Quest-Related Events

Leramil the Wise will have summoned you to investigate various locations around Tamriel visited by Torvesard who is trying to find the third Glyphic so he may free his Prince. After following up on the leads, you meet with Curate Gadayn in VVardenfell, who suggests visiting the nearby Holamayan Monastery for information about myths regarding the Good Daedra.

When you arrive at the monastery, you will find the entrance locked:

Curate Gadayn: "It's sealed. I suppose we could … knock?"

Leramil the Wise: "We have no time for this. I shall open a portal."

<Leramil begins to cast a spell, but halts when Abbot Andor Indoril appears out of thin air through the portal.>

Abbot Andor Indoril: "No need for that. The Golden Eye foretold your coming. Welcome."

Curate Gadayn: "The abbot! Forgive our intrusion and listen to what our friend has to say."

Speak with the Abbot to see if he will help:

"Greetings, champion. The Golden Eye, Hermaeus Mora himself, spoke to me in a dream. He told me you were coming here.
I am Andor Indoril. It is my honor to serve as abbot and historian of this monastery."

Hermaeus Mora speaks to you?

"Only this once, which is why I thought it best to listen. So long as you promise not to harm any monks nor remove any tomes without permission, you may explore the monastery freely.
What exactly do you seek here?"

We're looking into relics of Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala. A blade, a lamp, and a skein.

"I know of a few blades sacred to Boethiah, but I am unfamiliar with lamps or skeins. They are not among the relics commonly associated with our ancestral spirits. However, there are more secrets preserved here than any one scholar could ever uncover."

What do you recommend?

"The Holamayan Library, of course. We have many volumes found nowhere else.
Follow me, champion. We keep the main entrance sealed, since the more stringent Ordinators consider our brethren to be heretics. I assure you, they are not."

Lead the way.

You and your companions will then enter the portal to inside the monastery. When you arrive in the hall, Andor will comment:

Abbot Andor Indoril: "Ah. I just sent your friends to the library. It's down the stairs to your right."

Speaking with the abbot before heading to the library:

"Your companions went on ahead to the library. Our collection preserves many strange and ancient tomes. Perhaps one of them will serve to guide you along your way.
You will find it just down the eastern stairs."

Before you use the Echonir:

"Have you visited the library yet? If an answer to your questions is to be found, you will likely find it there."

While in the library, you will view a memory using the Echonir which leads you to having the ask the inhabitants about the location of the lost Shrine of Inevitable Secrets. You have the option of speaking with the Abbot about this:

"Ah. Judging by your quickened step and thoughtful expression, I'd say you found something useful in our library … and you are not quite sure what to make of it.
Answers are often more complicated than we hope."

Do you know where to find the Shrine of Inevitable Secrets?

"A lost shrine to Hermaeus Mora, is it not? I know the name, but nothing more. However, some of our monks are better versed in the lore of old Daedric cults than I am. Seek out Methas Ireth or Nias Othralas. Perhaps one of them can help."

Once you have learnt the location of the lost shrine, you can speak with the abbot before leaving for Anudnabia:

"I am pleased we were able to help you, stranger. Hermaeus Mora does not lightly involve mortal champions in his affairs. Your task must be urgent indeed.
I wish you success in your mission."
