What Time Should You Talk to Jorn in Skyrim?
Talking to Jorn, the elusive Nord bard, in the Bards College of Solitude is a crucial part of the Skyrim quest line. However, you’re asked to do so after "dusk" without getting a clear understanding of the exact time frame. Let’s break it down in this article.
Jorn’s Request: Spreading the Word of Olaf
Before approaching Jorn, you should make sure you have retrieved the verse of King Olaf, as described in previous articles. Jorn expects you to read this verse aloud to spread the story of Olaf, setting the stage for further development in the story. Since this quest requires the ghostly Svaknir to open the sealed passage, you must prepare adequately for this event.
After Dusk, It’s Time to Speak Up
When asked by the game to talk to Jorn after dusk, this doesn’t imply it only takes place between 08:00 PM to 08:00 AM in-game time. Dusk, in the sense of Skyrim’s timing structure, can vary according to your game settings.
In particular, 24-hour settings treat dusk as falling between 4-8pm in-game time, typically between 3 and 6 hours before sunrise the next day. You don’t need to spend in-game days or engage in tedious activities waiting for hours; just navigate back in time using a strategy in your settings or modify time with the in-game Console.
Adjust Your Gaming Experience with Settings Options
For a better in-game experience, explore and explore your settings menu in Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls VI online community to determine a feasible setting that best represents in-game time:
| Setting name | In-game Description |
|---|---|
| 24 Hours/day | **Standard**. Your quest progresses with standard days based on your clock schedule without time changes. |
