Detailed Walkthrough

When you arrive at Heimlyn Keep, you will be met with disaster. There are cursed civilians everywhere. A distressed Telvanni mage by the name of Beron is tending to one of them. Speaking with him reveals that the Covenant attacked the keep, thinking it was a military outpost. They were wrong: Heimlyn Keep is a Telvanni complex devoted to tending to an ancient reliquary full of dangerous relics. The Covenant managed to get into the reliquary and smash a particularly awful relic, which unleashed the spellplague that now ravages the keep. Beron Telvanni has run low on the potions that he's using to help the cursed civilians in his care. He asks you to collect Tainted Hearts from the corpses that litter the complex, and to harvest Spectral Essences from the spirits that the curse has released.

You can collect spectral essence by killing the spirits around Heimlyn Keep. The corpses of those taken by the curse can be found everywhere, though there's usually a nix-hound or two not far from where each body is located. Once you have the components, find Beron's wife, Merarii. She will thank you for the ingredients, and tell you to blend them in the Daedric urn on the table nearby. The urn will allow the ingredients to form properly to create what is known as an Etheric Totem, which will be useful in your next assignment. Blend the components and speak with Merarii.

Merarii says there are still civilians hiding in houses, protected by wards held by some of her remaining assistants. She wants you to use the Totem to shield the civilians so they can run to safety without fear of being afflicted by the spellplague. She also informs you that one of the Covenant soldiers managed to hide in one of the towers. She wants you to check on that soldier after you've aided the civilians.

The civilians are located in buildings located all across the keep. Reassure the fearful citizens and send them on their way after administering the protection of the Etheric Totem. Make your way to the tower the Covenant soldier is supposedly located, and climb the ladder to the tower's battlement. The Covenant soldier up top seems remorseful. She tells you that her superior smashed the relic that released the curse, and promises not to cause trouble. Release her from the tower and return to Merarii for a sum of gold and to learn the next steps in resolving the spellplague crisis.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
