The source of the corruption

Torinaan is a holy site dedicated to the Divines. It's been corrupted by Daedra. The loyal clergy there want my aid in cleansing the area.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Cleanse the shrines.
2. Enter the central shrine and destroy the source of corruption.
3. Talk to Aldarch Colaste.

Detailed Walkthrough

As you approach Torinaan, you will see Aldarch Colaste casting a spell on a magical orange barrier. Daedra attacked Torinaan, a holy site, and the penitents "writhe with foul magics". Aldarch Colaste is trying to contain the daedric threat. She suspects the shrines themselves fuel the evil. She asks you to cleanse the shrines.

You can ask her how the daedric attack started, and while she is not sure, she does mention a visit from High Kinlady Estre.

Cleansing the Shrines

The four shrines are at the northwest, northeast, southeast, and southwest corners of Torinaan.

Magnus and Syrabane

At the southeast is the Shrine of Magnus and Syrabane. The shrine to Magnus is on the east, and the shrine to Syrabane is on the west side. Kill the enemies corrupting both the shrines, which will count as cleansing one of the four shrines.

Mara and Stendarr

To the northeast is the Shrine of Mara and Stendarr. Stendarr is on the west side, and Mara is on the east side. In Stendarr's area, light all four braziers as quickly as you can before the first one is extinguished. In Mara's area, light all the braziers as quickly as you can, the same as you did in Stendarr's area.

Trinimac and Xarxes

To the northwest is the Shrine of Trinimac and Xarxes. In the eastern room, you will find the letter Letter to an Aldarch and a Rod of Divine Flame on the corpse of a Shrine Monastic. Stand behind the lit brazier, look towards the altar and use the fire rod on the flames. This restores the shrine to Trinimac. Next, you need to go to the western room to restore the shrine of Xarxes. Use the fire rod on the lit brazier to the right to light the middle brazier. Then, stand behind the middle brazier and use the fire rod to light the altar.

Anu and Y'ffre

To the southwest is the Shrine of Anu and Y'ffre. First, go to the eastern room. You will find a letter, Brief Letter to an Aldarch, and a Chalice of Holy Waters on the corpse of a Shrine Monastic. Stand in the water and use the water chalice. This cleanses the shrine to Anu. Do the same thing in the western room to cleanse the shrine of Y'ffre.

The Center Shrine

High Kinlady Estre praying to Meruhnes Dagon

After you finish cleansing all four shrines, you will hear a voice tell you to cleanse the central shrine and end the Daedric corruption. Enter the shrine, and go to the right. You will see a Dremora and a Daedric gate. Defeat the Dremora, and the gate will disappear.

Aldarch Colaste calls you over. She says the Divines have more to tell to you. Follow her and witness a vision of Estre praying to the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. He gives her some of his power and tells her to corrupt the shrines in Torinaan, then move on to Firsthold.

Talk to Aldarch Colaste again. She says you need to stop Estre and gives you a reward.

Notes

• In an earlier version of the quest, the quest objective for the shrine in the eastern chamber of the Shrine to Anu and Y'ffre read: "Restore the Shrine to Auri-El".
• Despite Colaste making several mentions of corrupted priests that she contains within with her ward, no such people are found and only Daedra occupy the ruins.
• Walking back and forth in the area where the vision occurs causes the bright flash to occur again and again.

Bugs

• The objective marker will persist over the letter in the next to the dead priest in the shrines to Anu and Y'ffre even after having read it, as well as after having cleansed the shrines where the letter is located. ^?
• Your character performs the pouring animation twice when cleansing the shrine to Y'ffre. ^?

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
