Faction: Mages Guild Quest giver: Hannibal Traven at the Imperial City Arcane University Prerequisites: Reward:

Background Information
Hannibal Traven gives you a task of leading a group of Battlemages preparing to storm some ruins to recover a Black Soul Gem.

Quest Details
Head to the south of Cyrodil, and arrive at Silorn. Meet the Battlemages there and speak to Thalfin. You are told to prepare the group to ambush the Necromancer's when they leave the ruins. You can position the 3 Battlemages either up close, or at distance. Each of the group have skills and will express whereabouts they are best used. Thafin is best at close range, as is Iver and Merete is best employed further back.

The Necromancer's will emerge and hell will break loose. If Falcar gets back into the ruins, your task is now to find and kill him. Head into the ruins, and make your way through the ruins. It's fairly large and mazy, and can be quite confusing. It's also full of Necromancer's, so be careful.

If you find yourself stuck, there is a hidden switch on a balcony up above that requires you to go a long way to get to. Once you find the switch, hit it and the gates on the bridge will open allowing you to get to Falcar. Falcar is pretty tough, but once he's defeated search his body and take the soul gem.

Head back to the University and give the gem to Traven.
