Walkthrough
Talk to Hannibal
Start by approaching and talking with the Arch-Mage, Hannibal Traven. He’ll explain things are going very poorly with the council. You can begin the quest, “The Bloodworm Helm” by asking him about the Bloodworm Helm. He will explain that a group of Mages led by Irlav Jarol took the Helm to Fort Teleman.
Reach Fort Teleman




Location of Fort Teleman
You need to travel down to the Blackwood within County Leyawiin. This Fort is found to the South of the Panther River’s Southern branch. It’s only a short distance East of Atatar.
Travel to the Fort and get inside the Ruins. Inside the Ruins, look for the stairs on the Northern side. There are some Undead araound here to deal with. The entrance to the Fort itself sits just to the right of the stairs going up higher into the ruins of the Fort.
Confront Irlav Jarol – Fort Teleman

Inside Fort Teleman, you will not find the same occurrence as with Fort Ontus. There is a pair of Necromancers here who will immediately begin attacking you. Defeat them and turn to the North, going through the open double-doors.
Be careful as you go around the next corner because there is another Necromancer patrolling here. Take the stairs to the East down. This will lead into a big chamber.
Just inside the chamber, to the left, is the lower section of it. On your side, you can see another Necromancer patrolling. On the opposite side of the pit is a second Necromancer who will be moving around. Defeat them and get across to the Northern part of the room. On the Northern side of the room, head through the door in the center of the wall.
Go down the corridor and around the corner. Be mindful with this corner since there’s likely another Necromancer there. But also look to the Northern wall to find a Chest sitting there to loot. Head to the West after that into the next chamber.
This is a larger burial chamber you will want to search. Hop off the stairs to the West and look to the North to find a Chest sitting against the wall. There’s a chest to the right of the rubble along the Southern wall. A Locked Chest (Average) sits against the Southeastern pillar in the center of the room.
After searching around, head for the Southeastern corner of the room for the door leading out. This will bring you into the next section of the Fort: Order of the Black Rose.
Fort Teleman Order of the Black Rose
Move carefully since a Necromancer is patrolling this Corridor. Just past them is likely an Atronach. Defeat them both and continue down the Corridor. This leads into a chamber.
In this first chamber, you will want to start by dealing with the Daedra scattered about. Pick them off.
Head for the South. Look to the West to find a doorway leading to stairsthat take you upwards. Open the door on your path. Just through there, in front of you, is a Locked Chest (Hard) and another unlocked Chest just to its right you can open. Continue to the end of the hallway to find a Locked Door that leads directly back into Fort Teleman. This door is locked and requires the Fort Teleman Key to open.
Head back the stairs and go for the opening in the Wall to the East. Follow this tunnel carefully and its turn to the South. There’s a Daedroth (or variant of) patrolling at the base. This will lead you into a Cave. There’s likely a pair of Clannfears to the West, patrolling around. Head to the West and around the corner to the South (Left).



The location of Irlav Jarol's body
Go along the cave and down the slope to the East. There’s more Clannfear along its base. This brings you into a second cavern with a lower section in the middle. A form of Atronach (Likely Storm) stands over your target, the body of Irlav Jarol. Defeat it and get to Jarol’s body.
Investigate the body and you will be able to claim “The Bloodworm Helm.” With that in hand, just make your way back out of the Fort’s two sections.
Return to Hannibal Traven
Once back outside, you can easily Fast Travel back to the Arcane Academy. Go into the Arch-Mage’s Tower and talk with Hannibal Traven once again. He’ll ask if you recovered the Helm. Talk to him about the “Bloodworm Helm” to turn it over. Traven mourns the loss of Irlav
