The Main Quest went through some changes during initial development. The original version of the main quest involved re-assembling the Staff of Chaos. A large amount of documentation is found at the Imperial Library.

Some visited locations included Balfiera (map), Lake Canulus Refuge (map), and the Vaults of Genim (map).

Main Quest v1Edit

• The Exclusive Vaults of Gemin

"Of course! And because of your actions here, they will never find the magic weapon Chancellor Tharn wants.
That's good news for the Covenant—and possibly for all of Tamriel. Why, we're heroes! Heh heh."

The Staff of TowersEdit

"There are many objects of Divine origin scattered throughout Tamriel with which one might recharge something as powerful as the Amulet of Kings. The difficulty is determining which is the safest and most logical to utilize."

"<<1>> believes the energies of the Crystal Tower can be tapped by the Balac, and will partially return the staff to its former power. The anchor of the Crystal Tower is called Crystal-like-Law; its energies tie the tower to Nirn."

"You say you are willing. Then let your journey begin. The towers await, their stones laid within. The Balac will be drawn to them, as the light is drawn to the dawn."

"The power to restore the Balac lies within the Anchor Towers of Tamriel. Each tower is laid upon a singular stone, its essence and foundation, the connection to Nirn. Find the stones, one to each tower, and bolster the Balac upon their energies."

"Do not travel by land to the towers! It is out of the question. The Balac is too precious, and there are many dangers out in the world. Seek the Mages Guild I say, for they are allies still, and know much of the magics of teleportation."

"The Anchor Towers await - Adamantine, Crystal, Red Mountain. Through they alone can the Balac be restored. Ask now of each tower, and I will tell what I may know."

"Find first the Zero Stone, at the heart of Adamantine Tower. In the halls above and dungeons below Clan Direnni rules. They will despise your intrusion, and guard the Zero Stone ferociously. But you must find it, tap its power, tap its power."

"The Zero Stone will restore the staff. It was laid by the gods themselves, back before the dawn.It's so simple! And yet... I fear the journey will be anything but."

"Your friends in the Daggerfall Covenant would gladly send you to Balfiera Island. They always need more reinforcements for their war. Just ask for a battlemaster in one of your alliance cities."

"In the light of the scrolls, through the veil of permeation, I saw three steps to the end."

"First there is an island of war: the place called Balfiera. You must go there to begin."

"Second: the tower, the one called Adamantine. You must get inside. Through depths and darkness you go, downwards, never up."

"And last, the Zero Stone, the core and foundation. Place the staff upon the stone. Its eternal surface connects to Nirn, to recharge and renew."

Quest stages:

I am inside the Adamantine Tower. Now I must find a way to the Zero Stone and imbue the Balac with its power.

"Charge the Balac within the Adamantine Tower"

"Charge the Balac within the Crystal Tower"

"Charge the Balac within Red Mountain"

"Charge the Balac to the Zero Stone"

"Charge the Balac to Crystal-like-Law"

The Final Battle at Adamantine TowerEdit

Abnur Tharn betrayed us. Lyris went after him, but …

"The what reveals the where. It is Balfiera Island a rock upon the Iliac Bay. The bickering factions of Tamrial vie for its control. An endless arena of war. The battlemasters of the Daggerfall Covenant will readily send you there to die."

"To Balfiera, the island of war - to Adamantine, the tower's depths - to the foundation the Zero Stone! Upon that timeless stone the staff must be charged."

"There is but one tower on that island - the one named Adamantine. Enter the tower,but go down, not up. In those ancient depths, in the dungeons far below, you will find the foundation - the Zero Stone. It alone can restore the Staff of Towers."

"And last— the Zero Stone— the core and foundation. Place the staff upon the stone. Its eternal surface connects to Nirn, to recharge and renew."

"I hear it! The Zero Stone echoes from within the staff. You have succeeded. We are one step closer to life, one step further from annihilation."

Quest stages:

The Prophet has opened a portal to Balfiera Isle and the Adamantine Tower. I will be bringing the Amulet of Kings with me.

I must descend into the depths below the tower and locate the Zero Stone, a massive source of Divine power from the Dawn Era.

Abnur Tharn is here, speaking to his Legion soldiers through a magical projection. I should have words with him.

There is a path leading down not far from here. Abnur Tharn's soldiers and Worm Cult agents stand between me and the Zero Stone.

I've entered into some kind of ancient Ayleid observatory built up around the tower spire. I need to find my way through.

I've reached the Seal of the Stars. I must determine the configuration of constellations that will allow me through.

The way is open. The Zero Stone awaits.

The last of Abnur Tharn's minions stand in my way, hoping to delay me while the Imperial gorges himself on the energy of the Zero Stone.

Abnur Tharn has turned Lyris Titanborn into an undying servant and has set her against me. I must defeat them both to get to the Zero Stone.

Lyris Titanborn is dead, and Abnur Tharn's own demise is little penance for his crime. It is time to empower the Amulet of Kings and find my way, unerringly, to my soul.

I am in some kind of vision. The Amulet is attuning itself to my soul's location.

I will now be able to find my way to wherever my soul is kept, no matter who possesses it. The Prophet has appeared in the flesh through one of his portals. I should speak with him.

The Prophet has asked me to set and light Lyris's funeral pyre.

Lyris has been laid to rest, and her spirit will find its way to the Nord afterlife in Sovngarde. I should finish my business with the Prophet so we can return to the Harborage and prepare for our final task.

I have entered a twisting descent into the world's heart. The only way forward is down.

I've safely returned to Gudrun's Retreat. I should speak to the Prophet and tell him what transpired beneath the Adamantine Tower.

• Tell me about the Maruhkites.
• What do the Maruhkites guard against?
• What is the Maruhkati Selective?
• Who are the Maruhkites?
• It took me a year and more, but I've found how to pluck Cipher from Molag Bal's jaws.\n\nAn artifact is needed. I dare not speak its name here, but the key to its recovery is held within a book - the Maruhkati Codex.\n\nFollow the portal; find the Codex.
• It has taken me years, but I have finally tracked down an item that can free Lord Cipher - the Maruhkati Codex. It has been secreted away in Canulus Refuge.\n\nI can get you to the Refuge, but I need you to actually track down the Codex's whereabouts.
• Lyris, please read from the book. I must hear this.\n\nAnd you, my friend, please stay and listen. The secret of the Maruhkites shall soon be revealed, and so shall we find the path to recovering your stolen soul.

• Foul scion of the Direnni! How could you pass the trials of the faithful? No bastard elf-spawn would be so strong.\n\nDo you think to come here and put an end to the Maruhkites? We have survived much worse than you.
• Farewell, Unbeliever. The guardians of Maruhk will soon show you the path you have chosen - that of your own destruction.
• You are far from home, foreigner. \n\nWhat is your intent here? Have you crossed the seas to put an end to the Maruhkites? We have survived opponents far greater than you.
• In the dying days of the Maruhkati Selective, those madman shut themselves away in an underground fortress.\n\nBut their enemies found them there. The foes fought their way in. Time passed. None emerged. It was their final refuge.
• Unbeliever! You walk the path to righteousness, and it was I who showed you the way.\n\nMaruhk, forgive me!
• Ugly brute! Your stench is overwhelming! I cannot imagine how a pig child could attempt to pass as one of Alessia's faithful.\n\nNow tell me what business you have here, deep within the last refuge of the Maruhkites?
• This book will show us the way - show us what became of the Maruhkites' stolen staff.
• Unbeliever! You walk the path to righteousness, and it was I who showed you the way.\n\nMaruhk, forgive me!

• By the visions of Maruhk...by the holy Dragonfires...by the jewel of St. Alessia....
• "The final refuge of the Maruhkites became the final resting place of the staff."

• We are... or were... followers of the great prophet Maruhk, sworn to serve his divine purpose and purge this land of its elven corruption.\n\nOthers were blind to the righteousness of Maruhk's visions... and so you find me here, the last of our Order.
• Yes, this can only be the staff of legend. And yet... something is amiss.\n\nCan't you sense it, <<1>>? The staff - it is broken, incomplete! The Maruhkites, their Dragonbreak... the Balac that was is no more.
• <You touch the name "Maruhk" carved into the stone.> \n\n<The magic emanating from the statue fades away.>
• Surely your education as one of the Selective has given you consummate knowledge of our great Prophet. \n\nAfter all, Maruhk's teachings form the very heart of the Selectives' tenets.\n\nEvery novice should learn <<1>> by heart.
• Are we not all brothers and sisters, we who have devoted our lives to the Selective?\n\nSurely, you are a Maruhkite like me. How else would you be in our secret, most sacred, and heavily guarded refuge?\n\nDear brother! What a strange question!
• Are we not all brothers and sisters, we who have devoted our lives to the Selective?\n\nSurely you are a Maruhkite like me. How else would you be in our secret, most sacred, and heavily guarded refuge?\n\nDear sister! What a strange question!
• That thing has a history longer than Ysmir's beard. Half of it fairytale, no doubt.\n\nI do know getting it won't be easy. The Maruhkites guarded their secrets well, and they had no bigger secret than this. Somewhere in that dungeon the staff awaits.
• "Maruhk preached for ninety days and ninety nights, stopping only one hour in every twelve to relieve himself and quench his gullet."
• "The Maruhkites uphold that as he preached, Maruhk was in fact in the grip of an epic and all-encompassing vision, a visitation from the spirit of St. Alessia herself."
• "Maruhk's words were uttered as one not in possession of one's self, as if the sermon was merely being translated through him by another being."
• Unbelievers. Like yourself, no doubt. This was once a great refuge of the Maruhkati Selective. Once.\n\nOur soldiers fought the Unbelievers, defending this place and the secrets held within. In the end, death found us all. But death was not the end.
• This word is unfamiliar to me. But there are many things hidden here, in the last refuge of the Maruhkites. Many secret things. Our archives hold them fast, while the spirits of my brothers and sisters stand in its defense, an eternal guard.
• Those doors are closed. You may go see with your own eyes, if you wish. And if you are strong enough - the might of the Maruhkites bars your way.\n\nBut I will tell you the way: to the north, always north. At the farthest, you will find the archives.
• The item is not familiar to me. But there are many things hidden here, in the final refuge of the Maruhkites. Many secret things. Our archives hold them fast, while the spirits of my brothers and sisters stand in its defense, an eternal guard.
• It's an extremely rare text. The original was destroyed, and only five copies were ever made.\n\nA wonder it survives at all. The Alessians did all they could to wipe out any reminder of the Maruhkati Selective.
• Zealots, I would call them. A splinter faction of the Alessian Order, cult followers of a prophet named Maruhk.\n\nThat book is written by one of their order. The Prophet believes the account within could hold the key to defeating Molag Bal.
• "This is my confession.\n\n"As a novice of the Maruhkati Selective, I watched helplessly as the glory of my order was crushed under the heel of Imperial interests."
• "Our forces were disbanded, a standing army of the faithful dissolved down into a few scattered companies.\n\n"I heard all this, rather than saw. We initiates were relegated to the sanctuary, the last bastion of Maruhkati supremecy."
• "What was already the final refuge of the Maruhkites became the final resting place of the staff."

Main Quest v2Edit

The first rendition of the main quest was rewritten entirely at one point. It largely resembles the final product, but much extraneous dialogue was cut, and large swaths were once again rewritten before release.

The details can be read in full here.

Main Quest v3Edit

This section contains a brief summary of Deprecated content.

Soul Shriven in ColdharbourEdit

This version of Soul Shriven in Coldharbour was live until Update 6. The Prophet was initially the first one to greet the player, and Er-Jaseen was the one to free you. Both these roles were later taken up by Lyris Titanborn after Update 6, with the following dialogue being removed:

"Slowly, now. You've been through an ordeal. Take a few moments to collect yourself."

What's happening? Who are you?

"Like you, I am a prisoner in this place, yet so much more.
I am the past and future both. I am despair and hope. The tapestry we weave is a complex one. You cannot hope to see its pattern in its entirety. Not yet."

What do you want from me?

"You must rescue me. And I, in turn, must rescue you. You must escape this cell, take up arms and protect yourself. Then, find Lyris Titanborn."

Lyris Titanborn? Who is that? I don't understand ….

The rest of the Prophet's involvement in the quest can be read here. Er-Jaseen's deprecated dialogue is also listed on his page.

Lyris was first encountered as you entered the Bleeding Forge. Her dialogue can be found here.

The quest progresses largely the same as in the current patch with a few differences. A Skeletal Cryomancer and Pyromancer were summoned as you entered the Anchor Mooring. When you approached the base of the Anchor, Molag Bal would summon the Anchor Guardian.

• <<1>> has told me to visit the Mages Guild in order to travel to a place called the Canulus Refuge.
• I ventured into the depths of the Canulus Refuge and secured the Maruhkite Codex from its guardians.\n\nI then handed the Codex over to <<1>>, and later met him again in Wayrest.
• I ventured into the depths of the Canulus Refuge and secured the magical staff known as the Balac.\n\nI then returned to Lyris Titanborn's hideout and handed the staff over to the Prophet.
• The Alessians took the Balac at Glenumbra Moor. What they did with it none can say. Their last refuge at Lake Canulus fell long ago, but the vaults beneath were never plundered. If the Balac isn't there, some word of where it's hidden will be.
• 17588180`Straight to the point then. I like that.\n\nThe book is sealed away inside the ruins of an ancient monastary, on the shores of Lake Canulus in Cyrodiil.\n\nThis portal stone should take you directly inside the complex. It's up to you after that.
• The book is sealed away inside the ruins of an ancient monastary, on the shores of Lake Canulus in Cyrodiil.\n\nI have attuned this <<1>> to take you directly inside the complex. It's up to you after that.
• It's sealed away within the ruins of an ancient monastery in Cyrodiil on the shores of Lake Canulus.\n\nThis <<1>> should take you close enough to find a way inside. \n\nUsing this ring will get you back, but finding <<2>> is up to you.
• Aye, and so we'll begin. It's time we recover the Balac.\n\nThanks to you, we know where the Balac was last kept. But we needed a fast, safe way into the Canulus Refuge. The old man here has solved that problem for us, thanks to his portal stone.
• Ah! Of course! Now listen well:\n\nThe Balac sits in another's hands, suspended from life, out of place, out of time. Hidden, protected, this defender waits, surrounded by death in the depths of his home - a place once called the Canulus Refuge.
• As I've said, it is too far for travel! You must visit the Mages Guild, show them you carry my ring. They cannot deny you... and through them the Canulus Refuge is mere moments away!
• Cipher's contact has tracked down an artifact that could let us free Lord Cipher - the Maruhkati Codex, an ancient tome secured away in the abandoned Canulus Refuge.

Gudrun's RetreatEdit

Gudrun's Retreat was an Ancestor Moth sanctuary that moth priests with recall stones would teleport too. It appears to have been an early version of the Harborage.

• Quickly, before the Worm Cultists realize what's happened. Stand by me and activate the recall stone to take us back to Gudrun's Retreat.
• Yes, that's it! Now activate the stone - it will transport us all to the safety of Gudrun's Retreat.
• A moth in amber, beautifully polished. Using it will return you to Gudrun's Retreat.
• I've found the captive Moth Priests, who were kidnapped by members of the Black Worm Cult.\n\nFortunately one of the priests had a recall stone on him. I can use it to teleport all of us out of the cave to the Ancestor Moth sanctuary, Gudrun's Retreat.
• Enter Gudrun's Retreat
• I've escaped the Worm Cultists' cave with the Moth Priests in tow. I should exit the room I'm in and see who else is here at Gudrun's Retreat.
• Door to Gudrun's Retreat
• I've made it to Gudrun's Retreat, and <<1>> is here. I should speak with her now.
• Welcome to Gudrun's Retreat, <<1>>.\n\nNow, I'm curious - why in Shor's name did you bring a Dremora Kynval here?
• Lyris is taking me to the Prophet inside Gudrun's Retreat. I need to speak with him to find out how the Staff of Towers will be repaired.
• I've safely returned to Gudrun's Retreat. I should speak to the Prophet and tell him what transpired beneath the Adamantine Tower.
• The Staff of Towers has been charged to the Zero Stone. I should now return to the Prophet at Gudrun's Retreat using the Recall Stone.
