Note: Since the zones are so large and fairly easy to navigate, this page will only cover the highlights. All the levels are connected by teleport zones, not doors. Most of the monsters listed are disabled and won't appear unless you trip a trigger zone.

Zone 1: Order's Crypt

It's likely you won't come here until you do the quest The Crypt; in this case, you'll need to find some grave fennel. It's located in a closed sarcophagus in the room in the western part of the zone, on the highest level.

Treasures: 1 random scroll by a dead skeleton; gold sack; some superior healing potions

Monsters: Armored skeletons (Note: Most of these won't appear unless you trip a trigger zone.)

Zone 1a: Order's Crypt

This is a small area consisting of two rooms that serves as Pelagius' lab. The workroom itself has several tables crowded with alchemical equipment; niches in the walls hold rows of books, potions, and apparatus. Three small spiders roam this area. A false cabinet leads to the second room, which is empty except for a few treasures on plinths: a ceremonial skull, a death coin, a daedric skin potion, and a trio of divine healing potions.

Zone 2: Order's Crypt

Treasures: 2 random scrolls, two spell scrolls, various potions, gold sack

Monsters: Armored skeletons

Zone 3: Order's Crypt

This is another small area, consisting of one large room in a cross shape. Each arm of the cross has a gargoyle statue on a pedestal; each is guarded by a dart trap, but you need to approach them to answer riddles for the quest Soul Eaves.

Treasures: Various potions.

Monsters: None

Zone 4: Order's Crypt

If you're doing the quest A Letter From the Deep, the "lyrical text" you're looking for is on this level, in a tomb in the south central part of the level - it's in a closed sarcophagus next to a skeleton. Also of note is one of the Order's treasures, Torn's Sword, which is located behind a secret panel, which is opened by lighting the brazier nearby.

Treasures: Various scrolls and potions, an empty grand soul gem.

Monsters: Armored skeletons, cursed warriors

Zone 5: Order's Crypt

This level is devoid of life (undead or otherwise), but has plenty of loot for those so inclined to look.

Treasures: Various scrolls and potions, a flawless sapphire, a grand soul gem.

Monsters: None

Zone 6: Order's Crypt

This is the level where Erk's skull can be found (see A Knight in the Dark). It's in the easternmost room, sitting on a high pedestal. You can also find the Two-Faced Statuette here - it's in an alcove in the west wall of the southernmost room.

Treasures: Various scrolls and potions, two empty grand soul gems.

Monsters: Armored skeletons, ghouls, lich.

Zone 6a: Order's Crypt

Treasures: Two Order of the Dragon Elixirs, Tiarg's Helm of Life.

Monsters: Armored skeletons, skeleton archers

Zone 7: Order's Crypt

This level has both the shrine (The Crypt, Soul Eaves) and the Order treasury (A Knight in the Dark.)

Treasures: Three Order of the Dragon Elixirs.

Monsters: None
