Wyress Jehanne

Wyress Jehanne is a member of the Beldama Wyrd who has come to investigate the situation at Deleyn's Mill together with Olyna and Helene.

Wyress Helene directs you to her if you've approached the village from Daggerfall where she is keeping villagers safe in the mill. Although she is initially distrusting of you she quickly warms up after you save Wyress Olyna and the few remaining villagers from the fire and corrupted creatures.

She then tasks you with purifying the Wyrd Tree's roots by killing creatures. Then she, along with the other wyresses, transport all the villagers along the roots to safety at the Vale of the Guardians.

Quest-Related Events

Ash and Reprieve

When you enter inside the building, she will say "You're not one of the villagers?^{[verification needed — not in the lang file]}" before you speak to her:

"Who are you to nonchalantly walk through flames and forest? You smell of the city of stone.
Have you come to cleave our forest? Rip up our soil? Haven't the spirits already been enraged enough by your kind?"

I'm only here to help.

"So you say. My sisters and I serve the Beldama Wyrd. We have a duty to uphold. You? I don't know your true intentions.
Still, we could use the help of someone who isn't quite as attached to the forest as we are. You might prove useful, after all."

What do you need me to do?

"My sister Olyna is still out there, probably trapped somewhere between the fires and the enraged forest creatures.
The fires burn, our sister is missing, and the villagers are dying. Something needs to be done."

I'll deal with the fires and save anyone who's still alive.

"Get everyone back here and we can keep them safe. For a while. In the meantime, we'll work on what to do next.
And make sure you put those fires out. This building won't provide much protection if it burns to the ground."

Who are you? Do you live in Deleyn's Mill?

"We are the witches of the Wyrd. We serve the Wyrd Tree and the forest is our home. If this was Breton against Breton, we would not get involved.
But something unnatural caused this. The forest has been wounded and that concerns the Beldama Wyrd."

You still came to help.

"We stand apart, but we aren't heartless. No one deserves to die for something they haven't done."

Do you know why the forest has become so hostile?

"Isn't it obvious? The people of the city of stone caused this. They have no regard for the natural world.
Nature only bends so far before it begins to suffer. Then it reasserts itself. Nature always prevails. That's why the vines appeared."

What vines?

"The vines! They started appearing weeks ago, bursting through the soil and spreading throughout Glenumbra. We've never seen such vines before, and even the Wyrd Tree was engulfed by the strange growths.
Whatever's happening, no one is safe."

Once you return to her:

"Perhaps I was too quick to pass judgment on you.
These people, including my sister Olyna, owe you their lives."

I did what I could.

"The remaining fires should burn out soon. You did what you could, but the forest's rage has ravaged this village.
It's terrible, for sure, but a small part of me is thankful that these saws won't operate again."

The Wyrd Tree's Roots

If you exit out of the previous conversation before you move onto the next stage of the quest, she will say "There's one last thing we need you to do."

"My sisters and I should be able to open a path to safety, but we'll need your help again to make this work."

If you've also completed Turning of the Trees, you can ask about the next quest:

What do I need to do?

"We can travel along the roots of the Wyrd Tree. That's how we were able to get here so quickly. But there's some kind of corruption in the soil and now that path is blocked to us.
The roots need to be nourished with pure energy."

Where do we get pure energy?

"Nothing is more pure than life itself. We can use the life force of the creatures to nourish the roots of the Wyrd Tree.
Kill one of the creatures near each root. Their life essences should provide the power we need to get the villagers out of here."

I'll take care of it.

"Look for the roots of the Wyrd around the mill.
Remember that those creatures must give up their lives near the roots or the roots won't absorb their life essences. Any creature you kill away from a root is a life extinguished for no reason."

Tell me more about the Wyrd Tree's magic.

"The Wyrd Tree sustains us. From its roots, we draw strength. From its leaves, we find comfort.
Its roots stretch through all of Nirn and thus its power touches everything."

Once you return:

"We were able to get all the villages through the portal. They're safe in our camp for now."

Anything else you need from me?

"I should return to our camp and help protect the villagers. My sisters will continue to look into the madness that occurred here. Perhaps you could help them, if you have an interest.
You have earned my respect, stone-dweller. Thank you."

This completes the quest and she will direct to another of her sisters.

"Speak to Helene. There are still questions that require answers."

At their camp in the Vale of the Guardians, she says:

"This camp may not be what the survivors from the mill are used to, but it will have to do."
