Elder Scroll (Dragon)

The Elder Scroll is a quest item located in Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is central to the main quest.

The scroll itself is housed within a gold cylindrical casing. The decorative casing is adorned with precious gems and intricate runic carvings, possible Dwemer in origin.

When activated, the Dragonborn will open the scroll and a blinding light will engulf their vision. This has not other effect other than when it's used in it's related quest.

Bugs
After the main quest, the Elder Scroll will remain in your inventory and cannot be dropped due to it still being marked as a quest item. However as with all quest items, despite it's listed weight, it is in fact weightless.
