===Song of Awakening===
"Leave this island, if you know what's good for you. Only nightmares hold sway at Skald's Retreat."
:What's going on here? A woman named Engling told me to speak with you. "Oblivion take that girl! She sang a song to end us all. What you're seeing in the sky is Quagmire. Vaermina's Daedric realm. Skald's Retreat now straddles the wall between worlds."
::So how can we undo this? "Now you're talking. A song cast this spell. Another song could undo it. My best bet: one of the old songs of the Companions. Say, the Song of Sinmur."
:::Sinmur? Like the giant? "Aye. You'll have to learn the lyrics and tune from other bards on the island. Don't worry, you won't have to perform. Meet me at the manorhouse when you're ready."
::::I'll learn the song, Odana. "Learn what you can from Sinmur's song. Just know, the skalds may not recognize you for who you are. Some of the dreamers aren't as aware as I."
:::::Can you answer some questions? "I'll answer truthfully, my new friend. Whatever you wish to ask."
::::::Why can't you teach me the song? "I only know of the song, I don't know how to perform it. My apologies. There are many songs sung at the retreat. To know them all would take three lifetimes."
::::::Why did Engling cause this? "I think the Queen got to her. Engling pulled something from the lore vaults. Dusted it off, set it to a tune she heard in a dream. A nightmare, more like. Vaermina's hand at work in the world!"
::::::How do you know we're touching Quagmire? "I don't know if you've seen them yet, friend, but nightmares stalk the island. The sky, the smells, the sounds ... they scream out the name of the Queen of Nightmares."
:::::::Why do you look like that? And why aren't you affected like Engling? "We're asleep. What you see in front of you is my dream-self. As for why I'm unaffected ... I don't know. I'm skeptical by nature. Perhaps what the Queen is selling just isn't enough to make me bite."
(After learning the tune)
"You're learned the tune, yes? Now we can move on to planning the performance."
:Yes. I've learned the Song of Sinmur. "We'll sing songs of you yet, my friend! Now you just need to convince the only other person awake on the island. His name is Maraamur. And he's an idiot."
::An idiot? "Sorry, that's not fair. He's actually a drunk. He's upstairs. Keeps squealing like a stuck skeever when I try to talk to him. I'm sure you'll be able to convince him."
:::I'll do what I can.
