Ibar-Dad

Ibar-Dad is a small cave just to the west of the Assurnabitashpi Daedric shrine, not far from the Urshilaku Camp. ^[edit]

The cave is populated by two hostile sorcerers - who, besides being Daedra-worshipers with Scamps to help them out in the fight, are also archaeologists. Behind a door is Elante, the Altmer Sorceress. On a table are a few potions, the Ring of Night-Eye, a key and her notes indicating that this expedition has just discovered a hidden tomb, the Tomb of Mordrin Hanin. The tomb can be found in this cave, accessible through some underwater passages, guarded by some much more powerful Daedra. The door is locked (70) and trapped and the tomb contains a haul of astonishingly good loot.

[edit] Notes

The sorcerer-archaeologists are also alchemists, owning a large haul consisting mostly of potions, books, scrolls and Alchemy Apparatus.
Creatures guarding the tomb itself include a Daedroth, two Dremora Lords and a Golden Saint. The tomb is heavily locked and trapped, as well, but there is an Ancient, rusted Daedric Key in a trapped chest if you search to the east.
The treasure in the tomb includes a Daedric Face of Inspiration, shield, staff and battle-axe, and eight (identical) Ancient Silver Daggers with fairly potent poison enchantments - which are all cursed (picking them up will summon a hostile Ancestor Ghost).
There are five random scrolls in an urn and two skill-books on stands: 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 16 (Axe) and Mystery of Talara, Part 3 (Destruction).
Pride of place goes to the great tower shield Eleidon's Ward, which hangs on the back wall of the tomb, above the corpse. The shield is in plain sight, but you'll need to either levitate, have very good Acrobatics skills, use Telekinesis or cast Jump to be able reach it.
