Cadwell the Betrayer opened a portal and disappeared. I should talk to the Cadwell I know and find out why he seems so weak again.

Cadwell faded away, but not before telling me what he knows of the Betrayer's plans. I need to return to Rimmen Palace and tell my companions what's going on.

The portal opened by Khamira led to an underground temple. I need to look around and see if I can find any sign of the Betrayer.
Objective: Search the Shadow Dance Temple
I found a strange relic tied to the moons. Khamira says this might be what the Betrayer seeks. I should examine it.
Objective: Examine the Temple Relic
The temple relic started the process of attuning Khamira to the Lunar Lattice. She needs to complete the process in order to stop the Betrayer from moving the moons and opening the way to Jode's Core. I should help her find the remaining relics.

I found another temple relic. I need to activate it to help Khamira continue the process of attunement to the Lunar Lattice.

Objective: Activate the Temple Relic
I need to watch as Khamira absorbs the energy from the temple relic. She thinks she can use it to restore the power of the Dragonhorn of Anequina.
Objective: Observe Khamira
Cadwell appeared and seems to be back to his old self. I should talk to him.
Objective: Talk to Cadwell
Khamira wants us to return to Rimmen Palace and gather our forces before we decide what to do about the eclipse that the Betrayer set in motion.
Objective: Return to Rimmen Palace

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.
