The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
The Cold Flame of Agnon
1 of 10: Now you need to go to Cylarne (location 53 on the world map) and light some old flame that's gone out.
2 of 10: When you arrive at Cylarne, enter the ruins to get a journal entry suggesting you talk to the commanders of the golden saint and dark seducer factions who are fighting over this place.
3 of 10: Looking around, you'll notice that there are two locked gates across from each other. One is guarded by a golden saint named Chuna, and the other is guarded by a dark seducer named Vika.
4 of 10: The deal here is that the Altar of Despair needs to be relit in order for you to get what you need here in Cylarne, but the golden saints can't relight it because it's currently held by the dark seducers, and the seducers won't relight it until you help them kill off the golden saints.
5 of 10: So you're going to need to choose sides and come up with a good battle plan. Hints for helping each side are below.
6 of 10: After the Altar of Despair is lit, return to the surface ruins and follow your quest arrow.
7 of 10: You'll find a flame burning in the north alcove that's between the golden saint and dark seducer camps.
8 of 10: Simply walk right on into the flame to get lit up. That sounds dumb, but it's what you need to do (and it doesn't even hurt).
9 of 10: Fast-travel to either the Bliss or Crucible district in New Sheoth, then find the door to the Sacellum Arden-Sul, the temple that straddles both districts.
10 of 10: Inside, talk to both Arctus and Dervenin to learn that you need to choose which side of the Mania/Dementia split to light the fire on.
