Walkthrough[]
Upon completing "Lost in Study," Laranalda will tell you that the Heart of Anumaril is likely hidden in a secret passage in the Hall of Might to the east. She also has something else to tell you, but she will not tell you in front of her assistants, so she will ask you to follow her to the other side of the room. She will tell you that Ukaezai is known for controlling the minds of others, and that she suspects hes is controlling the mind of Tedryni. She will run some tests on Tedryni while you and Behelir investigate the Hall of Might.
Head into the Hall of Might, on the east side of the ruins. The place you are looking for is in the dead-end room along the western hallway in the hall of might. There are three books throughout the room; Remnants of Cyrod, Keeper of Tomes and The Black Year. These books will tell you how this city was founded, how Ukaezai was bound here to protect its secrets and how Ukaezai betrayed her masters and had her soul separated from her body. Once you have read all three, Behelir will notice a draft from one of the bookcases in the northeast of the room; investigate and you will find that there are three books missing from the bookcase. Place the books you found on the shelves, following the chronological order of the events they describe. First is Remnants of Cyrod, second is Keeper of Tomes and last is The Black Year.
This will reveal the way into the reliquary. Upon entering, you will find the Heart of Anumaril, but you will also discover that it was Behelir who is possessed by Ukaezai. She will grab the Heart and flee; pursue her through the ruins until you run into Laranalda. Speaking with her is optional; she will tell you that if Ukaezai has the Heart of Anumaril, she can use it to restore her spirit to her body. Ukaezai headed through the door ahead; head through and continue your pursuit. In here, you will find Ukaezai's spirit reconnecting with her body; confront her and she will cause the ceiling to collapse. When you come to, you will find the Heart of Anumaril lying on the ground next to you. Pick it up, then head south to the central room to confront Ukaezai; there is a passage in the southwest of the room you are in. At several points in the fight, Ukaezai will turn into fractured energy, which you will have to absorb with the Heart of Anumaril.
Once Ukaezai has been slain, head outside and speak with Laranalda to finish the quest.
