Walkthrough[edit]
Report back to Aela the Huntress. She will tell you that their Harbinger, Kodlak Whitemane has caught wind of what you have been up to with her. She will reiterate to tell him only what he asks and not elaborate on some of the points that he should not know about.
Head down into the Jorrvaskr Living Quarters. You will find him waiting for you. He knows what you have been up to. Your attempts to deflect are met with his frankness. He explains about how the Companions came to possess Lycanthropy. He will explain that to lift this curse, the companions need you to take the magic that transformed them by force. He will send you after the Glenmoril Witch in their Coven nearby the Bilegulch Mine found in Southwest Skyrim.
As you approach, expect to encounter a wild animal Skeever, Troll or Frostbite Spiders.
Inside, there are 4 tunnels. Each leads to a central chamber in the back of the area. Each of these have at least a Glenmoril Witch and possibly an additional enemy as well. You only need to kill and take the head of the first one. Still, to there is an optional objective to wipe out the coven.
As you enter the cave, look to the left. You will find a small enclave with a locked chest (novice level). Follow the passage to the right after that. You will find a Glenmoril Witch patrolling around the nearby fire. There is also a creature hiding off to the right with another to the West on the ledge opposite where you enter. You will find 4 tunnels here, two on the upper level and two on the ground level.
Head to the Northwest on the upper level. This will lead to a small chamber. You will find a leveled creature along with one of the Witches. Sneak in and pick off the creature and then take out the witch. Head up to the small campsite set up. Look inside the tent. In this portion of the cave you will find the skill book The Horror of Castle Xyr. You will find some Alchemy Ingredients as well.
Head to the Lower Western tunnel in the main chamber. This leads to a small room with one of the Witches inside it. There is nothing else in this room.
Head to the lower Northern tunnel. Here you have another single Witch to deal with. Take her out then head up to the back of the room. You will find a chest with items inside it. Check around the tent to find more Slaughterfish Eggs and Rock Warbler Eggs
Head to the upper level and head through the tunnel on the Northern side of the chamber. You will find a lower level animal and the final Witch. Move in and take them out. Head up the slope. Look around the raised area. This is where you find the Arcane Enchanter. You will also find A Tragedy in Black right next to it. Grab the book and you will be done with this cavern. Leave the cavern and fast travel back to Whiterun. Make your way back to Jorrvaskr
As you approach you will find there are a few corpses from the Silverhand who have assaulted Jorrvaskr. Head inside and you will find Kodlak Whitemane dead in the middle of the room with numerous Sliverhand corpses around him. Talk with Vilkas and the next mission will begin.
