The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints

Obelisk Note

  • By the time you finish this quest, the following three obelisks will be active:

    * Near Cylarne (location 53)
    * On the big island west of Inlet Camp (location 12)
    * South of Xedilian (location 14)

    NOTE: On those last two, you may arrive to find that the priest is there, but the obelisk isn't active. If the priest doesn't ever activate the thing, it'll be impossible to shut it down or kill the priest. (They may be active if you come back after doing the "Rebuilding the Gatekeeper" main quest.)
