Main article: Tribunal Temple Quests

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

Background

"To prove that you have patience and wisdom you must make to Pilgrimage to Sanctus Shrine."

―Endryn Llethan

Quick walkthrough

1. Speak with Endryn Llethan.
2. Head to the Sanctus Shrine in silence
   • Activate the Shrine (lifting the vow).
3. Return to Llethan.

Walkthrough

Once the Nerevarine has solved the issue of the Disease Carrier for Endryn Llethan, they may obtain a new quest from him. Llethan asks that the Nerevarine undertakes the Silent Pilgrimage from Vivec to the Sanctus Shrine, found to the west of Dagon Fel. The Nerevarine may not speak to anyone during the pilgrimage.

A Silent Pilgrim

The Nerevarine is intended to get to the shrine through walking to the remote island upon which the Shrine can be found. However, the Nerevarine may ease the journey by using a combination of Almsivi Intervention and Divine Intervention (teleporting and walking between the various locations) or by using a Recall spell (if they had laid a Mark spell at the Shrine before the quest). There are various other methods to get there, however.

Using Intervention

The Nerevarine may use a combination of Almsivi and Divine Intervention spells to head to Gnisis, following these directions:

1. Walk along the road leading north from Vivec until the Nerevarine reaches the first junction and cast Divine Intervention (teleports to Pelagiad).
2. Inside Pelagiad, the Nerevarine may cast Almsivi Intervention to take them to Balmora.
3. The Nerevarine will then have to walk north to Caldera. Once in Caldera, the Nerevarine may cast Divine Intervention to head to the Buckmoth Legion Fort and then walk to Ald'ruhn. The Nerevarine may also walk through Caldera to the first bend in the road north and cast Almsivi Intervention to head to the Temple in Ald'ruhn.
4. From Ald'ruhn, head north, past Bal Isra, to the Ashlander Camp of Mila-Nipal and cast Divine Intervention.
5. The Nerevarine should emerge next to Fort Darius in Gnisis. From there, the Nerevarine must make their way on foot to the Shirne.

Alternative Methods

There are other methods of using forms fast travel to get to the Shrine. These include:

• Mark & Recall - Before the quest, head to the shirne and cast Mark. Then start the quest, leave Llethan's presence, and cast Recall.
• Shrine of Daring - Donate a Rising Force Potion at the Shrine of Daring in Vivec to obtain a day's worth of levitation, allowing the Nerevarine to fly, as the crow flies, the shrine.
• Scrolls of Icarian Flight - Allows the Nerevarine to simply jump there.
• Propylon Chambers (requires the Master Index Plugin) - Use the various chambers to teleport across Vvardenfell to a ruin near Dagon Fel.

Once the Nerevarine has arrived at Sanctus Shrine Island, west of Dagon Fel and south of Vas, then, activates the shrine, the vow of silence is achieved and ends there. Now, the Hero is able to speak to anyone, and may return to Llethan to complete the quest.

Llethan will reward the Nerevarine with several books: two copies of 36 Lessons of Vivec (for Sermon 9 and Sermon 27), Silence and The Four Suitors of Benitah.

Trivia

• Saryoni's Sermons Manuscript can be found in the shack near the Shrine.
  • It can be stolen from the Temple (although being caught will see the Nerevarine kicked out of the Temple).
  • It is the most valuable book in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, at 50,000.
• The Nerevarine doesn't have to have joined the Temple to complete this quest.
• If the vow is broken, the Nerevarine won't be able to receive the rewards or reputation boosts.
  • Speaking with creatures will not break the vow (such as Creeper).
  • Speaking with guards with a bounty on the Nerevarine's head will not count either (nor will Thieves Guild  members whom can remove it).
  • People whom attack the Nerevarine just by interacting with them will also not break the vow.
  • If, however, the Nerevarine encounters a sleeper, the vow will be broken (as it will by speaking to any "normal" person).
