The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Mystery of the Dwarves

  • 1 of 10: Artorius is in the Mages Guild in the Foreign Quarter Plaza in Vivec. Talk to him about "duties" to get his quests.
  • 2 of 10: The first quest is a real doozy. You're supposed to solve a mystery that has baffled generations.
  • 3 of 10: But all you really need are three particular books and someone smart enough to translate and interpret them.
  • 4 of 10: The books are "Hanging Gardens," "The Egg of Time," and "Divine Metaphysics."
  • 5 of 10: You'll get them during the course of the last three of Edwinna Elbert's Quests. Finish her quests before reading any more hints for this quest. (Or if you don't intend to ever do her quests, then skim through the quest information to learn where the books are.)
  • 6 of 10: Once you have the books, you need to take them to someone who can figure out what they're all about. Trebonius certainly isn't going to have a clue.
  • 7 of 10: The most obvious "person" to go see is Yagrum Bagarn, the only surviving dwarf. He's in the Corprusarium Bowels region under Tel Fyr (location 4 on the Tel Aruhn map).
  • 8 of 10: Talk to him about "Disappearance of the Dwarves" and "Egg of Time" to get the info you need.
  • 9 of 10: As an alternative, you could visit Baladas Demnevanni in Arvs-Drelen in the town of Gnisis and talk to him about "Disappearance of the Dwarves" and "Divine Metaphysics."
  • 10 of 10: Either way, return to Trebonius and talk to him about "Disappearance of the Dwarves" to finish the quest.
