Orthenir

Orthenir is a Bosmer and one of the last member of the Wooded Eye found in Rootwater Grove, Greenshade.
==Interactions==
===The Flooded Grove===
In order to prevent a Daedra invasion, three souls must be killed in the secret library of Hermaeus Mora. The Bosmer soul that needs to be killed escapes, and a replacement is required. The Vestige must either kill Saromir, or have Hermaeus Mora kill Orthenir. Either way, the spirit must then be defeated.

;The Flooded Grove
When first speaking with him:
"Please don't bother me. This warding spell is quite complex, and if I don't finish it soon, there will be nothing to stop the impending invasion."
:What invasion? "You see the spriggans and lurchers everywhere? They feel it. The coming invasion. Daedra. I am the last priest of the Wooded Eye. We were charged with protecting this grove, but the wards have failed. We have failed."
::What happened to the wards? "Intruders! Greedy for power. Broke the wards and attacked my fellow priests. I can't defend against the coming Daedric invasion alone. I need your help restoring the wardstones while I complete the warding spell, or Daedra will overrun this place."
:::Where are the wardstones? "They're on the high ground surrounding the grove. There are three of them. Please, hurry. We've not much time."
::::I'll see what I can do. "The wardstones surround the grove. They are powered by magicka."
:::::Who are you? "I'm a priest of the Wooded Eye. The last priest, from the look of things. Can't say I'm happy about it."
::::::How did this grove get here? "Get here? It's always been here. How to explain? It exists, but to most people it blends seamlessly into the forest. You can't see it, unless you are woven into the wards—or you figure out a way to break them."
::::::What will restoring the wards do? "It'll make this grove once again invisible to all except those who know where to look, or who are woven into the warding."
::::::Who were the intruders you mentioned? "Oof, them. One of them looked like he'd seen … livelier days. The other just looked shifty. Both Altmer, I think."
After restoring the wardstones:
"Too close! They nearly had us that time. The wards will keep the Daedra bound, for now, but I'm still not sure how they managed to break them. We need to investigate Ilmyris."
:Ilmyris? "Ah, yes. Perhaps I wasn't exactly forthright. This grove exists to conceal the Cradle of Ilmyris, a library of … secret knowledge. The Wooded Eye are its guardians. We serve the Woodland Man. You might know him as Herma-Mora."
::Herma-Mora? "Yes. A Daedric Prince. But the only reason the Daedra are bound here is to keep this place hidden. Ordinarily, they pose no threat. They broke their bonds when the intruders destroyed the wards, and now they threaten all of Greenshade!"
:::How do we re-bind them? "I do not know the mechanism myself. But Saromir—the caretaker of the Vault of Memories inside the Cradle of Ilmyris—he'd know. If he's still alive."
::::You serve a Daedric Prince? "Yeah, well, this crisis transcends religious differences, don't you think? I want to secure the grove, you don't want Greenshade to be destroyed. Binding the Daedra is good for both of us."
:::::How will binding the Daedra help secure the grove? "The spirits of Daedra supply magicka to the wards. It's all very complicated. The important thing is that you find Saromir and learn how to bind the Daedra permanently."
