Ansilvund: A Love Beyond Death*

Ansilvund Excavation

A Necromancer complains about babysitting an army of enthralled Draugr that are being used as slaves to excavate the ruins.

The cavern darkens, and an enraged spirit, professing to be Lu’ah Al-Skaven, threatens you for disturbing her work.

• Miscellaneous Objective: Kill Lu’ah Al-Skaven in Ansilvund

Puzzle Solution: After killing the conjurer and the Draugr, check the cobwebbed stone buttress wall under the four movable pillars. From left to right, they have the following petroglyph signs: Hawk, Snake, Whale, Snake. Match those to the pillars, activate the lever, and open the portcullis to the south.

Lu’ah’s Journal can be found on a table here. Take a moment to learn her tale: the sorceress was attempting to resurrect her dead husband.

• Lu’ah’s Journal

Ansilvund Burial Chambers

A disembodied voice laments that she “could not raise him” but will avenge his defilement!

Lu’ah faces you, screeches that her husband’s body was burned, and attacks. Fjori and Holgeir (the Draugr Thralls that were to be the vessels for Lu’ah and her dead husband) also attack. Once all foes are dead, a ghostly image of Fjori and Holgeir appear, reunited now that Lu’ah is dead. The following can be taken from the altar:

• Unusual Gem
• Ghostblade
