Detailed Walkthrough

Talk to the Silvenar east of the Abamath Wayshrine. Wood Orcs, the Drublog, from Jathsogur captured him and his traveling companions. He asks you to rescue his advisors first since they can tell you more about the attack and help you free him. Some kind of powerful magic ensnares him. When you agree to help him he tells you their names: Raen and Sariel.

They are to the north in the northern longhouse. Talk to both of them. Sariel says the Drublog bound the Silvenar with a ritual book and giant crystals.

The Ritual of Unbinding is northeast of the longhouse, guarded by Orulu, an ogrim. Talk to Sariel about the book. She thinks you could reverse the ritual and give the Silvenar back his energy. You need to find the runestone, the conduit for the ritual. She thinks the runestone is at the other Daedric shrine.

The Runestone of Malacath is south of the Daedric altar where you found the ritual book. Another ogrim, Neechar, guards the runestone. Talk to Raen about it. He suggests you examine them in the southern longhouse, where you will be safe.

"I understand what needs to be done. Read the book. One of us must die to save the Silvenar."'

One of us must die? Why?

"Daedric rituals often come at such a cost. Obviously, I should be sacrificed. I'm the weakest of us."—Sariel

"It's a hard choice, but a simple one. It's my duty to die protecting the Silvenar. I failed once, so badly I can't fight anymore. The Silvenar needs advisors like Sariel."—Raen

Use the runestone on the ambassador you want to sacrifice, then talk to the other. You need to disrupt the binding stones in the towers surrounding the main building. Use the runestone, now a rune key, on the stones to sever their connection to the ritual. The survivor offers their totem spirit to help you. Sariel's spirit animal is a lion that heals you. Raen's is a bear.

You need to disrupt four stones. They are Essence, Magicka, Spirit and Memory.

After destroying the stones, enter the Silvenar's prison inside the fortress on the hill. Enter the Chieftain's Quarters and defeat Drauginas, the Silvenar's captor.

Follow the projection of the Silvenar down the ramp to the Silvenar. Talk to him. The binding stones severed his link to the Bosmer. He needs you to defend him while he regains his energy. Let him know when you are ready, and he surrounds himself in a blue bubble of magic while you defeat more Wood Orcs. Defeat four waves of enemies, then talk to the Silvenar.

The Silvenar opens a portal. Follow him through the portal. He will hurry to Silvenar as soon as his magicka returns.

Notes

• The captives won't exist in the northern longhouse before starting the quest.
• The ritual book and runestone won't exist before starting the quest or reaching the related objectives.
• The icon of the rune key depicts an actual physical iron key instead of something more akin to a magical rune.
• If Ambassador Sariel is spared, she will summon a Spectral Lion to aid you. If Raen is spared, he summons a Spectral Bear.
• The binding stones won't exist in the stronghold before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
• While performing the channel animation to destroy the binding stones, moving at all will stop the animation prematurely short while still completing the objective, unlike most animation cancels.
• While accessible beforehand, the Silvenar won't exist in the stronghold fort before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.

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.
