Ferul Ravel

Ferul Ravel is a Dunmer savant who is a devout worshiper of the Daedric prince Sheogorath, and can be found with his fellow worshipers at the Shrine of Sheogorath. Chew some fat with Ferul to find out what Sheogorath favors.

Ravel wears white mage's robes, iron boots and a fur helmet. Also, he carries around an iron dagger and a small amount of gold.

Similar to the other worshipers, Ferul has given up all common sense and sanity to please the Madgod. He is, however, the one who knows how to approach the shrine and will greet you like this: "Place? Not place? Here. Not here? Welcome to the Grove of Madness, stranger. Or go away. Who knows? Time will tell." If you ask him about the shrine, he will tell you a story: "Killed and ate a Bosmer there. But it made me sick. Saw Lord Sheogorath in the vomitus, so that's all right. Here to sacrifice? A limb would be nice." Should you choose to stop the conversation, he will say: "Then you should run along. Fly, fly! Take off, now. Scat! Make tracks. Get going. Run for your life. And have a nice day!"

If you tell him you want to speak to Sheogorath, his answer changes, depending on whether it is raining or not. If you ask him in bright sunshine, he will say: "Then approach the shrine. Of course, he won't appear. Because it's not raining. He loves the rain." If you ask him while it is raining, he will say "Then approach the shrine. He might appear. Because it's raining. He loves the rain. Because it's wet. Or because it's rainy. Not so sure." In both cases, he will tell you which offerings you should bring: "And you'll need an offering. I think a lesser soul gem, a head of lettuce, and some yarn will do the trick. Yes. That's what Sheogorath wants."

After you have spoken with Sheogorath, he will be overwhelmed with joy: "You've spoken to the Madgod. Joy of joys! Are you elated? Excited? Aroused? Blessed are you. Blessed is he!" And after you have given the small settlement of Border Watch a taste of Sheogorath’s madness and have received your reward, he will congratulate you in his own special way: "You've pleased the Madgod! You must be proud of yourself. I, for one, still would like to eat your eyes. But, good for you!" When you finish the conversation, his last words will be: "Drunk with madness. Madness for all!"
