Template:About Keening is a unique dagger found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

History

The ancient Dwemer dagger was crafted by Lord Kagrenac, Chief Tonal Architect, during the First Era. He developed two additional tools, Sunder, and Wraithguard, that were integral to accessing the Heart of Lorkhan.

Acquisition

Keening can be acquired during the quest Arniel's Endeavor in one of the following radiant locations:

Enchantment

Keening has a unique enchantment called "Keening's Sting" that absorb 10 Points of Health, Magicka, and Stamina on strike. Keening is not capable of being recharged with a soul gem, nor may the blade be sharpened at a grindstone. The enchantment has infinite uses in theory, but is incapable of being recharged, making it a single use enchantment, after which it is rendered on par with an Elven Dagger in terms with damage and weight.

One method to ensure the enchantment never drains is by wearing enchanted apparel that grants a total of 100% or more Destruction spell cost reduction when worn. PC players may use the command playerEnchantObject 0006A13C 000AA157.

Trivia

  • If Keening is sold and rebought, a letter from Calcelmo is received saying that he would like to buy it from the Dragonborn.
  • Also may be found on the dead body of a Courier in the dungeon of Cronvangr Broodlair, Morvunskar, Uttering Hills Cave, Mara's Eye Den, Tolvald's Cave, Lost Knife Hideout, and Mistwatch.
  • Keening is transparent (not completely) when facing light with it equipped, but when facing away from light, causing the light to shine onto the side of keening that can be seen, keening becomes more solid, the transparence almost completely if not all the way hidden.

Bugs

  • It seems that Arniel's Endeavor cannot be completed if the player discovers the dagger prior to the quest; this can be solved by placing Keening on a weapon rack or in a display case and picking it up again.
  • Keening may also disappear right after completion of the quest making it unavailable. If this occurs try running downstairs to the room directly under where Arniel was standing. Often the dagger falls through the floor after the quest is completed, but can be picked up on the 1st floor (Tested on Xbox 360 version).
  • Keening may fall off the weapon racks in many of the houses, it also may not load into dagger display cases there, either. When placed in the small display case in the Arch Mage's Quarters, it may be found on the floor upon returning.
  •  360   PS3   May disapear if attempted to place on a dagger rack in Hjerim
