Detailed Walkthrough

Duties

Once you've reached the rank of Wizard, Skink-in-Tree's-Shade in the Wolverine Hall Mage's Guild wants you to get an Ash Ghoul soul for him to research. He gives you a pair of grand soul gems and a pair of Scrolls of Fphyggi's Gem-Feeder for your task, and suggests checking in Yakin, a Sixth House cavern northwest of Tel Aruhn, just west of Sadrith Mora on the mainland coast.

Soul of an Ash Ghoul

The Ash Ghoul is a tough opponent that has a long nose and casts spells. Be sure you cast a Soultrap spell or use the scrolls Skink gave you in order to capture the soul, otherwise you might be searching a long while for another Ghoul to trap.

Once the soul is trapped, return to Skink to be rewarded with the usual increase in Disposition. If you only used one of the given soul gems, you get to keep the other. However, you must use a grand soul gem; you can't trap an Ash Ghoul in any smaller soul gem.

Notes

• You can permanently lose Azura's Star if it has the soul of an Ash Ghoul. Even if you also have a grand soul gem that has the soul of an Ash Ghoul, Skink will take Azura's Star instead. He will not have Azura's Star in his inventory after he takes it, so you can't get it back by killing or pickpocketing him.

10		Skink-in-Tree's-Shade asked me to get the soul of an Ash Ghoul. Skink told me the nearest Ash Ghoul was in Yakin, but any Ash Ghoul will do. Yakin is on the mainland just northwest of Tel Aruhn. From Tel Aruhn, I just need to swim or fly across one island and then continue northwest.
