Previously, Davilas finished the available objectives in Markarth. Also, at the Orc stronghold Narzulbur, he issued the objective "Find the Forgemaster's Fingers". Now, Davilas will look for the Forgemaster's Fingers in Ansilvund, a Nordic ruin in the mountains between Windhelm and Riften.
After resuming at Ansilvund, Davilas reads "Of Fjori and Holgeir" on a table near the entrance. He takes this book, as it holds the clues to a pillar puzzle inside Ansilvund.
Then, Davilas enters the first zone of Ansilvund, the Ansilvund Excavation. Draugr and mages lurk within. Davilas will also hear the disembodied voice of Lu'ah Al-Skaven, who is not pleased that her work is being disrupted. When he first hears her voice, he takes on the objective "Kill Lu'ah Al-Skaven in Ansilvund".
Deep in Ansilvund Excavation, Davilas finds a set of symbol pillars. "Of Fjori and Helgir" contains the hint for the proper combination: eagle, snake, whale, and snake. When the pillars are set correctly, the nearby switch will open the door leading forward. Lu'ah's Journal and another copy of "Of Fjori and Helgir" are located on the table in the same area.
Then, Davilas enters the Ansilvund Burial Chambers. Look out for plenty of traps to protect the dead and their treasures from grave robbers.
In a room with four sarcophaguses, Davilas can find the Ansilvund Key. Taking it causes some Draugr to rise. Look out for the trap at the third level of this room.
In the boss room, Davilas finds Lu'ah Al-Skaven, who will raise the Draugr of Fjori and Holgeir to fight at her side. Lu'ah is the main threat with her powerful ice magic. Magic resistance and ice resistance will help against her. When she is defeated, the objective "Kill Lu'ah Al-Skaven in Ansilvund" is complete.
Davilas will find the ghosts of Fjori and Holgeir. They reward Davilas with the Ghostblade. Also, on the table with the Ghostblade, Davilas finds Stone of Barenziah #13. Nice. Lu'ah's corpse carries Lu'ah's Key.
The key unlocks the Master-level door leading to the treasure room. In the boss chest, Davilas finds the Forgemaster's Fingers. Now, he must "Bring the Forgemaster's Fingers to Mauhulakh" at Narzulbur. On the desk, Davilas also finds "Imperial Condolences", which provides some background to Lu'ah's madness.
Davilas finds a door back to Anzilvund Excavation. After unlocking the gate with Lu'ah's Key, he makes his way out of the ruin.
Davilas fast-travels back to Narzulbur. There, he turns in the Forgemaster's Fingers to Mauhulakh, the stronghold's chief. Mauhulakh names Davilas Orc-Kin. This means that Davilas is permitted to enter the Orc strongholds throughout Skyrim. Nice.
Next time, Davilas will carry out a Daedric quest related to the Orcs.
Thanks for watching!
