Malacath of the House of Troubles
  • 1 of 7: Tholer Saryoni is in a locked room in the High Fane building in Vivec's Temple area. You can get a key by talking to Endryn Llethan about "duties" after finishing all of his quests and achieving the rank of Diviner.
  • 2 of 7: Use the key to unlock the door in High Fane, then talk to Saryoni about duties.
  • 3 of 7: Your first four quests will be under the label of "Pilgrimage to the Four Corners." I've made them into four separate quest questions because you have to do them in order and report back to Saryoni after each one (and they're each given separate quest entries in the game's journal).
  • 4 of 7: The first one takes you to the Malacath Statue at location 15 on the Dagon Fel map. Take a boat to the Dagon Fel village and then head west and a bit south to get to the statue, which is by itself outdoors. (By itself and four heavily-armored orcs, that is.)
  • 5 of 7: However, before you go to the statue, you'll need to obtain four Daedra's Hearts. Those are potion ingredients, which can be gotten from slain Daedra or a good alchemy shop.
  • 6 of 7: Some shops that might have them are:

        Nalcarya of White Haven in Balmora
        Anis Seloth in Sadrith Mora
        Gils Drelas in Therana's Chamber in Tel Branora's Upper Tower
        Craetia Jullalian in Vivec's Mages Guild
  • 7 of 7: Once you've got four of the hearts, go activate the statue to receive the blessing (Fortify Strength) and complete the pilgrimage. Report back to Saryoni to get the next one.
