To the north is another room with bookshelves and a table, and a passage leading west to a wooden door. To the west is a room with several bookshelves, numerous books (most ruined or burned), and another table with random loot. The door straight ahead (north) is barred. In the first room down the stairs, aside from Silver Hand members, there is an end table and regular table with loot on and within them. Upon arrival at the refuge, the Dragonborn must dispose of the three Silver Hand members guarding the exterior, then head inside.ĭriftshade Refuge contains multiple hostile Silver Hand members, so the Dragonborn can take advantage of Vilkas as a follower and kill the opposition one by one.
Note that he will replace any existing follower, and it is not possible to share things with him, so he cannot be used to help carry things if the Dragonborn is overencumbered. With no questions asked, he will then act as a follower all the way to the Silver Hand hideout at Driftshade Refuge, a small fort southeast of Dawnstar. Vilkas wants the Dragonborn to travel with him to attack the Silver Hand, retrieve the fragments of Wuuthrad, and avenge the death of Kodlak.Īfter the death of Kodlak Whitemane, Vilkas will seek revenge. The Silver Hand have attacked Jorrvaskr and Kodlak was killed in the fighting. Vilkas has come with me to avenge the death of Kodlak by wiping out the Silver Hand.
