Collect the silver ore for the Wayward Guardians
The Wayward Guardians need silver ore to coat their arms and armor in order to better fight against the Gray Host. Ardanir asked me to bring him some from the Dwarven ruins of Bthar-Zel.


Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Travel to Bthar-Zel.
  2. In the main chamber collect the Enchanted Silver Ore.
  3. Return to Ardanir in Markarth.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Ardanir would have you collect silver ore from the Dwarven ruins of Bthar-Zel. Silver has a proven effect against creatures like the vampires and werewolves of the Gray Host, and the Wayward Guardians need some so they can coat their weapons and armor in it. The ore from Bthar-Zel has been enchanted which makes it especially potent.

Travel to Bthar-Zel teleporting to the Arkthzand Wayshrine and heading north to the ruin's entrance. In the large western chamber with the waterwheel, you can find the Enchanted Silver Ore. Collect three pieces of ore and then return to Markarth to hand the over to Ardanir.

Here's the silver ore you asked for.
"Perfect, harrier! This will give us the edge we need against the Gray Host.
Take this with my thanks. Once again, you prove yourself to be a true friend to the Reach."

* 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.
