With the Civil War, dragons, and rampant banditry, there is no shortage of heart-breaking events in Skyrim. The constant fighting that plagues your life as an adventurer might be dampening your spi🌄rits. It might be a relief for you to know that there is a chance to mend hearts instead of breaking them if you visit the Temple of Mara in Riften.
As the Goddess of Love and Marriage, Mara w🔜ants yearning hearts to be satisfied and troubled romances to be mended. You can act as her agent, ensuring that her divine will is carried out within the mortal world.
Starting The Book Of Love
The quest starts at the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Temple of Mara in Riften. You will need to speak to a priestess, Dinya Balu, about receiving a blessing from Mara. She tells you that the blessing is only given to people that have helped Mara in the mortal realm.
You will be able to provide that help by following up on Dinya's visions, which lead to lover💫s in need 🍸of divine intervention. She receives her first one, sending you to Ivarstead.
Young Love In Ivarstead
Mara needs you to help Fastred, a young lady who is in love with Bassanius, a fisherman at the town. Her father, Jofthor, will not allow their romance to flourish, believing that her feelings are not real, having seen her infatuated with Klimmek not long ago. He does not want her to leave Ivarstead either. Her mother, Boti, is much more accepting and promises to shield the couple from her father.
Klimmek is the same man who will reward you for bringing supplies up to High Hrothgar, something that is best done alongside the quest the Way of the Voice.
You will have two choices, encourage Klimmek or tell Bassanius that Boti will shield them. As Mara's representative here, you decide the final outcome.

The couple will quickly leave for Riften together. |

Encourage Klimmek |
Klimmek will have the courage to confess his feelings for Fastred. The two of them become a couple and stay in Ivarstead. |
With either love protected, you return to the Temple of Mara and get your next request from Dinya.
Love In the Stone City
Your next person in need is none other than Calcelmo, as unpleasant as he is brilliant. He finds himself in love with Faleen, a housecarl at the Understone Keep. He is so overwhelmed by her that he cannot express his thoughts when near her.
Faleen and Yngvar may be located outside Markarth based on your decisions and progress around the Civil War and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the quest Season Unending.
He asks you to find Yngvar the Singer, a talented musician that easily sways the hearts of women. The bard tells you that Faleen has a fondness for poetry and for the low price of 200 gold, he will write a poem to make her heart melt. You must pay him.
Bring the poem too Faleen who will be so touched by the act that she writes a letter to Calcelmo and asks you to give it to him. The old researcher will be overjoyed and rush to Faleen where they confess their feelings to each other.
Once again, you will have to return to Dinya for the final request.
Love Beyond Death
Dinya will congratulate you and receive the next vision, sending you to the area around Rorikstead where you must reunite two long-dead lovers. While this task is typically impossible and morally gray, you are given an Amulet of Mara to give you the divine blessing necessary to do the Goddess' work.
The first lover, Ruki, is at Gjukar's Monument. She has been searching for Fenrig, her lover, but has not been able to find his body among the many bodies at the site. The quest marker will update, guiding you directly to him at a short distance away.
Fenrig had not perished at the battle itself, making it impossible for Ruki to find his body. After a short conversation, he will follow you. Bring him back to Gjukar's Monument.
There is no need to walk back; you can fast travel instead.
The two of them will be happily reunited and rise up into the sky. Your tasks are now complete, and you can return to the temple for a final time.
Completing The Book Of Love
With your end of the bargain held up, Dinya will make you an Agent of Mara, providing you with a blessing from the Goddess. You are also allowed to keep the Amulet of Mara for yourself.
Agent of Mara is a permanent buff that gives you 15 percent more Magic Resistance
The Amulet of Mara makes Restoration spells ten percent cheaper to cast.
