He will reveal that the crystal is likely a Daedric artifact and allows the wielder to create an alternate world within the planes of Oblivion, of limited scale. Once a day has passed in-game, head back to the priory (there will be a quest update for this) and speak with Arnand. Head back to Arnand and he'll say that he needs time to examine the crystal. When examined, a dialogue will reveal a crystal was buried within the pages and the quest will update. Once the entrance is found, enter and look for his journal. The easiest way to reach the lair is to exit from the rear door of the prior and look on the ground near the trees beyond that door. Talking to other priors is not required, but can help in searching for the entrance. He will reveal that, years previously, the priors had expelled a fellow prior for not showing restraint and was deep into necromancy.Īfter that, Arnand will task the Dragonborn/Traveler to find his hidden lair.

However, if any sub-quest is done before meeting Brother Arnand, the main quest will start with the first objective in the journal as 'Find out more about the Crystal Fragment', and the Dragonborn/Traveler will have a direct quest marker pointed towards Brother Arnand.īrother Arnand can normally be found within the priory, or by the pond to the left of the main building. This quest can be started by talking to Brother Arnand.
