"I could move on to Aetherius or I could remain in Tamriel. See what became of the land after the Alessians were defeated."

I found a dusty old scroll beside an ancient Ayleid coffer in the vault beneath Dresan Keep.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Read the Scroll.
2. Talk to the Ayleid Spirit.
3. Destroy the binding artifacts.
4. Talk to the Ayleid spirit.

Detailed Walkthrough

Ayleid Encounter

Activate the scroll on the floor inside the first cell on the left of Dresan Keep. Now read the scroll then open the Ayleid Coffer right in front of it. Talk to the Ayleid Ghost and you'll find out you can't understand it. Go across the hall and open the reliquary then talk to the spirit again. He tells you his brothers bound him here and now you need to destroy the binding artifacts. Leave the room and go east, go into both cells you pass and destroy their artifacts, defeat the Ancient Warriors that appear. Now go to the last cell and do the same thing. Go back and talk to the ghost, he asks you if he should move on to Aetherius or remain in Tamriel, after you pick he gives you your reward.

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.
