Once inside the Temple, Loktar took a good look at the destroyed room. He could see a shrine of Mara on the left side wall and he started to search the place around when suddenly two skeevers that apparently inhabited the hall near the back jumped on him. After killing the animals, Loktar spotted a chest on the right side of the large carving on the back wall, he went there and used on of his lockpicks to open it, inside it he found 82 septims, a dwarven mace. While the orc looted the chest, Erandur started to work some magic to unlock the carving that blocked the path, after a few seconds the wall turned purple and revealed a doorway.

Loktar made his way through the opening and followed Erandur to the balcony overlooking the tower's inner sanctum. The inner sanctum contained some strange item protected with a red barrier, the Skull of Corruption, one of Vaermina's artifacts. Erandur explained that the Skull  gained the ability to reach out to people without being wielded and it was stealing memories. He informed the orc that The Skull must be destroyed in order for the nightmares to stop.

Loktar followed the dunmer down the stairs, where they met two Orcish Invaders at the bottom. Quickly, the orc drawed his twin scimitars and put a end to the orcs lives before they could attackhim or the priest. After confronting them, they continued the path and were surprised, or at least Loktar was surprised, to find the way ahead blocked by a force field. Erandur, then, started to explain that there may be a way of opening it, but he would have to search for the answer in an alchemy book located in the locked Library upstairs, which luckily, he had the key. Suspecting of the Priest, Loktar commanded him to stop lying and tell the truth. Reluctantly, Erandur explained that he was himself a Priest of Vaermina and that was the reason he had the key, when the Orcs attacked, he had fled leaving his companions to their deaths, and in his shame over this, he turned to following Mara.
