Detailed WalkthroughEdit
The ProjectionEdit
As you travel on the road near the Library of Dusk, a spectral figure of a Dunmer will appear some distance away and then walk up to you. Speaking to the figure will reveal that it is the Projection of Kireth Vanos, who is need of some help for both her and her companions.
- "You're a real live person, aren't you? I thought I was all alone out here. I bet you came from that city over there.
Could you help me, please?" - Why can I see through you?
- "I'm a projection, silly! My brother and I are part of the Mages Guild expedition. Well, freelancers, really. We got separated from the others as soon as we arrived in Coldharbour.
But we're not slacking off. We're investigating this old library." - So what's the problem?
- "We drew straws and I wound up on watch duty. When I saw Daedra seal the entrance, I found another way inside. To rescue my brother, you know? But now I'm trapped, too.
There's a lot of magical projection stuff in here. That's how I'm talking to you." - How can I help?
- "The Mages Guild gathered a team of the best dungeon-delvers from across the three alliances, members of the Undaunted, just in case they ran into any ruins or relics. My brother went into the old library with a couple of other treasure-hunters."
- And that's when the Daedra showed up?
- "You got it. Look, my brother's the expert, but I think the Daedra are using the projection lenses to spy on the people trapped in the library. As long as the lenses are active, the doors won't open.
I'm thinking sabotage is in order." - So I should destroy the lenses?
- "That's my thought! I'll provide whatever help I can from in here. I can tell you this: one of the other scholars, she called this place the Library of Dusk. Couldn't wait to start exploring.
Please hurry. Whatever the Daedra want, it can't be good."
Breaking the LensesEdit
Kireth Vanos wants you to destroy the lenses both to stop any Daedra spying and to hopefully unlock the library. After agreeing to help her, you will receive Raynor's Divination Rod, the device will allow Kireth to stay in contact with you while you destroy the three Daedric Lenses. The lenses will be on platforms on the outskirts of the ruins' exterior. As you travel between the lenses, you will need to deal with a variety of Daedra wandering the ruins, including several types of Dremora and Cold-Flame Atronachs.
As you approach a lens, the projection will appear and follow you, once a lens is destroyed, Kireth will attempt to show you what is happening within the library.
- Kireth's First Attempt
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "Is it working? Can you see me? I'll try to show you what's going on inside the library while you smash those lenses. Here goes …."
As the projection channels power into the broken lens, images of three scholars appear - Raynor Vanos and two Mad Scholars. Both Mad Scholars turn into two more copies of Raynor Vanos, then all three fade away.
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "Did you see that? I'll make some adjustments while you search for the next lens."
- Kireth's Second Attempt
- Once you destroy the second lens, Kireth will appear having made some adjustments and she will try again, being confident that her adjustments have fixed the problem.
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "It's working! I switched the widgets with the gadgets and that seemed to do the trick. Now let's see if I can get a view into the other part of the library …."
Instead of the library, the projections show a bunch of dancing Dremora.
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "That was … unexpected. I must be doing something wrong. I'll give it one more try while you hunt down the last lens."
- Kireth's Third Attempt
- Once you have destroyed the final lens, Kireth will try again to get a clear image of her brother's current situation.
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "All right, I think I made the proper adjustments. Now let's see if I can spot my brother …."
The resulting projection won't be Raynor but it does show the current situation of Telenger the Artificer and Lady Clarisse Laurent who are also trapped in the library. It appears that Raynor has already fallen under an enchantment while the other two are succumbing to it.
- Telenger the Artificer: "Lady Laurent, we need to get out of here. This place is a trap. Young Raynor has already been caught in its spell."
- Lady Clarisse Laurent: "Oh, Telenger, let's just stay here. You and I. Forever."
- Telenger the Artificer: "No, the glamour has taken you as well!"
- Lady Clarisse Laurent: "Come, my dear. Let us find a quiet corner among all these beautiful books."
- Telenger the Artificer: "She's lost. Damn! I need to escape before I also succumb to the spell. I'll leave them a note in case the effects wear off."
After the scholars' projections fade, Kireth will wonder why she hasn't been affected by the magic yet. She will then tell you to meet her in the gallery of the ruins.
- Projection of Kireth Vanos: "A spell? Why haven't I been affected? Wait, I just heard the door unlock! It should be safe now. Come meet me in the gallery at the top of the ruins."
Kireth in the FleshEdit
The entrance to the Library is located in the near center of the ruins' exterior. Once you reach it, head down the stairs and enter the Library to find Kireth. You will not need to look for long, as she will be near the stairs leading to the entrance, fruitlessly banging on a window and trying to get her brother's attention.
- Kireth Vanos: "Raynor? Raynor! He can't hear me. Why can't he hear me? Raynor!"
Speak with Kireth to see what is wrong.
- "I can see Raynor through this observation window, but he can't hear me. It must be the spell … and I bet the spell didn't affect me because I'm not attuned to whatever catalyst controls the magicka matrix."
- The magicka matrix?
- "You know, the spell web. A pretty elegant trap, really. I think the spell's catalyst has something to do with an interest in knowledge. I'd be insulted, but what can I say. I'm in this for adventure, not scholarly pursuits.
And thanks, by the way."
In way of payment she will give you some gold and a staff. You can continue speaking with her if you want to help her save the ensorcelled scholars.
NotesEdit
- After destroying a lens, it is not required to stay and watch the ensuing scene with Kireth's projection in order for the objective to progress.
BugsEdit
- The projection of Kireth Vanos will continue to appear before you from time to time as you move around the exterior ruins like she does when first appearing to give you the quest, even after you have started it. ?

- 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.
