Dialogue[edit]

Introduction[edit]

As I expected. Another resting place for the dead.

Sheogorath has a sick sense of humor.

What is this place?[edit]

This is the necropolis Asakala, the resting place of Prince Maleel. Also known as the Scythe of Yokuda.

The prince's underlings were clever. They crafted magical seals to guard his resting place.

And you know how to get past them?[edit]

observe the Yokudan statues. Each bears a crystal in the helm and a seal at the base.

The essences you see swirling around in the air here? Their energy can be used to unlock those keystones.

How do I capture them?[edit]

Here, I'll grant an aura that will allow you to capture the essences as they pass through you. Collect as many of the small ones as you can. They should unlock these scarab seals on the statues nearby.

I'll need to consider the other two.

I can do this.[edit]

This place is incredible. The ancient Redguards were a noble and accomplished people.

I still have some questions.[edit]

What can I tell you, Adept?

Can you tell me again about the essences?[edit]

Alik'r is under attack. A necromantic cult has distrubed the normal ebb and flow of life and death.

The dead that once served Maleel are now a way into his tomb.

How do I collect them?[edit]

You need only to be near them to collect them. My spell will keep the essence tired to you until you're ready to deposit it within the statue.

Just remember, you'll only be able to collect four at a time.

What were you saying about the statues?[edit]

Beneath the statues lie buried the dead Prince Maleel's armies. Their essences have bubbled up from beneath the sands, released by the dangers threatening Alik'r today.

So I'm imbuing the essences back into the statues?[edit]

Just so, Adept. The lesser essences you see before you will empower the statues with orange and green crystals, the statues near the entrance to this complex.

I need to consider how we'll empower those two rear statues.

How do you know all this, Arch-Mage?[edit]

What sort of Arch-mage would I be if I didn't?

I spent my mortal life seeking knowledge of all things, not just magic. Yokudan, or as you know them, Redguard, culture is no exception. If Valaste was here, I'm sure she could tell you the same.
