Teil 4: "All the Dead Corpses"
Today we are taking a look at a creepy vision of the Prophet, that was part of the main quest and sadly got lost somewhere in the sea of eventualities...
In the vision we enter a house: its all dark and blurred, we hear some screams in the distance and some parts of the house seem to have been on fire and it is still smoking.
Scattered on the floor we find the well known books 'Nutritiousness of Meat' and 'The Art of Crispy Meat' and the shelves are filled with raw meat.

Behind the counter of the shop, that we seem to be in, there are three burned corpses, that are all named: ("The Grey Karen", "Thoren" and the "Silver Blossom").

A staircase that is barricaded is leading up to the first floor and and another one leading down to a storage room in the basement. On our way down we stumble upon "Jagen" who is dead and sitting on a chair surrounded by strange spiddal sticks.

Down in the basement we find a hole in the wall through which we enter another room. There we find "Boreo" kneeling naked in a cage putting his hands up as if he was praying or pleading. He is surrounded by candles, skulls, food and four slighty creepy children that start to giggle from time to time.
- [+] The Basement
The vision seems to end at this point and we enter the house at a later time, probably to pursue the vision.
The shop turns out to be "Boreo's Book Blessing" is now full of (regular) books and free of corpses.

Our investigations are quickly stopped by a wall in the basement, that is blocking the hole from the vision. Using a pickaxe from the now accessible first floor, we are able to break through the wall and enter the room, where Boreo is dead in his cage.

Examining his corpse, we find a key and observe a few other things:
- [+] Observations
- English Translation: 'Boreo's body is emaciated, bloody and scratched. He must have harmed himself in his hunger. Furthermore the floor is covered in aspen leaves. Where might they come from?'
The hunger is pretty self-explanatory as there is food all around the cage, but out of reach for anyone inside. No idea what the meaning of the aspen leaves might be though. Probably something that is impossible to understand without some previous knowlegde that we don't have...
Taking the key triggers the quest 'A Song in the Silence' and you get the objective to visit Ketaron Dal'Geyss.
- [+] Speculations and a small spoiler regarding the mainquest
- Tbh I'm not entirely sure who Boreo actually is: the only Boreo in Enderal is "Boreo Oatbash" the third corpse of Jespar's scavenger hunt and child trafficker and murderer. On the one hand "Oatbash" is not really the name you would expect from an endralean book merchant, but on the other hand there are a few hints that indicate they might be the same person. First of all I find the scenario very reminiscent of the way the three corpses of the scavenger hunt are aligned and it would explain the laughing children around him (pretty fitting for a child abuser). I assume the character was just rewritten from a book merchant to a farmer(?) to fit the new scenario.
The fact that 'A Song in the Silence' starts when you pick up the key, is in my opinion rather a bug, as the numbering of the quests seems to have somehow changed between MQ11 and MQ13. The game probably tries to set the queststage of a quest that was replaced by 'a song in the silence' at some point.
I don't know where the key would fit, I guess it might have been for the trapdoor in the same room that leads nowhere.
Sadly I couldn't find any clue who all the other corpses in the house are or how you actually start the vision. The only trace i found is 'Jagen' on the stairs: He has the id _00E_MQ13_Victim03 and there us a cell called 'MQ13Victim03Home'. The cell only consists of a small hut where we find 'Dushak', who doesn't do anything, so it seems to be a dead end...
