The Misuses of Knowledge

I have found the notes of a mage named Mercano from Woodhearth in the depths of an Ayleid ruin where the Veiled Heritants were raising undead.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Mercano in Woodhearth.

Detailed Walkthrough

In Naril Nagaia, you find Mercano's Journal. It is in the final large area in the delve next to the blue crystal.

"<This appears to be a journal written by a young mage named Mercano.>"

<Read the first entry.>

"<The journal tells the story of how Mercano sought a cure for his wife's illness. He records the details of his experiments in raising the dead. Clearly, the Veiled Heritance used this journal to aid their own experiments.>"

<Skip to the last entry.>

"<In the last entry, the young mage states his intention to start a new life in Woodhearth, after his wife's death.>"

<Take the journal.>

Mercano is inside the Thalmor Headquarters in Woodhearth. You will have to tell him how his notes were being used.

"I've served the Thalmor for almost twenty years now, as an advisor in the matter of healing arts."

I found your notes. The Veiled Heritance was using them to create liches.

"The Veiled Heritance were using my notes? No. What have I done?
I was young and foolish when I wrote these notes. I just wanted to save my wife from a consuming plague. I should've destroyed them then. I will destroy them now. Thank you."

He will then give you a small reward for your work.

Notes

• While the initial objective description states the Veiled Heritance in the ruins were raising undead, no raised undead are found inside. The only undead present being the leader of the Heritants.

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.
