Help find an ancient Yokudan sword. Zone: Alik'r Desert Objective: Ancestor's Landing — Find the Sword-Singer's blade in the Yokudan Ruins. Quest Giver: Herminius Sophus Location(s): Ancestor's Landing, Na-Totambu's Landing Reward: Curse-Breaker's Boots Average Leveled Gold XP Gain: 683

Navid's ancient sword, believed by Herminius to be a spirit sword that persisted after his death...

Herminius Sophus, a scholar from Cyrodiil, asked me to search the Yokudan ruins at Ancestor's Landing for an ancient sword.

Quick WalkthroughEdit

1. Talk to Herminius Sophus and Azei at-Owynok. The conversation option telling Azei you'll take his advice must be chosen before the sword quest marker will appear.
2. Search for the ancient sword.
3. Fight off the Yokudan spirits before facing Ihlqub.
4. Talk to Azei.
5. Decide what to do with the sword.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Navid stands next to his skeleton and awaits your decision

NotesEdit

• While the quest objective description states that the spirit appears upon finding the sword, it instead appears beforehand, upon reaching the entrance to the canyon where it is located.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
