Notes

• While the objective description states you need the fake mandate to access the keep, you are able to enter the keep unbothered without it before starting the quest, and even during the quest, while Revalator Lindafwe is posted by the gate.
• The forged mandate cannot be read in your quest items.
• The Insatiable and the trapped Revelator Lindafwe won't exist in its lair until reaching the related objective, despite being accessible beforehand.
• When talking to the wounded Justiciar Hyircil, he says the lair is down where "we keep the wine". However, Hyircil is an investigator of the Divine Prosecution, not part of the actual soldiers stationed and residing at the keep, unlike what the dialogue implies.
• Although reading Teraniel's books is shown in the quest HUD as a hint needed to progress the quest, it's not mandatory to do so as the sconces order can be completed by trial and error pretty easily.

Bugs

• The Light of Stendarr that you follow yourself has the follower icon above it. ^?
• While in The Gorge - Keep Cellar section of the cellar area, your cursor is no longer visible in the local map. ^?

•

Quest Stages

The Taste of Fear
Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
	Silurie gave me a fake mandate from the Proxy Queen that should get me inside the keep, but I must speak to Lindafwe who is controlling the Divine Prosecution's cordon, and distract her so Silurie can sneak inside. Objective: Distract Revelator Lindafwe
	I was able to distract Lindafwe long enough for Silurie to pass unnoticed and successfully passed myself off as an investigator sent by the Proxy Queen. Now I need to find Silurie and learn our next move. Objective: Talk to Silurie
	Silurie has something up her sleeve to help our search and instructed me to observe her technique. Objective: Watch Silurie's Spell
	Silurie's spell created two orbs of light. While Silurie follows one orb, I must follow the other and learn where it leads. Objective: Follow the Light of Stendarr
	Silurie's orb of light vanished into a solid wall. It may conceal a hidden room. I should check the candelabra and pedestal for a means to open it. Objective: Examine the Candelabra
	I found a hidden room in Cey-Tarn Keep containing signs some sort of ghastly ritual took place in here. This may be where the Daedra was summoned. I should look for clues to confirm my suspicions. Objective: Examine the Book Objective: Examine the Desiccated Corpse Objective: Examine the Smeared Footprints
	I found a book speaking of something called "The Insatiable" and signs that its summoning ritual was performed in the hidden room. Silurie will want to see this. I should find her in Cey'Tarn Keep's refectory, like she asked. Objective: Meet Silurie in the Refectory
	Silurie has been captured by Lindafwe, the Divine Prosecution officer I met at the gate, and another Altmer dressed in their uniform. He has beckoned me over to talk. Objective: Talk to Justiciar Hyircil
	Using the evidence I found, I have convinced Hyircil to allow Silurie to lead us on the hunt for the killer. Her trail is leading us to the keep's cellar. Objective: Explore the Cellar
	I must follow Silurie, Hyircil, and Lindafwe as we search for the Daedra in the cellar of Cey-Tarn Keep. Objective: Follow Silurie
	A monstrous Daedra appeared and snatched Lindafwe away through a portal! Silurie, Hyircil, and I must give chase through the opening before she is lost. Objective: Chase the Insatiable
	I arrived in a place that looks similar to the basement of Cey-Tarn Keep, yet twisted and wrong. Silurie and Hyircil have split up to search for Lindafwe, leaving me one final avenue to explore. Objective: Search the Side Passage
	Hyircil was injured in a fight with an unknown assailant. I should check on him and see if he can tell me more about what happened. Objective: Talk to Justiciar Hyircil
	Hyircil's attacker was the summoner of the Daedra stalking Cey-Tarn Keep, but that is a less pressing concern than saving Lindafwe before the Insatiable devours her. He told me Silurie followed them through the door to the wine cellar. I should too. Objective: Find Revelator Lindafwe
	The Insatiable is attempting to devour Lindafwe! I must defeat it to save her. Objective: Defeat the Insatiable and Save Revelator Lindafwe
	With Silurie's help, I defeated the Insatiable and saved Lindafwe. We should leave the lair and plan our next move. Objective: Meet Your Allies Outside the Lair
	The mage who summoned the hunger, Teraniel, escaped into a portal. Silurie asked me to chase Teraniel down while she goes back to rescue Hyircil. Objective: Pursue Teraniel
	When Lindafwe and I exited Teraniel's portal, it closed behind us, trapping Silurie and Hyircil in the Gorge. There must be some way to rescue them. Perhaps Lindafwe will have some ideas. Objective: Talk to Revelator Lindafwe
	Lindafwe believes finding Teraniel will be our best chance of rescuing her friends from the Gorge. As we talked about where to search in this familiar ruin, she felt a ripple of magicka coming from across the bridge before us. We should investigate. Objective: Find the Source of the Magicka Ripple
	I found an ancient Aldmer altar room, but no sign of Teraniel or a portal. I should speak to Lindafwe and see if she knows what we should be looking for. Objective: Talk to Revelator Lindafwe
	Objective: Reverse Teraniel's Attunement Ritual Objective Hint: Search for Clues Among Teraniel's Books
	I successfully undid Teraniel's spell and Lindafwe is creating an anchor of her own. Objective: Watch Lindafwe
	Lindafwe has opened a portal to the Gorge. I need to use it to find Silurie and Hyircil. Objective: Enter the Gorge
	Teraniel is conducting some dark ritual using Hyircil and Silurie as sacrifices. I must stop her and save them both. Objective: Save Silurie and Justiciar Hyircil
	Silurie and Hyircil are safe and Teraniel is dead. Now we must escape the Gorge before Lindafwe loses her grip on the portal. Objective: Escape the Gorge
Finishes quest	We are safe, the Insatiable is defeated, and the mage who summoned it is dead. I should speak to Silurie to see where we go from here. Objective: Talk to Silurie

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.
