thinks his father's foolish plan is too dangerous. He does think the plan will work but he will kill himself in the process. Here the Vestige must make a choice, to either save Merien or stop the Bloodthorns.
===Saving Merien===
If the Vestige chooses to save Merien, Tamien is relieved of this choice and adds that the cultists have taken control of a house in the middle of the village. He'll just gather some things and will meet up there. Head over to the house, sneaking if possible, to avoid any cultist and enter the building.
Tamien isn't at the house yet, but the Vestige must locate the portal to the pocket plane by going downstairs and try to find Merien. Enter the portal to the pocket plane, exit the house and look for Merien. The plane is dark and reddish in the air, but it's still the village. Follow the marker to find Merien on the ground outside inside a circle. The Shade of Lord Velian is guarding him and he needs to be killed to free Merien.
After defeating Lord Velian, talk to Merien. He is upset as the Vestige followed him in here instead of taking care of the Bloodthorn. But he soon cools down and is forgiving when he hears his son thought he was too valuable to lose. Merien can still collapse the plane and both return to the portal and walk through it.
Merien is grateful for the help saving him and promises to make everything right again. Head upstairs to find Tamien who was worried for them. He had been followed by cultists into the house and fought them to protect the portal until both of them returned. He's talking about leaving Glenumbra now, but he doesn't want Dame Clarique to put him back in chains so he suggests the Vestige go and talk to her while he spends some time with his father.
Head outside to fine Dame Clarique and tell her that together with Tamien they stopped the necromantic ritual and saved his father, but the Bloodthorn escaped. She hopes it was worth it but agrees that taking care of the cultists and the zombies will not be a problem, it was good they stopped the ritual.
===Stopping the Bloodthorns===
If the vestige decides that stopping the Bloodthorns is more important, Tamien will be disappointed but he will understand your choice. While Tamien goes into the pocket dimension to save his father, the Vestige should head north to the docks and burn the boats. Take care, as these boats are guarded by many necromancers and zombies. You will be saving villagers by killing these necromancers, but this is of no consequence for the quest. Once you have burned all four of the boats, return to the Sellan House.
At the house, you will see Tamien sitting by the dead body of his father. Speak with him, and you will learn that he failed to save his father. They were overtaken by Banekin on their way out of the plane, when his father cast a spell to save Tamien. Tamien made it out alive, but Merien did not. Tamien will ask you to speak to Dame Clarique for him; he needs a moment alone to process what has happened. Head outside and tell Clarique what has happened to finish the quest; she will be by the Eagle's Brook Wayshrine.
