Detailed Walkthrough

Orders from Caius

The proverbial plot has thickened significantly by this point as Caius gives you a decoded copy of the original package you delivered to him, revealing that the Emperor intends to use you to fulfill the Nerevarine Prophecies, ensuring that things go his way. Caius will give you 200 gold and instructions to see Somutis Vunnis and Crulius Pontanian at Moonmoth Legion Fort (they are in the chapel and the services hall, respectively) before heading up to see the leaders of the Nerevarine Cult at Urshilaku Camp, Sul-Matuul, and Nibani Maesa. You can skip the visit to Moonmoth Legion Fort (just east of Balmora) if you don't need any useful scrolls and potions, but they can be very handy at low levels (talk to Crulius and Somutis about essential supplies to receive the items).

Visit the Urshilaku Camp

The camp is quite far, up on the northern coast of Vvardenfell (it should be marked on your in-game map at this point). You could just walk north through the foyadas, but the journey may be dangerous due to, among other things, large numbers of cliffracers. It is not too far depending on how many dungeons and towns you stop at along the way (of course, this is half the fun, or perhaps more). The quickest way is to take the silt strider or the guild guide from Balmora to Ald'ruhn, and, from there, take the silt strider to either Khuul or Maar Gan. The camp is a little way east from Khuul and north from Maar Gan. The journey from Khuul is shorter and safer, though there are almost no places of interest along the way.

The camp is small, so be careful not to miss it. The Ashlanders are not particularly friendly but if you remember what Hassour told you about giving thoughtful gifts (items, persuasion, bribes), you will make inroads into Urshilaku society easily. The hunters outside the yurts (huts) accept Trama Root, while Tussurradad accepts kwama eggs. Alternatively, a simple charm spell or a bribe of 100 gold will work on anybody (depending on your Speechcraft skill, 10 gold might work as well). If you are able to raise their disposition enough just via persuasion then you won't need to worry about gifts or bribes at all. In any case, once you have impressed one of residents, they will direct you to speak with Zabamund, Sul-Matuul's second, in his yurt. Zabamund will ask you to give him a reason to let you meet with the Ashkhan. Give him the honest answer - that you have learned a great deal about the Nerevarine prophecies and believe you fulfill them - and he will give you permission to speak with Sul-Matuul.

Meet with Zabamund

To speak with Zabamund you must raise your disposition with him to around 70 or higher first. When answering his question, a humble, honest answer will do the most in assuring him of your sincerity and seriousness. With this, Zabamund sends you to the Ashkhan's yurt to speak with Sul-Matuul. Alternatively, you can find out from Zabamund that his clan considers it honorable to give a gift of money, so you can offer a 200 gold tribute without bothering to raise his disposition.

Meet with Sul-Matuul

Fortunately, once you reach Sul-Matuul you have no need to raise his disposition as he will talk with you straight away. As an outlander, Matuul is unsure of your intentions, and requires you to pass an initiation rite in order to be adopted into the Urshilaku Tribe as a Clanfriend. You are asked to travel to the Urshilaku Burial Caverns and retrieve the Bonebiter Bow of Sul-Senipul, the weapon of his father. Upon returning with the bow, you will have proven your worth to the tribe. Directions to the caverns are given, but can be rather confusing. Head south-southeast from the camp for a short distance (the caverns are at -21650, 136400, 890 using the TDT command in the console; if you reach Abinabi cave, go east). Note that the actual name of the caverns is Urshilaku, Astral Burial (the chamber where you enter the caverns).

Urshilaku Burial Chamber

The caverns are larger than most of the tombs scattered throughout the island, and filled with skeletons and cave rats. Go through the Astral Burial chamber (the entrance area) into the Karma Burial, and then enter the Laterus Burial. You may visit the various chambers at each stage, but your goal lies within the Juno Burial, found at the top of the spiral. At the far end of this chamber you encounter the Wraith of Sul-Senipul who carries (but, of course, doesn't use) the Bonebiter Bow of Sul-Senipul you must retrieve.

Return to Sul-Matuul

Returning to Sul-Matuul at the Urshilaku Camp, he congratulates you on completing the initiation rite and names you Clanfriend of the Ashlanders, thereby permitting you to talk to Nibani Maesa. As a bonus, you get to keep the bow and rest in any bed in the camp, although he prohibits you from stealing from any other member of your new faction.

Meet with Nibani

Nibani is in the Wise Woman's Yurt and has lots of very important answers regarding the prophecy. When she has finished, ask her if you pass the test. It seems that although you are not the Nerevarine, you are one who may become the Nerevarine. In order to know more, Nibani asks you to find the lost prophecies and bring them to her, so that she may guide you better. She also gives you a copy of The Stranger and The Seven Visions relating to the Nerevarine Prophecy. Return to Caius for your next assignment and a reward of 400 gold.

Notes

  • There is a large amount of loot in the caverns. See Urshilaku Burial Caverns for details.
  • You can enter the Wise Woman's yurt immediately upon arriving in the camp, and get her to talk to you by raising her disposition. However, this may result in some dialogue options not being available since it is out of sequence with the quest.
  • In the cavern, remember to take the Magebane on a mummy at the top of the spiral.

Bugs

  • Speaking with Nuleno Tedas about the location of Urshilaku Camp prior to getting this quest may ruin the Main Quest order. ?
  • If you discovered the cave prior to the quest and killed the Wraith of Sul-Senipul without taking the bow (or lost the bow in some other way), you will be unable to complete this quest normally, as his corpse will disappear after the usual 3 days. ?
    • Ficheiro:Pc22.png You can give yourself the bow with the console command AddItem bonebiter_bow_unique 1.

{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=1|2=|3=Caius promoted me to Apprentice rank in the Blades, and gave me the Emperor's secret orders and told me to read them. The Emperor thinks the Nerevarine prophecies are genuine, and that I may be the Nerevarine. I'm being sent to the Urshilaku Camp to speak with the heads of the Nerevarine cult, Sul-Matuul and Nibani Maesa. I'll tell them my story, and tell them to test me against the Nerevarine prophecies, then report back to Caius. }}{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=5|2=|3=Nuleno Tedas gave me directions to Urshilaku camp. The camp is due north from Maar Gan, but high ridges lie in the way. Follow Foyada Bani-Dad, a deep ravine just north of Maar Gan, northwest to the sea. A shipwreck at the seamouth of the ravine is a landmark. Swim east around the headland. Pass east through the ruins of Assurnabitashpi Shrine. Urshilaku Camp lies east of the ruins, inland in a low hollow. }}{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=11|2=|3=I have slain an Urshilaku Ashlander.

Sul-Senipul was Sul-Matuul's father, and his spirit guards this bonemold long bow deep in the burial caverns. If I return to Sul-Matuul with this bow, he will adopt me into the Urshilaku tribe as a Clanfriend. And then Sul-Matuul will send me to the wise woman, Nibani Maesa, to be tested against the Nerevarine prophecies. }}{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=42|2=|3=I must go to Urshilaku Burial Caverns to retrieve Bonebiter, the bonemold long bow of Sul-Matuul's ancestor, Sul-Senipul.

He warns me that Ashlander ancestral spirits guard these burial chambers. }}{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=45|2=|3=I completed the initiation rite by bringing Sul-Senipul's Bonebiter Bow to Sul-Matuul.

But the Dissident Priests of the Temple study the Ashlander Nerevarine prophecies, and record them in books. Perhaps the lost prophecies can be found there. Nibani Maesa has asked me to go to the Dissident Priests, get them to show me the books, and to tell her what I find there. This sounds like something to mention to Caius. Maybe he'll know how to contact the Dissident Priests. }}{{Predefinição:FULLPAGENAME0/Line|1=60|2=yes|3=Nibani Maesa says I am not the Nerevarine, but I may become the Nerevarine. It seems she is willing to help me unravel the Nerevarine prophecies and my part in them. She tells me to seek the lost prophecies among the Dissident priests of the Temple. If I bring these lost prophecies to her, she will be my guide. And she gave me copies of the Nerevarine prophecies called 'The Stranger' and 'The Seven Visions'. Now it's time to report back to Caius. }}
