Walkthrough
Upon entering Valthume the player encounters a spirit named Valdar. The player is instructed to collect 3 vessels in the cave and bring them back to Valdar.

The first vessel can be found in the Valthume area inside the room with the Draugr Overlord and has 2 holes to the outside. It's possible that during the heat of the fight, the vessel might get knocked over search the floor of the room.

The second vessel is located in catacombs in the room which is locked with a cage but opened by a chain trigger.

The combination to the door is dragon, hawk, wolf.

The third vessel can be obtained in the room behind the combination lock door.

Upon returning to Valdar he will tell you that by pouring out the contents of the vessels, the lich entombed in the caves will be deprived from regaining its full power. After the player pours the vessel contents into a fount and sits in the throne, Valdar will reanimate the lich, who will still be formidible (according to Valdar).

Valdar then awakens Hevnoraak, a Dragon Priest). Like the other Dragon Priests, Hevnoraak casts powerful lightning spells at the player and summons storm atronachs.

When defeated Hevnoraak will drop the dragon mask Hevnoraak (armor:25, weight:9, value:891) which makes its wearer immune to both disease and poisons.
