Pilgrimage to Maar Gan is a Tribunal Temple quest available to the Nerevarine, during the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Background

Tuls Valen wants me to make the Pilgrimage to Maar Gan. I should go to the temple shrine in Maar Gan and read the plaque describing Vivec's taunting of Mehrunes Dagon.

Objectives

1. Speak with Tuls Valen.
2. Perform the pilgrimage to Maar Gan's shrine.
   • Activate the shrine to learn of Vivec's taunting of Mehrunes Dagon.
   • Taunt the nearby Dremora into attacking.
   • Reactivate the shrine to receive its blessing.
3. Return to Valen.

Walkthrough

Anhaedra

Once the Nerevarine has removed the False Incarnate from Suran, Tuls Valen in Ald'ruhn the Nerevarine must perform a pilgrimage to the shrine in Maar Gan, a place where Vivec defeated Mehrunes Dagon.

Divine History

The town can be accessed through the use of the silt strider service from Ald'ruhn. The Shrine can be found in its own building in the town, with a shrine, known as the Magic Rock, which is located in the main room, along with a Dremora, named Anhaedra. If the Dremora is interacted with, immediately, he will state: " If you are a pilgrim, read the inscription on the stupid rock." The plaque on the rock tells the legend of Vivec saving the population from Mehrunes Dagon by taunting the Daedra, who, out of anger, threw a rock at Vivec, rather than at the people.

Re-enacting History

Note: It is possible, before confronting the Dremora, to speak to Tralas Rendas, near the rock, about "Blessings," he will confer the Nerevarine the Maar Gan Blessings, which grants Restore Health 30–50 points for 1 second, Fortify Attack 25 points for 30 seconds, and Sanctuary 75 points for 30 seconds.

The Nerevarine must then re-enact the legend by taunting Anhaedra, into attacking. After defeating the Dremora, interacting with the Rock again will give the Nerevarine the blessings of Fortify Personality and Fortify Speech 10 points for 48 minutes.

The Nerevarine must now return to Valen to complete the quest. They will be rewarded with a copy of the Death Blow of Abernanit, a Block skill book.

• The Nerevarine may complete the quest by making the Pilgrimage before the quest, although this will skip the two earlier quests available from Valen.
  • Although, they will not be skipped if the Nerevarine is below the rank of "Disciple."
