- For other uses, see Hermaeus Mora.
- "I see you have served my brethren, and now you come to serve me. I am Hermaeus Mora. Past, present, and future are as one to me. My followers seek to perform a divination. For this, they need souls, one of each of the sentient races. You will provide these. I give you a spell to trap these souls. Return to me when you have finished. When you do, I will further your journey on your true path."
- ―Hermaeus Mora[src]
Hermaeus Mora is a quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The quest involves capturing souls from each of the ten races using a special soul gem and spell given by Hermaeus Mora.
Prerequisites
In order to obtain this quest, the Hero must have completed all of the other Daedric quests. In addition, they must have started the Blood of the Daedra segment of the main quest and be level 20+.
After completing all the other Daedric Quests, a man named Casta Flavus will awaken them after the first time they rest. He will inform the Hero that Hermaeus Mora wishes them to visit his shrine.
Walkthrough
- "You have served me well, and I am pleased. I give you this, the Oghma Infinium. Knowledge given to by me to Xarxes is recorded within. Read it, and gain knowledge of yourself. Go now. Learn, and remember."
- ―Hermaeus Mora[src]
Go to the Shrine of Hermaeus Mora which is located in the northwest most point of the Jerall Mountains range, directly west of Cloud Ruler Temple and north of Sancre Tor.
The Hero must use a special given Black Soul Gem and special Soul Trap spell called Mora's Soul Trap provided by Hermaeus Mora to capture an NPC's soul.

Casting the spell on a victim
If the Arena quest line hasn't been started yet, go to the arena and become a combatant. During the fights in the arena every race will appear at least once. One can simply capture every fighter's soul during the fights.
If the Hero has a high Security skill, a high Sneak skill, and does not care for moral practices, one can always break into various houses and murder the designated target. One can also do this to a lone person outside, preferably at night. The victims will not seem to notice that they have been soul trapped and can easily be killed without being detected.
Each of the ten races are scattered throughout the Daedric Shrines. If a player travels to each they will be able to collect all the required souls relatively easily, as the worshipers usually have only a dagger on their person. Also, most of the ten races have representatives as Forgotten Ones in Anga, which the Hero previously visited during Namira's quest and all of them are eligible characters.
Collecting the reward
After collecting all souls, return to the shrine and Hermaeus Mora will reward the Hero with the Oghma Infinium, a book that increases several skills by ten levels. Mora's Soul Trap is removed from the Hero's spell book on completion of the quest.

Trivia
- If there is difficulty recognizing the races of the NPCs and using a PC, use the console to help determine the race. See Recognizing races for more information.
- Easy way: Go to other Daedric Shrines and get the souls of the worshipers there. No bounty will be incurred at most Shrines as they are far from any guards. A bounty will be incurred if an Imperial Legion Forester is nearby, however.
- Hermaeus Mora does not seem to care if the worshippers who were supposed to do the divinition were killed for their souls.
Bugs
|
This section contains bugs related to Hermaeus Mora (Quest). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:
|
- PC 360 PS3 If Hermaeus Mora's soul trap is used on the same enemy twice, the spell will not work anymore.
- Solution: Use the soul trap repeatedly on an item until the sound can be heard and the spell will work again.
