The Elder Scrolls IV: Knights of the Nine Hints

Vile Lair

  • 1 of 8: After this module is installed, you'll get a "Deepscorn Hollow" quest entry when you load a saved game or start a new game and reach the sewers area after the emperor is killed. I recommend you wait a while to install the module -- and don't start a new game with it installed -- though.
  • 2 of 8: You can fast-travel to Deepscorn Hollow at any time. It's way over at the SE end of the province, a ways SE of Leyawiin.
  • 3 of 8: Make this your active quest and then check the local area map for a quest arrow.
  • 4 of 8: Dive down in the water where the quest arrow is pointing and find the door that's inside a large hollow log.
  • 5 of 8: Once inside, surface and move forward until you get a journal entry, then look for Greywyn's Journal on a stool nearby.
  • 6 of 8: Read it to learn that you can buy upgrades from Rowley Eardwulf at the Wawnet Inn, which is a ways directly west of the Imperial City.
  • 7 of 8: If you have an early look around the various areas in the hollow, you'll see that there's not much to it until you see about those upgrades.
  • 8 of 8: Find Eardwulf inside Wawnet Inn and look through his merchant inventory to find several expensive upgrade options plus a *very* expensive bottle of Ichor of Sithis.
