Details

The quest begins upon entering the tower. You will be approached by an Imperial Mage Illia. She has just killed a fellow witch. She informs you this tower is evil and she can no longer be apart of its dark order. She asks you to help her travel to the top and kill the leader of the order, her Mother. Accept and she will set off up the stairs.

Illia is a powerful ally. She casts strong ice spikes that deal heavy damage to your opponents, spiders and hobgravens. Stay at range and back her up to avoid most of the damage. If you're a thief you can pick pocket a key from her person to unlock a cabinent on the second floor with some leveled treasures.

At a certain point you will reach a master locked door. If you can pick it be my guest, otherwise you will need to venture alone down a side hallway into a inner chamber. You will confront a witch and a hobgraven. The witch has the key. Slay them and return to Illia. Unlock the door and continue until you reach the top of the tower.

You will exit the tower to find yourself in a ritual courtyard. Illia decieves her mother into thinking you are her sacrifice. The event begins when you sit in the chair. Illia attempts to back stab her mother. As she fails rise from the chair and quickly overwhelm the witch. She has powerful spells, but low life and her attention is focused on her daughter.

When she is dead Illia will thank you and suggest you take her mother's staff as payment. Loot the staff as well as anything you see of value from the table. Be sure to check the chest in her tent for further reward.
