Maxten Favrete is a powerful High Elf ice necromancer who can be found in Verglas Hollow. Here, she performs experiments with the bodies and people her assistant Zan'ikh brings her deep within the icy caverns.
But her story began a few years before when she arrived in Morthal, searching for avenues of power. Here she met the Jarl's daughter Freiwen and began a romantic relationship with her. However, her ritual at the Kjenstag Ruins went disastrously wrong and caused great suffering for the town and Freiwen. She fled to Verglas Hollow and attempted to revert Freiwen's curse, but eventually Maxten's need to advance her necromantic powers above all else led Freiwen to leave her.
Recently, members of the grounded ship The Silver Cormorant have fallen into her clutches.

Quest-Related EventsEdit
Of Ice and DeathEdit
When you enter the large hall in the Hollow just after finding Mamdahan, a disembodied voice will call out:
- Maxten Favrete: "You are not Zan'ikh … should I assume that you are here to kill me?"
- First Mate Drigsen: "That voice … it sends a chill through me. That must be Favrete."
You can then enter the Verglas Hollow Depths which is an icy tunnel filled with icles and numerous ice sculpture-like bodies, the voice will muse out loud:
- Maxten Favrete: "Perhaps I deserve death. I destroy as easily as I create. I taint that which I love."
After you find Qasnareen Maxten will continue with her speech:
- Maxten Favrete: "But fret not, your people serve a higher purpose now. I have given them life anew."
When you enter the tower, Maxten Favrete will talk to you again:
- Maxten Favrete: "I will not let my shame snuff out the power I have wrought. I must finish my work."
- First Mate Drigsen: "We must be getting close."
When you reach Maxten's laboratory, she will be in the middle of turning Captain Mavvok into one of her thralls.
As you enter, Mavokk will shout for help:
- Captain Mavvok: "Help me! Destroy the frozen dais, it's where she draws her power!"
- Maxten Favrete: "Behold the frost focus, the font of my creations!"
Some of the frozen skeleton thralls will break out of their ice and begin to attack you. As you fight she will begin ranting to no one in particular:
- Maxten Favrete: "Why do you refuse my gifts? Why does no one understand the beauty of what I offer?"
Once she's engaged in combat.[verification needed — see talk page]
- Maxten Favrete: "Brave, are we?
- <A giant thrall is woken up.>
- Maxten Favrete: "I give life where there was none! I breathe fire into frozen hearts!"
As she reaches death, Maxten will ask forgiveness from her beloved:
- Maxten Favrete: "Freiwen, forgive me!"
Long Journey HomeEdit
You will see illusions of her and Freiwen during Long Journey Home:
