Detailed Walkthrough

On the docks of Abah's Landing you will be greeted by a Khajiit called Bakhum who is in need of your help.

"You will talk to Bakhum? Oh, praise Alkosh! This one carries a heavy burden!"

Slow down. What can I do for you?

"This one is very worried! Bakhum's sister-in-law's uncle's cousin has been writing strange letters. So strange! Something about the "Maw of Lorkhaj." He is a monk, you see? At the Temple of Seven Riddles. Bakhum fears the worst. You will help, yes?"

Where is this temple?

"High in the mountains, to the south of Do'Krin. The rivers are shallow there, but this one has smuggled in shallower. Sailed I mean!

Bakhum would feel better if he brought some muscle along. You have eleven friends, yes? It will be worth your while!"

All right, I'll help you.

"Bright Moons! Bakhum is ready to set sail when you are walker."

You have the option to ask more about Bakhum's friend and the strange letters he has received.

Bakhum has found his relative

Travel to the Maw of Lorkhaj either by using the boat near Bakhum or via other means. When you have arrived, find Bakhum near his relative Takanradh, who appears to have fallen ill. Bakhum is heartbroken, and regrets bringing you here. He compensates you for your time.

"Oh, walker ... Bakhum did not expect this. This is no simple sickness—it's the work of dro-m'Athra. You must go! This one can hear Lorkhaj's song already. Can you hear it? The tapping?

This one is sorry for bringing you here. Flee while you can!"

This is your friend, right? Will he be all right?

"Taka? Bakhum thinks not. He does not trash and snarl like the others, but his eyes seem lost at sea, yes? This one will return him to his family. With time and good food ... who can say, eh?

Take this, friend, and may Baan Dar dust your tracks."

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.
