What's Next?
After returning Barilzar's Band to Almalexia, you may be left a little confused over what to do next as neither Drin, nor Fedris, or even Almalexia herself will have anything for you to do. In order to start the next series of events, you will have to wait around for a little bit (try resting or waiting for 24 hours). After a time, everyone you speak to will tell you of an attack on the Plaza Brindisi Dorom by strange enchanted machines. You won't be able to conduct any business at this point since you are forced to quit the dialogue.

Plaza Brindisi Dorom
Take a trip to the Plaza which is the southern section in the city of Mournhold. Once inside you'll find a number of Hulking and Verminous Fabricants attacking High Ordinators and Royal Guards alike. Join the fray and help the guards defeat the metal beasts (the guards seem to do ok, so you can probably just watch if you want to). Once all of the Fabricants have been defeated, you will recieve a journal entry to that effect. Speak to any surviving Royal Guard in the area and they will tell you to go and report the attack to Tienius Delitian at the Royal Palace.

Tienius Delitian
Tienius can be found in the Royal Palace, upstairs in the Throne Room, though you won't find anyone who will actually give you this information. Once you've found him, he will ask you to look into the disturbance and find their true source. Tienius says that the attacks seem to originate from some Dwemer ruins deep beneath the city. An entrance that may lead to these ruins has been found beneath the Memorial Statue, which was destroyed in the attack on the Plaza. You are to explore the ruins and find out where the creatures originate from.

Alternate Route
If you speak with a High Ordinator instead, he demands you report immediately to Fedris Hler in the Temple. Hler then asks to investigate the hole opened in the center of the Plaza (similar to the orders of Tienius Delitian). This will allow you to skip two more Palace quests.==Quest Stages==
