Bloodmoon talk:The Mead Hall Massacre

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

You will notice I put references to the Skaal Test of Strength, becouse I verified, and the meadhall is actually only atacked during this quest. If we don't say it on the quest page, people may think that the quest is availiable at all times, and become confused when they can't start it. --Max Welrod 21:45, 8 February 2009 (EST)

[edit] Severed Arm/Severed Nord Leg

The "severed arm" from Beowulf mentioned in the notes is presumably referring to Grendel's severed arm. Grendel does not use this as a weapon--he has it ripped off by Beowulf. As such, it seems doubtful that the Severed Nord Leg is any kind of direct reference, though I do see all the other immediate parallels to Beowulf (which have to be either references or strong subconscious parallels). I don't want to take it out, as I've never edited anything on the site before and because there might be a stronger connection that I am unaware of, being unfamiliar with the quest, but I wanted to call attention to it.
