[edit] Orders from Caius

You return to Caius Cosades in Balmora after being cured (sort of) of Corprus over in Tel Fyr. Once again you are promoted to Operative and are actually now head of the Blades in Vvardenfell, since Caius is being recalled to the Imperial City. Talk to Caius about your new promotion to get some handy items as well as use of his house. His last orders to you before he leaves are to continue to investigate the lost prophecies, taking them to Nibani Maesa up in the Urshilaku Camp when you find them. First stop is to meet Mehra Milo over in the Hall of Wisdom, Vivec Temple Canton (who we visited before). We know Milo was being watched and she will leave a message in her private quarters under the code word AMAYA. Also, stop by the Mages Guild in the Foreign Quarter and speak to Janand Maulinie to purchase some Divine Intervention scrolls needed for this quest.

[edit] Looking for Milo

So, take a jaunt over to the Hall of Wisdom in Vivec to look for Milo. Looking in the library where she was last time, you see no sight of her. Asking the other librarians you find out that her private quarters are opposite the Canon Offices in the Hall of Wisdom. Her quarters are locked (level 20) but by this point you should have spells, scrolls or picks to quickly dispose of it. It's obvious that Milo is not in, but a Note to Amaya on the dresser catches your eye. The note mentions that Milo is over at the Inquisitor at the Ministry of Truth and that you should bring two Divine Intervention scrolls. She goes on to mention that the guard, Alvela Saram will let you past if you mention you are looking for her and that she has left two levitation potions for you to use. The letter sounds a little suspicious, but you decide to head over to the Ministry and check it out.

[edit] Ministry of Truth

The Ministry of Truth is that large floating rock over the Temple Canton (hard to miss) which is reached using levitation. You can use a levitation potion or spell, or instead you can use the Shrine to Stop the Moon, located below the ministry, where you will be asked to donate a potion of rising force (a bargain, cheap, standard, quality, or exclusive potion will work, but not a custom potion). In exchange for your donation, you are blessed with a powerful levitation spell (100 points for 1440 seconds).

Outside the top entrance to the ministry you will find the guard Alvela Saram. Talking with Alvela reveals that Milo is a prisoner and you are tasked with breaking her out. She gives you the main key and suggests to enter using the back door. Keys to open other doors inside must be found.

Once inside the Ministry, do not let anyone see you as they will attack and call the guards. The NPCs here are well armored and hit hard, so unless you're prepared, a stealthy approach may be best (any form of invisibility or chameleon helps). The Prison Keep is at the top of the Ministry and only has a level 20 lock guarding it (to the right of the upper entrance in the desk). Once you enter you may be attacked by a few guards so be careful. Mehra is in the right-most holding cell waiting for you. Overall, there's technically no wrong way to do this, get to Mehra however you can.

Note: As the Temple Patriarch no guards will attack you. The Grand Inquisitor talks tough when addressed but doesn't stop you from taking the key from his desk. Even as the Patriarch, though, the guards will attack you if you take the prison key from the prison guard's desk. Strangely enough you can open the door by means other than the prison key and the guards don't mind that.

[edit] Escaping with Milo

Once you find Mehra, she outlines the escape plan. You are to give her one Divine Intervention scroll for her to make her escape, and you escape the same way or another, as you like. You are to meet each other at the secret Dissident Priests Monastery at Holamayan. You are to meet a woman on the east docks of Ebonheart (just south-west of Vivec) named Blatta Hateria. Tell Blatta that Mehra sent you and that you want to go fishing. Blatta will then bring you to Holamayan where you and Milo will meet up. Once there, you'll receive the lost prophecies from the Dissident Priests' leader Gilvas Barelo. Additionally, the entrance to Holamayan is concealed with magic. Speak to Vevrana Aryon, a monk on the dock at Holamayan about it.

[edit] Traveling to Holamayan

So, make your escape as you wish. If you use a Divine scroll as suggested, you'll actually end up in the middle of Ebonheart which is rather convenient. Blatta is on the dock asking if she knows you. Once you mention you want to go fishing, the option to travel to Holamayan will be added to her destination list (labeled as Azura's Coast Region). You meet Vevrana on the docks when you arrive, and are informed that the magical shield guarding Holamayan only opens at dusk and dawn, meaning you will probably have to rest until the proper time. She also can arrange your trip back to Vivec when you choose. Dusk and dawn times are 6pm to 8pm and 6am to 8am, respectively.

[edit] Dissident Priests and Lost Prophecies

You can find Mehra with Gilvas Barelo just off to the right in the library when you enter Holamayan. Gilvas has some information on Dagoth Ur, among other things, as well as the lost prophecies that you have been looking for. You receive three notes from him relating to the prophecies: The Lost Prophecy, The Seven Curses and Kagrenac's Tools. Talking to him about the Nerevar also nets you three more books. Make sure you exhaust all dialogue possibilities with Gilvas to get all the information that you can. By all accounts, you are becoming closer and closer to being the true Nerevarine. Now that Caius is gone, you have no one to report to, but don't forget that Nibani Maesa in the Urshilaku Camp wanted to speak with you again once you've found the lost prophecies.

[edit] Notes

If you killed the guard Alvela you can get around this by the two console commands:

player->additem "Key_Ministry_Ext" 1
Journal "A2_4_MiloGone" 15

This should give you the key to the Ministry of Truth and the proper journal update.

[edit] Quest Stages

These Codes can be used along with the Journal Console Command and Quest ID given above the chart(s) to update the quest to a certain point.

1	Blatta Hateria is ready to take me to Holamayan any time I'm ready to travel. And she'll offer that service any time I need it.

5	Caius gave me some gold and a few things that 'might come in handy.' And I can use his house while he's gone.

A2_4_MiloGone
Index	Journal Entry
1	Caius Cosades was recalled to the Imperial City. He says he believes I am really the Nerevarine. He wants me to find the lost prophecies and deliver them to Nibani Maesa. His parting orders are to go to the Hall of Wisdom and Justice, where Mehra Milo will tell me how to get the lost prophecies. He says she's being watched, and if something has gone wrong, she will leave me a message under the code word 'amaya.'
10	I found a note addressed to 'Amaya' in Mehra Milo's room. I think it means she's in trouble, probably imprisoned in the Ministry of Truth. I'm to tell the guard at the entrance, Alvela Saram, that I'm looking for Mehra Milo, and she'll let me in. Milo wants me to bring her two Divine Intervention scrolls. For an escape plan? She also left me two Levitation potions.
15	Alvela Saram gave me a key to the entrance to the Ministry of Truth. I'll need keys for other doors inside; look for them in desks. She said there's sympathy for the Dissident priests among the Ordinators, but if anyone gets killed getting her out, we'll lose that sympathy.
20	I gave Mehra Milo a Divine Intervention scroll. She'll meet me at Holamayan, a Dissident priest monastery, and we'll get the lost prophecies. I'll go to the East Docks in Ebonheart, find Blatta Hateria, tell her that Mehra Milo sent me, and that I want to 'go fishing.' She'll bring me to Holamayan by boat. I must speak to Vevrana Aryon, a monk at the dock at Holamayan, about Holamayan's magically hidden entrance.
22	Vevrana Aryon, a monk of Holamayan, says I will find Mehra Milo in the monastery here, on this island. A stone pathway north from the docks leads uphill to the entrance to Holamayan, but the portal opens only at dusk and dawn, the magical twilight hours sacred to Azura. I will find Mehra Milo in the library with Master Barelo. Later, Vevrana Aryon can arrange for my return to Vivec whenever I am ready.
25	Here's Gilvas Barelo's short interpretation of 'The Lost Prophecy'. 'An outlander -- foreign-born, but welcomed as a guest -- confronts seven curses beneath Red Mountain. His hand, blessed by Azura, uses a cursed blade to bring justice to House Dagoth, or House Dwemer, or both.' Maybe the prophecy was lost because Ashlanders didn't like the idea of an outlander Nerevarine.
30	Here's Gilvas Barelo's short interpretation of 'The Seven Curses'. 'Seven curses come from House Dagoth, or House Dwemer, or both. Fire and ash come from Red Mountain. Flesh is corprus. Ghosts, Seed, and Despair are unclear, but Curse-of-Dreams seems to refer to recent cases of soul sickness and Sleeper attacks in the towns.'
40	Gilvas Barelo says that Dagoth Ur grows stronger while the Tribunal grows weaker. He sees the return of Saint Nerevar, even if it is only the 'spirit' of Saint Nerevar, as the best hope for salvation from Dagoth Ur's menace.
42	The Temple might not be so intolerant of differences in opinion, Gilvas Barelo says, but the Ordinators under Berel Sala claim that the threat from Red Mountain and Dagoth Ur can only be resisted with a unified, resolute faith. If the Dissident priests could show they can confront Dagoth Ur more effectively than the Ordinators, the Temple and people might support the Dissident priests.
44	Gilvas Barelo says that faith in the Temple's protective power was strong as long as the Ordinators, Buoyant Armigers, and Tribunal could contain the blight and Dagoth Ur's creatures within the Ghostfence. But now travelers and settlements suffer from blight storms and marauding monsters, and the people fear the Temple is losing its ages-old battle with the Devil Dagoth Ur.
46	The appearance of the Sixth House is clearly a sign of a coming crisis, according to Gilvas Barelo. In such troubled times, the Dunmer may turn to the ancient pillars of faith, the ancestors and the Daedra, and the prophetic visions granted by Lord Azura. Then they may look to the Nerevarine, Saint Nerevar Reborn, to lead them against the grim armies of Dagoth Ur.
48	The Heirographa are the collected priestly writings of the Temple. The Apographa are the 'hidden writings' -- secrets known only at the highest levels of priesthood and inquisition. The Dissident priests have gathered much of the Apographa in Holamayan. One of the chief disputes between the Temple and the Dissident priests is that the Temple hides the truth from its followers.
49	From the Apographa, Gilvas Barelo gave me a document called 'Kagrenac's Tools'. This document describes the terrible secret that the Temple conceals about the true history of the Tribunal and the corrupt nature of their divine powers. To hide this secret, the Temple persecutes the Nerevarine and the Dissident Priests. Barelo says the persecution must stop, and we must unite against the true enemy, Dagoth Ur.
50	Gilvas Barelo gave me 'The Lost Prophecy' and 'The Seven Curses'. 'The Lost Prophecy' says the Nerevarine is an outlander. That may surprise the Ashlanders, but it suggest that I might really be the Nerevarine. He also gave me a document based on the Apographa called 'Kagrenac's Tools' which reveals the guilty secret behind the Tribunal's divine powers. I must bring these lost prophecies to Nibani Maesa as soon as I can.
