This uncanny pocket realm of Oblivion is a nightmarish forest ruled by the mysterious Crow Mother. It’s like Tamriel, yet unlike—for the Daedra cannot create, only imitate, and their simulacra of mortal realms are always twisted and exaggerated.

Crow’s Wood Location

Crow’s Wood is a plane in Evergloom accessed by a portal disguised as a treasure chest.  The dungeon is inhabited by wolves, ghosts, wisps, and many crows from the Blackfeather Court.

Crow’s Wood is located east of Davon’s Watch along the shore in a small cave.

Crow’s Wood Quests

 

A Son’s Promise

As you enter Crow’s Wood you will find Telbaril Oran, a dark elf.  He tells you that his father is missing and that he is trying to stabilize the portal to Crow’s Wood.  He asks that you investigate an old house for clues to help find his father.

Decree of the Court

On the banister post outside the old house you will encounter Knave of Rooks, a crow claiming to be a member of the Blackfeather Court.  He says to pass safely you must pay a toll.  You have a choice to pay a toll of flesh by killing eight giant bats or pay a toll of silver by collecting four silver trinkets.

Completing A Son’s Promise

In the tower you will speak with the Crow Mother.  You must then decide how to handle the rest of the quest.  You can either tell Rulantaril Oran that he must stay, kill the Crow Mother, or kill them both.  Whichever you decide, your final objective is to return to Telbaril who rewards you with gold.

If you battle Rulantaril, he uses electrical attacks with large aoes.  He is easily defeated so long as you don’t stand in stupid.

Completing Decree of the Court

After collecting either the four silver trinkets or defeating eight giant bats, you will need to locate another crow named the Seneschal of Carrion.  He will then direct you to speak to the Duke of Crows to complete the quest and you will be rewarded with gold.

Completing this quest will reward you with the Blackfeather Court Whistle memento.
