[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Duties

It seems that Edwinna Elbert now wishes, with your assistance, to acquire a book, Chimarvamidium from a fellow Mages Guild member in Vivec. Chimarvamidium is the sixth volume of Morabar Sul's Ancient Tales of the Dwemer. Evidently Sirilonwe of the Vivec hall has acquired a copy of the book and Edwinna wants you to 'borrow' the book and bring it to her. She warns you that if you are caught stealing you will be expelled from the Guild. Edwinna also provides you with two Scrolls of Ondusi's Unhinging, to use if needed.

[edit] Steal Chimarvamidium

Grab your local Guild Guide and head to the Mages Guild in Vivec. If you haven't been there before, Sirilonwe's quarters can be found down the hall to your left as you leave the Guild Guide teleporter in Vivec (go left, then right). Sirilonwe keeps the copy of the book in a locked (level 30) chest in her unlocked closet. If you open the locked chest with the closet door closed, you won't get caught. The key to the chest containing the book is on the table sitting next to a locked small chest. Take the book, and head back to Ald'ruhn.

[edit] Edwinna's happy once again

Upon returning to Ald'ruhn, give the book to Edwinna and you are rewarded with a 10 point increase in Disposition with her, as well as a 5 point increase in Faction Reputation.

[edit] Notes

The Vivec Mages Guild has the only copy of the book in Morrowind. You can also find it as random loot if you are lucky enough. If you are playing on the PC version and need to give yourself the book use the console command:

player->AddItem "BookSkill_Heavy Armor3", 1

Make sure you read Chimarvamidium before you relinquish it to Edwinna since it is a Heavy Armor skill book.
In the chest in Sirilonwe's closet you will also find a book titled Breathing Water; make sure you read it before you leave -- it is an Alteration skill book.
