Previously, Davilas completed the Daedric quest "Boethiah's Calling". He also took out a dragon at Autumnwatch Tower in the Rift. Now, he will carry out a couple of Urag gro-Shub's quests to find books for the College of Winterhold.
The first quest that Davilas will do is "Shalidor's Insights". Davilas must find some of Shalidor's writings in the depths of Shroud Hearth Barrow.
After resuming, Davilas fast-travels to Shroud Hearth Barrow in Ivarstead. The inhabitants seem to respawn at their original levels here, so Davilas finds it an easy run. Even the boss encounter in the Shroud Hearth Depths is pretty easy.
Davilas finds "Shalidor's Insights" in the boss chest in Shroud Hearth Depths.
Next, Davilas will take care of one of Urag's objectives, "Find the copy of Arcana Restored". It is in Ragnvald, a Nordic ruin northeast of Markarth and west of Bthardamz.
So, Davilas fast-travels to Bthardamz and travels west. Along the way, he finds the Reach Imperial Camp. He also encounters a dragon.
Farther west, Davilas finds the Nordic ruin Ragnvald. After taking out the Draugr door wardens, he enters Ragnvald Temple. More Draugr await inside.
In the west of the temple, Davilas finds a sarcophagus locked by two large rings. Davilas must acquire two items to open it. One is to the north, the other to the south.
To the north, Davilas finds the Ragnvald Canal. In his exploration, he finds Torsten's Skull Key. When he takes this, he must fight Guardian Torsten and a gang of other Draugr. After dealing with this problem, Davilas returns to Ragnvald Temple.
To the south, Davilas finds the Ragnvald Crypts. More Draugr haunt these halls. Look out for them emerging from alcoves in the walls. However, they are quite susceptible to Sneak attacks if your Sneak level is high enough.
In the Crypts, Davilas finds Saerek's Skull Key. Upon taking it, Davilas must defeat Guardian Saerek and more Draugr.
Returning to Ragnvald Temple, Davilas uses the two Skull Keys to unlock the sarcophagus. This releases the dragon priest Otar the Mad, whom Davilas must now defeat. After taking him out, Davilas finds the Otar mask, which improves resistance to fire, frost, and shock. He also finds a Staff of the Storm Wall.
After Otar is defeated, the gate to the treasure room opens. In the boss chest, Davilas finds the copy of "Arcana Restored". This is what Urag gro-Shub asked for. Now, Davilas must "Return the book to Urag gro-Shub".
Also, Davilas finds a word wall. He learns "Peace", the second word of "Kyne's Peace".
After leaving Ragnvald, Davilas fast-travels back to the College of Winterhold. He goes to Urag in the Arcanaeum. First, he turns over Shalidor's Insights. "Shalidor's Insights" complete! Davilas also hands over the copy of "Arcana Restored" and earns a small amount of gold.
Next time, Davilas will continue questing.
Thanks for watching!
