Elder Scroll (Dragon)

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

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

Interactions
When activated, the Dragonborn will open the scroll and a blinding light will engulf their vision. Outside the related quest, you can open the scroll and it will temporarily blind the player.

Once the scroll has served its purpose, it can be given to Urag gro-Shub at the College of Winterhold for 2,000 Gold. .

Quests

 * Elder Knowledge - Paarthurnax sends the Dragonborn to obtain the scroll. It is eventually found in the Tower of Mzark in the ancient dwarven city, Blackreach.
 * Alduin's Bane - Once the Elder Scroll has been obtained, it needs to be read at the time wound atop the Throat of the World in order to learn Dragonrend.

Bugs

 * Obtaining the Elder Scroll before having to find it before the quest Elder Knowledge breaks the main storyline. There is no known fix besides reloading an old save.
 * Trying to read the Elder Scroll while in a chest menu won't have any effect until the chest menu is exited - however when the scroll is opened normally, the screen may go black.
