I think Ominis (and Sebastian too, for that matter) would absolutely become the sort of father who does everything in his power to keep boys like themselves away from their daughters.
Just thinking about middle-aged Ominis striding through town in a beautifully tailored suit, elegantly carrying his cane, thrills me to no end.
And of course, his cane absolutely has to be a concealed wand cane like Lucius Malfoy’s.

Of course I adore perfectly romantic smut that feels like a film scene, but personally, I think the sexiest first-time situations are the ones that are a little clumsy and awkward, yet full of love and tenderness.🤤
I don't know why I made them and I'm not entirely sure I like how they turned out, but here's some character banners, feel free to use them if you want 🪶
I’ve always wanted to draw a genderbend AU of my ships.
A Slytherin bad girl × Hufflepuff good boy romance sounds genuinely fun, and a chaotic romcom with a Labrador-retriever sunshine boy and an ice-queen grumpy girl would be hilarious too.
Ok, my previous post about cut content did better than I was expecting! So I think that's a sign for me to share more Hogwarts Legacy cut content I’ve found. And boy! I’ve been bursting at the seams wanting to talk about some of this stuff for more than a year! Let’s go!
I’ll start today with all things related to the Dale family because that’s some of the more ‘complete’ cut content I’ve found. We’ll start with just a funny little tidbit and then we’ll delve into the real mystery!
Ilse Dale
Ok, so I present to you, Ilse Dale, President of The Glacius Art Society!
It’s unclear exactly how Ilse Dale is related to Samantha Dale, but I think from the last name it’s obvious he’s somewhere in the family tree. But let’s examine what this Glacius Art Society is!
In the SQL files I found some traces of what they call a ‘World Event’ or WE called ‘Ice Garden’. Other World Events are, for exemple, all the dead NPCs we find in the Highlands, some with notes on them to explain their death. Anyway, it looks like this Ice Garden thing would have been some ice statues we would have been able to find throughout the Highlands, left there as a very… questionable form of wizarding art!
Here is a letter from Ilse Dale himself, explaining everything (the text for the note can be found in the ‘SUB-enUS’ file, in the Localization folder. This file contains all the subtitles for all dialogue in game and also the text for the notes/letters we find, including some notes that are actually not present in the final version of the game):
Dear Mr Spitz,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding our most prestigious organisation. The Glacius Art Society, TGAS, is indeed still taking members and a successful application will be contingent upon the appraisal of an art installation of your making and in keeping with TGAS’s vision.
As you are of course aware, TGAS is not just any wizarding art association, but one that finds beauty and meaning in the temporary freezing of dangerous beasts, caught in their most fearsome states. Any application made to TGAS should be in keeping with this consideration.
We look forward to reviewing your submission and remind you to take care when practising your art, as subjects often tend to thaw out more quickly than one might expect.
Kind regards,
Ilse Dale
President of The Glacius Art Society
And it looks like Mr Spitz isn’t the only one that sent a submission for the society because we find 5 reviews (likely attached to ice statues, though I haven’t been able to find any trace of those assets) for different works of… art?
"Note_IceGarden_Review1": "A playful rebellion against mortality by newcomer to wizarding art circles, Benedictus Dijon, whose work is gaining a reputation for its exploration of magical permanence and preservation."
"Note_IceGarden_Review2": "Elisabet Fargan’s thought-provoking piece is a perfect metaphor for the sensitivities of the half-blood existence, and a fascinating contribution to the fraught discourse surrounding blood purity that plagues contemporary wizarding society."
"Note_IceGarden_Review3": "No sculpture comes closer to examining the magical condition than this masterpiece by president of the Glacius Art Society, Ilse Dale, whose eye for the frozen form is, quite frankly, beyond compare."
"Note_IceGarden_Review4": "Mira Hornbal’s perceptive installation serves as a thrilling exploration into the dual role of magic as an instrument of both beauty and brutality – a bold reminder of our responsibility as the most enlightened of species."
"Note_IceGarden_Review5": "This stark artistic debut by fledgeling witch Jadelyn Oakney holds up a mirror to the wizarding world’s ugliest truths – a brave, bold decision by the new Hogwarts alumnus and member of Gryffindor house."
(I even checked and the content of these cut notes was translated into French so this must have been cut quite late if they took the trouble of translating it)
Personally, I love this and I’m so sad it got cut! This is exactly the sort of little thing that expends what we know of the wizarding world (new wizarding world art form!) and also highlights the chilling supremacy and contempt for other magical species that permeates the wizarding world culture. It mixes whimsy and humour with a pretty chilling dark side and that perfectly embodies the wizarding world imo.
And it looks like the whole story did take an even darker turn at the end as I find some UE Blueprints and animation files that hint at a wizard being crushed and a dead NPC to loot (perhaps this sad fate befell Mr Spitz himself and we find the note from Ilse Dale in his pocket).
Anyway, that whole thing was only marginally related to the Dale family, it just a bit of fun, but let’s dig into the real stuff now!
Marmaduke Dale's journal
As you all know, we have one quest given to us by Samantha Dale.
A quick recap: Samantha was doing some research on her ancestor, Marmaduke Dale. Marmaduke was a famed herbologist who had greatly advanced the field of herbology and potion-making. He discovered the properties of several magical plants and uncovered numerous types of flora. However, in her research, Samantha discovered that his tomb had been cursed by his older brother, Granum Dale.
Granum was jealous of the attention his brother was getting as a prodigy in herbology. And, to add insult to injury, after their mother died, Marmaduke was given the prized family crest. Granum felt this crest should have gone to him, as the eldest child. So, several years after their mother’s death, when Marmaduke died, Granum stole the family crest and cursed the tomb so that none in the Dale family could ever come pay their respects. Hence, the tomb had been abandoned for centuries.
Samantha told her brother William all she had discovered but he did not believe her and laughed in her face. To prove her wrong, he went into the tomb and, right as he passed the entrance,… his feet turned into beets!
Since the curse starts with the crest that was stolen from Marmaduke, Samantha believes that if the crest was returned to it’s rightful place on Marmaduke’s sarcophagus, the curse will be broken and her brother will get his feet back. Somewhat dubious reasoning if you ask me but sure.
Samantha happens to have the Dale family crest with her (even though I thought it had been stolen by Granum… I guess Marmaduke’s descendants got the crest back at some point) and she asks the MC to go into the tomb to return the crest since she can’t go into the tomb herself without being cursed.
After that, the quest is pretty straightforward, we go into the tomb, find the opened sarcophagus at the end, return the crest and the the curse is lifted. The only noteworthy thing in that quest is that the MC runs into the Riparian Troll inside the tomb.
And that seems to be the end of what we learn about Marmaduke Dale. Unless… it looks like they worked on a second quest centered around Marmaduke Dale’s story!
This second quest has a different 3 letter code (code LFM, instead of the code TTR for the beet feet curse quest with Samantha) and we can find several traces of it throughout the game files.
From what I can parse out, during this quest we would have found several Orbs and Orb seeds. Activating these seed orbs would have done something to a ‘Bramblehenge’ tree and it’s branches. I googled the word 'bramblehenge' and it gives me nothing. Might be a magical tree specie they made up. Interesting that they used the word 'henge' in there.
There is also a "RevelioRock" somewhere that is linked to a texture showing the Dale family crest (the one we placed back on Marmaduke Dale’s sarcophagus). All of this would have probably lead to an old study of Marmaduke’s.
We can find assets in the game files for the Bramblehenge Tree (+ branches).
There are also textures for the Orbs (called HerbologistOrb) but no 3D meshes. To see what the orbs would have looked like, we have to turn to released concept art, showing the orbs and what was probably the desk in Marmaduke Dale’s study.
And we also find a description text for the Orbs (in the MAIN-enUS file):
"Quest_LFM_Orb_desc": "A medieval seed pod constructed by legendary Herbologist Marmaduke Dale"
But, more interesting than all of that, there were also several excerpts from Marmaduke’s journal to be found. I haven’t been able to find the full text of these journal excerpts but, from the text describing the journal pages (in the MAIN-enUS file), we know the exact dates of each of the exerpts:
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_01": "Marmaduke Dale's First Journal entry",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_01_desc": "An excerpt from Marmaduke Dale's personal journal, dated May 7, 1388",
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_02": "Marmaduke Dale's Second Journal entry",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_02_desc": "An excerpt from Marmaduke Dale's personal journal, dated June 22, 1388",
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_03": "Marmaduke Dale's Third Journal entry",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_03_desc": "An excerpt from Marmaduke Dale's personal journal, dated October 9, 1388",
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_04": "Marmaduke Dale's Fourth Journal entry",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_04_desc": "An excerpt from Marmaduke Dale's personal journal, dated December 22, 1388",
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_05": "Marmaduke Dale's Fifth Journal entry",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_05_desc": "An excerpt from Marmaduke Dale's personal journal, dated Feb 28th 1389"
"QUEST_LFM_JOURNALPAGE_06": "Esoterica Herbacea Title Page",
"Quest_LFM_JournalPage_06_desc": "The title page of Marmaduke Dale's Herbology textbook"
And from a data table in the SQL file, we learn a little bit more about possible content of these notes:
As far as I can tell, these words (ynogh, pees, plantes, suspecioun, woodnesse and cleernesse) are all middle english or old french, both fitting the time period of 1388 and 1389 when the journal was written.
I’m not an expert in old languages but some internet research tells me that:
Ynogh means enough in middle english
Pees means peace in middle english
Plantes is french for plants (as far as I can tell, it was the same word in old french as well)
Suspecioun is a bit more difficult but it’s apparently a known old french variation for sospeçon, meaning suspicion (which is identical in french and english)
Woodnesse is middle english for madness
For Cleernesse I can’t find an exact equivalent but there is the middle english word ‘clernesse’ meaning brightness or shininess. It could also mean clear-sightedness or perspicacity but also things like magnificence, beauty, glory or even paying off debts.
Anyway, if we read between the lines, this could tell an interesting story of going from a peaceful state of studying plants, to getting suspicious of something or someone, to falling into madness to finally come to a revelation of some sort. I guess we’ll never know the full story :(
It also looks like, after completing this quest, we would have gotten as a reward a Herbology book, described as:
"QUEST_LFM_HERBOLOGY_BOOK": "Esoterica Herbacea",
"Quest_LFM_Herbology_Book_desc": "A tome of ancient Herbological knowledge, thought to be lost for centuries. It was written by the legendary medieval Herbologist Marmaduke Dale, ancestor of Samantha Dale."
And now I’m super curious about Esoteric Herbology knowledge!
That's all I've been able to find about the Dale family and their history. Digging for cut content is exciting for the potential to unearth some new information about this game I've been obsessing about for 2 years now, but there's also some level of frustration because it's hard to get a full picture about what any of those cut questlines or lore details would have been... And it's very unlikely that they will ever bring them back for sequels or other games.
Nevertheless, one thing I take away from all this cut content is that the devs of the game were not short on ideas for interesting stories to tell in this world, which makes me hopeful for anything we might see in the future!
