Quest-Related Events

Inside the Stormwarden Sanctuary, you'll find Cirnean along with the other Stormwardens:

"You don't look like one of those tree-cutter Sea Vipers. I'll assume that means you can be trusted.
Is Mariel safe? Is help coming?"

Mariel sent me with the sky-key.

"At last, some good news! Z'en willing, Firras'll pay for his treachery. But we have more pressing concerns at the moment.
The enemy is at our gate and knocking most vigorously."

Who is Firras?

"Once, we called him stormwarden. Now, he's nothing more than a petulant child.
He demanded we use the sphere for selfish purposes. He even spoke of turning against the Thalmor! We refused and cast him out, but before he gave away his sky-key."

What can I do to help?

"The sphere is waning. If it isn't recharged soon, our defenses will fall.
We have a source of power available in the storm atronachs. Their thunderstones should be enough to maintain the sphere. We'd be in your debt if you could obtain some."

Where can I find the storm atronachs?

"Through the door and down the hall. They gather throughout the ruins when the sphere is active.
Once you have the thunderstones, look for two receptacles in the great hall. That's where we drain power into the Sphere of Storms."

Then what?

"Run! We'll use the extra power to seal these ruins completely. If you don't get out quickly, you'll be stuck with us until the invasion is over.
Tell Mariel we'll send for her when the doors reopen."

If you speak to her again, she'll add:

"The storm atronachs congregate whenever the sphere is active for more than a few hours. How fortuitous they carry the thunderstones we need."

What will you do about Firras?

"He believes the Sea Vipers are his allies, now that he's turned over his sky-key to them. Ha!
Firras will pay for his crimes, and the punishment will be swift and terrible. The storm is not a forgiving master."

What are the stormwardens?

"We're the last scraps of an ancient order. Once these spheres were throughout the Ayleid realms, across all coasts this side of Cyrodiil.
The Ayleid are no more, but we've persevered. Time, like the storm, waits for neither man nor mer."

What is the Sphere of Storms?

"It is an ancient artifact created by the Ayleid. They used it to protect their shores, water their crops, and speed their ships.
There were once dozens of them, but we know only of one. We guard it with our lives."

After you placed the thunderstones in the receptacles, if you return to her:

"By storm and wind, we shan't let them pass. The future of the Dominion is in our hands. We will fight until the last one falls!"

Notes

• Cirnean and the other Stormwardens will remain in the sanctuary which will be inaccessible after you leave the chamber.
