[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Duties

Tharer Rotheloth in the Molag Mar Tribunal Temple asks you to make the Pilgrimage to Mount Kand shrine. Tharer gives you four Quality Potions of Night-Eye and warns you that you should be good with riddles or find The Yellow Book of Riddles (found randomly at many booksellers like the one in Balmora). Mount Kand should now be marked on your map and is northwest of Molag Mar (map) .

[edit] Mount Kand Shrine

The entrance to the shrine is at the top of the mountain and is simply labelled as Mount Kand, Cavern (don't enter the Assu cave which is nearby). Inside you should first encounter a Flame Atronach which you should not attack but talk to (if you attack and kill it you will have to wait until it respawns which can be a few days). The riddle you receive is:

A metal neither black nor red As heavy as man's golden greed What you do to stay ahead With friend or arrow or steed

The choices to answer this riddle are: Ebony, Glass, Daedric, Lead and Iron, with the relatively obvious correct choice of lead. If you answer incorrectly you will have to kill the creature and wait until it respawns. Continue on to find a Frost Atronach who again offers you a riddle:

If you lie to me I will slay you with my sword. If you tell me the truth, I will slay you with a spell.

The correct answer of this old riddle is You will slay me with your sword. Continue on to find a Storm Atronach offering the longer riddle:

My fellow Atronach, Zedias-soko, was slain. The Altmer claims the Dunmer is guilty. The Dunmer says the Khajiit did it. The Orc swears he didn't kill Zedias-soko. The Kahjiit says the Dunmer is lying. If only one of these speaks the truth, who killed Zedias-soko?

If you go through, race by race, and see what happens if only they are speaking the truth, you should see that it only works if the Orc is the guilty party. Continue past the Storm Atronach to the shrine to finish your pilgrimage.

Return to Tharer for his blessings.

[edit] Notes

• It is good idea to quicksave before approaching each Atronach in order to avoid having to wait until it respawns if you fail a riddle.
