We Indoril were the gatekeepers of the Thirr. As such, it was our duty to contain contamination and prevent corruption from spreading into the heart of Resdayn. But the current gatekeepers of Ebonheart are not as assiduous in their duty. They do not understand what must be done and cannot contain the threat to the rest of the province. A dark corruption has spread through the land, beginning in Vvardenfell, and is now worming its way through the rest of the land. Find the dark idols that cause it.

I heard you were successful in driving out the ghost haunting Stendarr's Tower. It just took a little creativity to deal with the haunting.

Yes, I've heard of the haunting. The specter can't be exorcised by normal means. Magic doesn't work, and neither do well-made weapons. Has anyone tried just speaking with the ghost? Perhaps if you ask it what it wants, you can discover how to banish it. Cast a Calm Creature spell on the ghost and see if you can talk to it. You can check to see if Yuaile Phyroc sells any suitable scrolls for that purpose. Oh, and talk to Hastophos Velifer. He lives near the plaza, and knows a thing or two about it spirits.

So, did you soultrap the ghost, or were you able to find some other means of driving it from the Tower? Either way, congratulations in putting the dead to rest.

In certain circumstances, the soul of a man or mer is bound to a place and either cannot or will not leave on its own volition. In cases like these, you must remove the soul from the premises the spirit is haunting. Soul-trap the ghost. Once you've done so, the spirit will no longer be able to physically manifest in the area it was haunting. You'll need a soul gem, of course, and possibly a Soultrap scroll. Try Yuaile Phyroc's for both.

A curious case, the ghost haunting Stendarr Tower. Yes, %PCRace, you've come to the right person. Many are too nervous about speaking of the undead, but I've made it my life's study to learn all I can of them. You're the first person to consult with me on the haunting of Stendarr's Tower, but I believe I know exactly how you can exorcise the spirit. If Turn Undead doesn't work, and the ghost can't be killed by normal means, you'll need to try something more unorthodox.

I heard that the ghost has been successfully driven out from Stendarr's Tower. I hope my advice was of help.

Ah, you're looking into banishing the ghost that's been haunting Stendarr's Tower? Excellent! As you probably know, the undead are immune to normal weapons. You'll need to use either silver or better quality weapons or magic to harm the spirit. Fair warning, though: this ghost did not dispel when we attempted to use force.

Great work purging Stendarr's Tower of that frightful specter.

Votus Titonian sent you, you say? Yes, I'm familiar with the ghost that's haunting Stendarr Tower. It's been there quite some time and seems resistant to being driven off. In general, when dealing with the restless dead, a certain ability in Conjuration can be helpful, like a Turn Undead spell. However, we weren't able to banish the ghost using Conjuration alone.

Again, thanks for clearing out the ghost that was haunting Stendarr Tower. Now we'll actually be able to use the tower again.

Yes, thanks for exorcising the ghost! Here, this weapon wasn't useful in driving off the ghost, but perhaps it might come in handy for other hauntings.

The ghost has been banished. Well done, %PCName! I requisitioned these potions of fire resistance, but with the specter gone, we don't need them anymore. You can have them.

The good news is the haunting hasn't gotten any worse. The bad news is that the ghost is still trying to burn the Tower to the ground.

Be seeing you.

You're certainly welcome to try, but don't say I didn't warn you. I wish you luck. No matter what anyone tries with that vengeful spirit, it keeps coming back. If you can exorcise it, you'll be doing the castle a great service. You could try talking to Helice Rastin, since she's with the Imperial Cult. Or maybe Memistean Fellux? You can find Rastin in Arkay's Tower and Fellux in Akatosh's Tower. Or perhaps someone at the Mages Guild in town will know how to exorcise a ghost.

That specter has made the entire tower unusable. And it's not just the tower, either. Sometimes the portcullis goes up or down randomly, or the gates open and close. We found out pretty quickly that you can't kill the ghost with swords. It just disappears and comes back. Like it's tied to the place, somehow. The Court Wizard could probably deal with it, but now he's gone missing, and other mages haven't had much luck in deciphering his notes.

We call it the Fiery Horror. Some people believe that ghost is angry at us Imperials for building our city here, trying to burn the whole place to the ground. I don't know what to make of that. All I know it's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen. The night that we abandoned the tower it appeared in the middle of the bunkroom and set every single bed on fire. We were lucky to get out alive.
