[edit] Quest information
[edit] Objectives
- Light the sacred altar. Lead the bear spirit into Bjora Marches to cleanse Jora's homestead.
- Accompany Bear on the mountain pilgramage to the shrine of the Bear Spirit.
- Defeat the Charr force surrounding the Shrine of the Bear Spirit.
- Receive the Ursan Blessing from the Shrine of the Bear Spirit.
- Use the bear spirit skill, Ursan Force, to break down the Charr barricades.
- Kill the Charr in Jora's homestead. 5 groups remaining.
- Receive Ursan Blessing from Egil.
[edit] Repeating the Quest
Having once completed this quest, it is possible to subsequently take massive shortcuts when repeating for your hero's handbook.
- Make sure that at least one of your party has Ursan Blessing equipped.
Repeat Route Map
- Leave from Longeye's Ledge. From here it is easy for one player to run to Jaga Moraine without causing any aggro in Bjora Marches, particularly if they use Ursan Force.
- Stay as close to the entrance/exit as possible while still claiming the bear shrine, in Hard Mode, you will probably aggro a group or two of enemies, but pull them back to the resurrection shrine before you attack and they can be dispatched safely. Return to the bear shrine when you have done so and wait for the bear spirit.
- When you are back in Bjora Marches, do not head East towards the objective, but go South towards the Mandragors (they will move out of your way if you wait), and then East, straight towards the most Southerly Barricade, which can be broken with Ursan Force.
- Head into the 'final' enclosure (marked with a flag) and kill the groups required to complete the mission.
[edit] Reward
- Norn Reputation Points
- First time: 1,000 (1,500 in hard mode)
- On repeat: 100 (150 in hard mode)
- 2,500 Experience

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Bear Spirit
- "Bear regards you gravely. If you are prepared to cleanse Jora's homestead of the Charr taint, then you must lead her into Bjora Marches"
- Accept: "The Charr are as good as dead. I will lead the way."
- Decline: "I need time to prepare."
- When asked about quest: "Dialogue the quest giver provides when asked about the quest while it is active."
[edit] Intermediate dialogue
Upon enterring Bjora Marches
- Egil Fireteller: "The Charr are formidable, but with Bear's blessing you will defeat them."
- Egil Fireteller: "Up these mountains, we will find a shrine that holds great power."
- <Character>: "How will this shrine help us defeat the Charr?"
- Egil Fireteller: "The shrine channels Bear's strength into those it deems worthy. Lead us there, and Bear shall bestow this blessing upon you for the coming fight."
Getting close to the shrine
- Egil Fireteller: "The shrine amplifies and focuses Bear's power. Stand your ground while I perform the blessing."
- <Character>: "Hold fast! The Charr are coming!"
After equipping Ursan Aura
- Egil Fireteller: "It is done. The spirit infuses you with Bear's power."
- Egil Fireteller: "Call forth Bear's strength! Unleash the beast within you and let its fury purge the Charr from these lands!"
- <Character>: "We will cleanse the land. No Charr shall escape our wrath."
- <Character>: "Clear the Charr from this camp! Leave none standing!"
[edit] Notes
- You have to clean the area of the Sacred Altar from the Spectral Vaettirs to be able to capture it. When taken, you will gain a morale boost and the Bear Spirit will appear. She will offer you the quest.
- If you walk then from Jaga Moraine to Bjora Marches, you will be teleported in the middle of the area and the quest can be done as usual.
- If you are in Hard mode and have to return to the outpost due to a partywide death penalty of 60%, you will be teleported back to the resurrection shrine where Jarnskeggi stands instead, and all death penalty will be removed.
- If you bring Ursan Blessing in your skill bar, you can use it instead of Ursan Aura, therefore there's no need to get the blessing from the bear's shrine
- This quest (and all primary repeatable Eye of the North quests) may also be obtained from the Scrying Pool in the Hall of Monuments after completing it once.
