Detailed Walkthrough

You can pick up this quest from Archivist Bartalus north of the Disquiet Study, or accept it directly from Ysgild in front of the delve.

Ysgild's twin brother Vorm, an archivist for Hermaeus Mora, has managed to turn himself into a tomeshell. To help, you will need three books from around the Study. Once you are done speaking to Ysgild, Vorm will produce a map and float away into the Study. Take the map and follow him.

Once inside, the first book is in a chamber to the northwest. Fight your way through the shades and constructs to meet up with Ysgild. A wall of green fire blocks the path to her favorite adventure novel, The Curse of Blackscale Island, and to pass you'll need the rime shard Ysgild conjures for you. Pick it up then grab the book.

Head north to the second objective, Vorm's favorite science tome. Unfortunately it's missing some pages, which are scattered around the room in easy reach. Beware the

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.
