Detailed Walkthrough

The Sigil Stone

As you approach Edrald Estate Manor, a Breton man will run up and call to you for help. It is necessary to take the path to the manor. The Breton does not come down to the main road.

Speak to him to learn that his name is Federic Seychelle, and he is engaged to Arlie Edrald whose parents own this estate. Federic has been away making wedding preparations, but since he returned, he has not been able to locate his fiancé or her family.

Offer to help, and start by checking the Edrald Manor. As you look around, Federic will make comments. Eventually, you will find the journal of Krisandra Edrald, Arlie's mother, upstairs in her room. The journal expresses concern over the relationship between Arlie and the servant, Dulkhi. Next, go back downstairs and outside to the nearby servant's quarters. Search the building to find Dulkhi's Diary on her bed. The diary suggests that Dulkhi and Arlie had a tryst. It also mentions that they saw Krisandra hide something in the windmill. Head across the estate to the western windmill. You can search several locations both upstairs and downstairs. You can recover 3 irrelevant items plus the key to the Edrald Undercroft. You can also find the first volume of Krisandra's journals, in which she expresses distress over the possibility that Dulkhi might ruin the planned marriage between Federic and her daughter. Question Federic to learn that Arlie's grandmother was a powerful mage and that Krisandra locked the undercroft once she passed away.

Take the key back to the manor and downstairs to the basement. Unlock the trapdoor to enter the undercroft. There you will see a ritual site and 3 nearby basins along with a desk. You can also find the last of Krisandra's journals, which reveals that in her desperation she made a pact with daedric forces. A further search of the desk uncovers a ritual book detailing the process of opening a daedric portal. Use the clues in the book and Federic's comments to interact with the 3 nearby basins in the correct order — Fire, Earth, Water. Each time you interact with a basin, it will "attune" the portal site, creating a visual effect there. If you make a mistake, simply start over with Fire. Once you use the basins in order, a portal to the Deadlands will open up. Go through it.

Upon entering the Deadlands, Federic will cry out and run to Arlie who is sitting on the ground nearby. Dulkhi is also there. Arlie will tell you that Daedra emerged from the basement portal during the night and captured the family. She and Dulkhi managed to fight them off and escape, but her mother and father are still out there. She begs you to find them and says to take Dulkhi with you as she needs to have a moment alone with Federic. Dulkhi will become a follower.

Allan Edrald can be found by heading southeast onto a penninsula while Krisandra is on the southern portion of the largest island. Both are held to the ground by multiple spectral skeleton hands. You can rescue them in either order, but you will need to fight Daedric Scamps and Dremora to reach them. When freed, they will limp back to join their daughter and Federic. Whichever one you save last will also direct you to the next task—to destroy the Sigil Stone connecting their basement to the Deadlands. The stone is being guarded by a Dremora named Velark on the raised structure nearby. Kill Velark and destroy the Sigil Stone, which will instantly transport you back to the now portal-less undercroft.

Nearby, you will see Allan sitting on the ground and Federic bent over him. Speak to Federic who wants advice about what to do next. You can tell him to stay and be happy on the estate or leave to help people and learn to defend his loved ones. Similarly, Dulkhi wants to talk to you about her options after she noticed how much Arlie cares for Federic. She is on the ground floor of the manor, sweeping. You can tell her to go out into the world to make a name for herself or stay with Arlie. Either way, you will need to speak with Arlie next. She is outside, in front of the manor, reprimanding her mother. Speak to her to receive her gratitude for saving her loved ones' lives and your quest reward.

A brief scene will follow in which Federic, Dulkhi, or both will come outside and converse with Arlie and the baroness. The dialogue will vary depending on your earlier choices about who should go and who should stay at the estate. After the closing dialogue, if one or both decided to leave, they will walk to the edge of the property and disappear. The rest of the characters will remain on the estate and can be spoken to one last time to hear their feelings on how everything panned out.

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.
