Sinding in Falkreath Jail

Sinding, a Nord warrior, is a werewolf who was jailed for killing Lavinia, Mathies' and Indara Caerellia'south daughter in Falkreath. Speaking to him in the Falkreath Barracks begins the Daedric quest Sick Met By Moonlight.

When seen in the cell, Sinding wears nothing more than than a pair of ragged trousers.

If you choose to talk to him most the murder, somewhen he volition freely admit that he is a werewolf and mention that he sought to control the condition through means of a magical ring. Unfortunately, the ring is cursed by Hircine and causes Sinding to go berserk without alert. He'll ask you to have the band. If you agree, he will manus over the ring before he transforms and escapes from the jail. He mentions seeking a sanctuary where he won't be able to harm some other. Nigh the cease of the quest, you lot are given the option to either slay Sinding like Hircine asks, or spare his life.

Should he survive, Sinding tin can sometimes be institute outside of the grotto in werewolf class. He has been seen skulking effectually outside of the Honningbrew Meadery coming from Riverwood, and follows the trail westward until he gets back to Swollen Man's Grotto. He also may travel east from Bloated Man'south Grotto by Whiterun, through Riverwood, south to the gate of Helgen, so due west to Falkreath, walking through the Falkreath Barracks and entering the jail. Anybody is oblivious to the fact that there'due south a werewolf wandering around, though animals do attack him (wolves do not appear to be centrolineal with him, as they are with yous when you are in werewolf form). The reverse may also happen. He may instead be found in his jail cell at the Falkreath jail in werewolf form (possibly man course as well) and will travel to Bloated Man'due south Grotto, where he will wander dorsum and forth from the campfire to the small pond with the waterfall nearby. The people around him don't seem to react to him, though. He will, however, turn hostile to whatever enemies who engage in combat with you lot, or that you assail. Sinding'southward hostility is not affected by you existence in human or werewolf form.

The Cursed Ring [edit]

Speaking to Mathies about who killed his girl will reveal that Sinding used to work as a laborer: "Sinding. Came through as a laborer. Seemed like a decent man." He understandably has a deep hatred of Sinding, as he'll go along with: "He'due south stewing in the pit while we effigy out what to practice with him, if y'all've got the stomach to look at him. What could drive a human to practice something like this?" He'll also choke upward when telling you how Lavinia died: "She was... he ripped her apart. Like a sabre cat tears a deer. Nosotros barely found enough of her to bury." Upon ending chat with him he'll also say, "I merely don't sympathise what kind of a human does that."

Sinding will greet you by sadly remarking, "Come to gawk at the monster?" If y'all tell him that you heard he attacked a little daughter, he'll answer, "Believe me, information technology wasn't anything I ever intended to do. I just... lost control. I tried to tell them, but none of them believe me. Information technology'due south all on business relationship of this blasted ring." Asking him instead about why he is imprisoned hither will have him respond, "A piffling daughter is expressionless because of me." and proceed as if yous told him about the attack. Either way, you can ask him nigh the band, and he'll tell you, "This is the Band of Hircine. I was told information technology could let me command my transformations. Perhaps it used to. But I'll never know. Hircine didn't intendance for my taking it, and threw a curse on it. I put information technology on... and the changes just came to me. I could never guess when. It would exist at the worst times. Like... with the niggling girl." Further asking him what kind of transformation volition be replied with: "I don't suppose there's a point in keeping the cloak-and-dagger if I'm going to dice in here anyway. I'm sure you've heard of men who shift to beasts under the influence of the moons." He'll continue by confessing, "I am one of them. A werewolf. It'southward my secret, and my shame. That'due south why I wanted the ring... it was said to give men similar me command. At present I may look like a man, but I nonetheless experience the animal within of me, as strong as always." You can further printing him for more data:

"Why did this make y'all assail the girl?"

"I had only come into Falkreath. They needed some help working the mill, and I thought that would be something condom. Something I could exercise. When I saw the little daughter, I was simply... I could feel it coming on. I could sense of taste the... I needed to hunt. But this deplorable, limited torso wasn't meant for hunting. Slow. No claws. Weak, mashing teeth for chewing cud. I held in my rage as long as I could. But it boiled inside of me. She looked and then fragile. Helpless prey. And then... ... I feel terrible nigh what happened. About what I did. Information technology would probably be best for everyone if I only went away."

"Who is Hircine?"

"Do you not know the Daedric Lord of the Hunt? He revels in the chase, and too gave the 'gift' of lycanthropy to mortals. A powerful force, not to be crossed. As I learned also late."

"What will you do now?"

"I've been looking for a mode to appease Hircine. There is a certain fauna in these lands. Big, purple. It's said that Hircine will commune with whoever slays it. I tracked information technology into these wood, simply then had my... accident with the kid. I want to beg his forgiveness. Requite him dorsum the ring. Only while I'one thousand stuck in here, the fauna wanders free."

Lastly, you lot can offer to take the ring to Hircine. He'll exist surprised: "Oh my. You would do this for me? Hither, accept it. I don't want anything to do with this wretched thing anymore." He'll continue by telling you lot what to do: "Seek out the beast. He wanders these woods. Bring him down and... well, the Lord of the Hunt should smile on you. I wish yous luck, but should leave here while I still have my pare." He'll end with: "Should our paths cross once more, I will remember your kindness. Farewell." He'll and then transform into a werewolf and escape through the pinnacle of his prison cell.

The Volition of Hircine [edit]

Later you lot've hunted the White Stag and caused an aspect of Hircine to appear, Hircine will order you to hunt down Sinding, who is currently hiding in Swollen Man's Grotto, and rip the skin from his body. Hircine will besides tell yous to hurry, as there are other hunters in the grotto competing for his favor. If you lot pass up, proverb that he's washed y'all no wrong so you won't kill him, he'll respond that he does not want vengeance: "In that location is no retribution in the hunt. It is not vengeance I seek, but the blood course of a living hunt." Either mode you will have to get to Swollen Man's Grotto to either impale or relieve Sinding.

Upon arriving at the cave, you volition notice a gravely injured hunter, J'Kier. He'll tell you that his group of hunters was killed by fighting Sinding. He'll then die from his injuries. Go further into the cave and you'll find Sinding. Tell him that you've been told to kill him volition have him say, "And I would deserve it, wouldn't I? I can't stop you lot if that'southward what you want to do. Hircine is too powerful." Still, he'll continue, "Just if you lot spare me, I tin can be a powerful ally to you. And I would promise to never return to civilized life. I know now that I tin can't live amongst people." You can now choose to either impale or spare him.

"Now allow's deal with these other hunters."

To save Sinding, say that you volition spare his life. He'll exist grateful: "Thank the gods. Now let's deal with these other hunters. Nosotros hunt together!" A new group of hunters will appear and attack you lot two. Take care of them and go deeper into the grotto, helping Sinding clear the place of hunters. In one case they are no more, mention to Sinding that the final of the hunters is dead, and he'll give thanks you again: "Thanks for your help. I will brand my abode here, away from anyone I might hurt." He'll stay in werewolf form, wandering around Skyrim. If you encounter him again, he may tell you, "Never idea I'd run across you again."

On the other hand, if you wish to kill Sinding, tell him, "I cannot defy Hircine. Y'all accept to die." He'll accept your choice, saying, "So be it." before he runs towards the cave archway. Several hunters volition be waiting for him, but they are outmatched, and by the time you arrive at the scene many of them volition have been killed by Sinding. Kill him and activate his corpse to tear the skin as Hircine told you earlier. Hircine volition announced as an apparition of Sinding as a human to congratulate you lot, saying, "You've done well, hunter." Tell him that you did as he asked, and he'll reply, "And found my favor. That skin will serve you well, child. Look more closely at it. My glories shall protect yous from all this world'southward grievances." He'll end with "Good hunting." and disappear, leaving you lot with the artifact Savior's Hibernate.
