Quest Giver: Ahjazda, in Crucible, New Sheoth
Reward: Ahjazda's Paranoia

Background Information

Ahjazda thinks the world is coming to an end soon and she asks you to help her collect supplies. She gives you the task of collecting 3 items: the Amulet of Disintegration, the Ring of Desiccation and the Calming Pants.

Walkthrough

The Ring of Desiccation can be found in the Museum of Oddities, it's in a glass display case and not considered owned by the Museum, so you can just take it.

The Calming Pants can be obtained by talking to Fimmion. He can be found wandering the streets of Bliss. He'll want a Sweetroll in return, so give him one and he happily parts with the pants.

The Amulet of Disintegration can be found in Milchar. The map marker will point to the back entrance of Milchar, which is located some distance east from the main entrance and directly south of a Heretic camp. Inside you have to fight your way to the room where the Amulet is located. Inside the room, you'll find the Amulet inside an urn that is frozen shut. To be able to open it, you'll have to light 3 "fire basins" using the torch which is located on the back balcony. This torch cannot be picked up, instead you have to grab it and run around the room lighting the 3 "fire basins" (ps3 grab is L2), because after a short while, the first one will go out and all 3 have to be burning before you can open the urn. Once the Amulet has been obtained, you can return to Ahjazda.

There is no order in which you need to give the items to Ahjazda, nor does it matter if you obtain all 3 items and only then return to her. After giving each item, you get the opportunity to ask her why, for Sheogorath's sake, she'd want to have the item.

Notes

Although she claims she needs the item for when 'they' come, after completing the quest, you can find the items in her inventory and buy them back from her, so it would seem you were fooled and obtained her some highly valued items for almost nothing.

Interesting tidbit: if you can't just grab the torch, you may use telekinesis or an equivalent.
