Lost Legends locations

This page lists some of the places that the book Lost Legends can be found. The book can be used to start the quest Forbidden Legend.

Locations

 * Katariah
 * The Emperor's room.


 * Cracked Tusk Keep
 * Cracked Tusk Vault, in the first room on the right.


 * Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary (Skyrim)
 * After completing the necessary initiation quest for the Dark Brotherhood, travel to and go through the Black Door to gain access to their inner sanctuary. Watch the right side of the path for a bookshelf that will contain a certain book laying on its back. Upon opening this book, you will begin the Forbidden Legend quest.


 * Cracked Tusk Keep
 * While doing the mission to acquire Mehrunes' Razor, you will travel here to acquire a piece of the dagger. Upon entering the Vault, there will be a room on your right that has spike bars preventing your entry. Look on the wall next to the door for a button to remove the bars. The book is on a bookshelf in the room.


 * Nightcaller Temple
 * There is a book on the bottom shelf of the podium in the very first chamber of the temple. It is unknown if you can access this without first starting the Waking Nighmare quest. In order to start this quest, simply go to the Inn in Dawnstar, watch the conversation between Erandur and the villagers, then talk to Erandur and offer to help him. He will guide you to the temple, which is on the hill overlooking the town.


 * Blue Palace
 * There is another copy of the Lost Legends book in Solitude. On the second level of the Blue Palace, there is a corridor leading away from the Jarl's greathall back and to the left; it terminates in Jarl Elisif's bedchamber (from which can be swiped a good amount of potions and ingredients if nobody's watching). All along this passage there are tables and bookcases with small food items and books. One of the books, either stacked on a bookshelf or laying on a table next to a plate and flagon, is Lost Legends. NOTE: Taking any of these items into your inventory constitutes stealing in full view of the Solitude guards. To avoid prosecution, you may want to simply pick up the book, read it, and place it back on the table or shelf where you found it.


 * Dragonsreach
 * There is a copy of Lost Legends in the library next to the Jarl's room.


 * The College of Winterhold
 * In the Arcanaeum, in the large library in the section the right of the room on a desk. (Next to Fall from Glory)
