Rescue a stranded researcher from deep within an ancient ruin. Zone: Grahtwood Objective: Root Sunder Ruins — Discover the fate of Root Sunder. Quest Giver: Sirdor Location(s): Root Sunder Ruins Concurrent Quest: If the Dead Could Talk Reward: Token of Root Sunder High Leveled Gold XP Gain: High

A researcher named Sirdor is trapped in the ruins of Root Sunder.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Sirdor.
2. Find him in the lower hall.
3. Read his journal.
4. Use the Attunement Stone on the Welkynd stones.

Detailed Walkthrough

Upon entering Root Sunder Ruins, speak to the projection of an Altmer a few paces in. Sirdor explains he's trapped in a lower chamber. The door is blocked, so he's using Welkynd stones to project himself throughout the ruins in search of help.

Head through the ruins until you find a chamber with large Welkynd stones. On the west side of the room is the door Sirdor mentioned. Descend into the lower chamber. Follow the passage west to another chamber with a massive, hollowed-out tree stump in the middle. You'll find Sirdor in the stump — or what's left of him. He's already dead. As soon as you near him, a mysterious voice will start speaking to you, saying that he's been dead for some time and they used his image to lure you here.

Sirdor's Journal is on the ground next to him. Read it to gain some background information on the ruins, as well as a way to reverse what the Ayleids did to drive the jungle mad. Pick up the Attunement Stone nearby and the Guardian of Root Sunder will attack you. Defeat it, then head back up to the main level. The voice will continue to speak as you travel, getting increasingly antagonistic. It is the jungle itself, whispering threats.

Once in the room with the Welkynd stones, activate the three stones around the edge of the circular platform. This will attune them. Then, activate the central stone and, in a brilliant flash, Root Sunder will be freed. Speak to its manifestation, the sparkling green light above the central stone.

It will apologize for threatening you and give you the Token of Root Sunder, a memento. Now all the creatures within the ruins (not including bosses) will be neutral, only attacking in self-defense.

Notes

• Defeating the Guardian of Root Sunder is not required to progress the quest, as it is not marked with an objective marker. It simply serves as an obstacle on your path.

Bugs

• The creatures will become Hostile again after logging off and back on again. ^?

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.
