The Maulborn face Almalexia's fury

I used the key to search the House Dres farmhouses outside Mournhold. I found a suspicious-looking trap door hidden under a rug. Naryu thinks we'll discover a connection to the Maulborn down there.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Naryu Virian inside the Mournhold Sewers.
2. Use Alit Grease to open the door.
3. Search for Maulborn in the sewers.
4. Talk to Farona Telvanni in the Mournhold Mages Guild.
5. Talk to an Ordinator.

Detailed Walkthrough

Enter the trap door inside the Dres Farmhouse. You and Naryu Virian need to explore the Mournhold Underground, looking for any sign of the Maulborn. Talk to Naryu again inside the sewers. She's worried that the Maulborn might have activated Daedric wards that her organization put in place to avoid detection by the Ordinators. She also tells you that there's a hidden door in the area, and that you'll need to find it to access the rest of the sewers.

There is a stone slab on the east side of the room. Investigate it.

<It appears that the stone slab here might be able to open, if you can find the switch that operates it.>

The lever to the right of the door is supposed to open the it, but the lever is stuck. There are alits wandering around the room, and Naryu gives you a hint as to what you may need to do:

Naryu Virian: "The door won't open? There's got to be something controlling it. Look around a bit. And watch out for those creatures. They're ... ugly."

Kill two of the alits that are wandering around the room and take their grease. Try it on the door.

<The metal connecting this stone lever to its housing is rusted and the lever won't turn. Perhaps if you apply grease to the lever you can get it to turn.>

<Apply alit grease to the rusted housing.>

<Applying the grease did the job. The lever finally turns.>

You have one piece of the puzzle solved, but there are two other levers you need to pull. One is in the little crevice between the two sides of the room, under a grate. The other can be accessed by climbing a ladder. With the levers turned and the hidden door unlocked, enter the Mournhold Sewer.

In the next chamber, Naryu discovers that the wards are indeed active. There are also Maulborn hiding in this area of the sewers. Continue further into the Mournhold Underground to the final chamber, where you discover Farona Telvanni being held prisoner. Maulborn Commander Kalara is here, and she commands her troops to destroy you. Defeat her, and Almalexia appears. She sends Farona to the Mages Guild to have her injuries healed. Head back into the room you came from and follow the water out to the world above.

Farona Telvanni is in the center of the Mages Guild courtyard. She says that the Maulborn kidnapped her and made her activate the wards in the old Tong base. Your next step is to talk to an Ordinator. The closest Ordinator is at the entrance to the city by the Undaunted Enclave. She gives you a reward, but not before telling you that Almalexia requests your presence in the Tribunal Temple.

Notes

• Completing this quest completes the "Mournhold" objective.
• If you take too long to kill the Maulborn, Almalexia will appear as if you've defeated them and distintegrate them for you.

* 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.
