| | Although this memory plays out entirely in the form of a cutscene, it has the same effects on Ravensthorpe as '[[Of All That Has Passed...]]' and [[The Forge and the Flame|similar]] memories that place Ravensthorpe in a different "state" from its default. Upon exiting this state and returning to normal, any incomplete Ravensthorpe memories such as '[[A Distorted Dream]]' will reset and re-add to the quest log, with Eivor's dialogue to initiate those memories replaying. |
