Quick WalkthroughEdit
Detailed WalkthroughEdit
This quest can be obtained once a day by talking to Breda, south of Windhelm. She will give you one of 9 quests; you can abandon a quest and get a new one from her to get a different one.
- "Redguards of Bergama have the Signal Fire Sprint. It honors an ancestor who saved their city from certain doom, a true gift of New Life.
- Go there, to the Alik'r Desert, and speak with Aubatha. She can explain!"
- All right, I'll head to Bergama.
Travel to Bergama in the Alik'r Desert. Once there, talk to Aubatha:
- "You are unfamiliar, but not unwelcome. What brings you to Bergama?"
- I'm here for the Signal Fire Sprint.
- "You honor us with your journey.
Light Bergama's signal fires before I end my count, as Zoreh the Tenacious did long ago."
You have the option of asking for advice on how to complete the sprinting challenge as well as the story of Zoreh the Tenacious.
Lighting the FiresEdit
You must light the four signal fires in 55 seconds (the timer is started once you light the first fire) to complete the quest. While lighting the fires, ensure you stay on the bridges (the ones that go between buildings). The fastest method of lighting the fires is lighting them in this order:
- Northwest (Referred to as North in-game)
- Northeast (Referred to as East in-game)
- Southwest (Referred to as West in-game)
- Southeast (Referred to as South in-game)
Doing this in 55 seconds is not difficult; even with no attributes in Stamina, no Stamina potions, and no abilities that grant extra speed, it is still possible to do this. However, for the achievement (Signal Fire Zephyr) you will either need attributes in Stamina, abilities that make you move faster, or powerful Stamina potions. Alternatively, you can do the quest in a group (with each member only lighting one or two fires).
If you fail to light the fires in time, Aubatha will call you over, by yelling "Quickly, to me. The warlord prepares to strike!"
When spoken to, she will assure you that there is no shame in failing this task.
- "There is no shame in failing to light the fires. It reveals just how fast Zoreh had to move."
- Can I try to light the fires again?
- "Of course. Unlike Zoreh's fateful night, we have the luxury of time."
Once you have lit the fires within the time limit, return to Aubatha:
- "And with the signal fires lit and our defenders alerted, Zoreh finally collapsed. Such courage drove our ancestors to victory against the warlord and his band.
- To understand her sacrifice is to understand Bergama."
- I see. What now?
- "Now, I bid you a fond farewell. You honored our city by respecting Zoreh's memory. Tall Papa look kindly upon you. May you always find water and shade."
Returning to BredaEdit
At this point, you can ask Aubatha about Zoreh's story if you already done so. In any case, return to Breda:
- "Back from Bergama? I could never get used to the heat and sand."
- I completed the Signal Fire Sprint.
- "Ah, Zoreh's tale is a lovely one. Bergama's celebration honors the sacrifices we must sometimes make, so that others may enjoy a new dawn.
- A toast to your swift legs!"

- 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.
