Telvanni Research is a quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn in which the Dragonborn must assist Neloth with his research into the Ash Spawn by collecting a sample for him.

Background[]

Neloth is doing research on ash spawn. He's asked me to bring him a sample of the ash from one using a special extraction tool.

Objectives[]

  1. Collect ash from an ash spawn
  2. Talk to Neloth

Walkthrough[]

Speak to Neloth and ask if he needs help with his research:

Can I help with your research? "Hmm. I do have a new spell I'm working on. I hope to be able to conjure ash spawn. If I could get a sample of ash from an ash spawn, that would be quite useful. I've made this special tool that will extract... well, you don't need to know the details. Just go harvest a sample. Of course, the creature will have to be dead first, but I trust that's something you can... bring about."

He gives the Dragonborn an Ash Extractor to collect the ash from an Ash Spawn. Ash spawn can be found all across the ash wastes of Solstheim. Several can be found in Raven Rock Temple or near Hrodulf's House. Once an ash spawn has been killed, activate the ash pile and collect a sample.

Return to Neloth, who remarks: "Well done. Here are some septims for your troubles. If you come back in a day or two I should have the spell worked out. You can buy it from Talvas."

After receiving a leveled amount of Gold, Talvas Fathryon will sell the spell tome Conjure Ash Spawn.
