Gathwen is a Bosmer who comes running for help around the Temple of the Mourning Springs. She and her master, Rurelion, were shipwrecked, and they came to the temple when they heard that the water never ran dry, reffering to the Mourning Stones. She asks the Vestige for help in saving her master Rurelion, who has been possessed by Uldor, an undead Maormer wizard when they were trying to escape.
