Find the Rumour

Once you've become a Werewolf during the main quest, it is possible to discover a cure which will cure you permanently. The first step in this quest is to find the rumour to get you started. I found a note (Odd Rumour) lying beside Basks-In-The-Sun down at the Fort Frostmoth docks (it might be found elsewhere). The note mentions that a large black Raven has been seen at the Altar of Thrond and may be a sign that the Witches have come to the Island.

Altar of Thrond

The Altar is found outside roughly in the center of the Island, North of the start of the Harstaad River and Isinfier Plains. When you read the note the location should be marked on your World map. The Altar is a small circle of stones you you should spot a large raven standing in the entrance of it. The Raven will speak to you as you approach it and offer you the choice to either keep or cure your Lycanthropy (this is most likely your only choice, so choose wisely).

Road to the Cure

Once you choose to cure yourself of Lycanthropy, you are teleported into a Gloomy Cave with the Glenmoril Witches. The Witches will tell you what to start with for the Rite of the Wolf Giver as you approach them. Fallaise will tell you your first task, that of finding some petals of the rare Wolfsbane Flower. The flower grows in only one place on the Island, the top of Hvitkald Peak. The peak is a ways to the West of the cave and altar and should be marked on your map (though the flower location is just West of that mark). You may need to use the levitation potion the witches gave you in order to reach the peak as the slope is quite steep.

Belladonna Berries

Return the flower to Fallaise who will then tell you to speak to Isobel. Isobel will simply tell you to acquire a single bunch of ripened Belladonna Berries. The Berries are relatively common and can typically be found on Spriggans. Return the berry to Isobel who will direct you to Ettiene. Ettiene will tell you to meet her at the Altar of the Thrond for the next steps.

Innocent Sacrifice

Back at the Altar, Ettiene will tell you to kill the innocent Nord on the altar and take her heart. Since there seems to be no way around this, do what she asks and give the heart to Ettiene. Ettiene will perform a short ceremony on the Heart and give you back the Heart of the Wolf which you are to place back into the corpse of the innocent Nord (ewww). Now, if you did what I did first and disposed of the corpse, you will be stuck and have to reload...so don't dispose of the corpse when you first get the heart. Once the heart is placed back into the corpse you'll receive a journal entry.

End of the Curse

Speak to Ettiene at the altar again and she'll tell you that you have to kill the new Werewolf you just created by giving the innocent Nord the Heart of the Wolf. The corpse on the altar will turn into a Werewolf and attack you...so kill it. Once you kill it and speak to Ettiene again she will tell you that you've been cured...permanently. You will not be able to become a Werewolf again after this.
