Augur of Dunlain

"They seek meaning, shelter in knowledge; they will not find it."

- Augur of Dunlain

Augur of Dunlain is a divination artifact found within The Midden of The College of Winterhold in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Previously a student of the college, the Augur of Dunlain ended up in its current state due to an overly zealous pursuit in his discipline of magic. Since, it has been known for its wisdom, but the people of the college do not like to talk about it.
