Volunruud: Silenced Tongues

Volunruud (Interior)

Enter the barrow. Beware of skeletons. Choose either path at the junction and search the entire area for a crypt containing an Archaic Nord Helmet sitting in a skull. The adjacent chamber has a Ceremonial Sword to take from the coffin. Watch for a Draugr ambush afterward.

• Ceremonial Sword

The path to the northwest leads to a tomb and a path leading down into a lower throne room with multiple floor traps and a Ceremonial Axe above the throne. Remove that from its wall coupling.

• Ceremonial Axe

Backtrack to the hub chamber and head north, to the Elder’s Cairn door. Place both ceremonial weapons into their slots, and the door grinds open.

Head to the Elder’s Cairn of Kvenel the Tongue, where the powerful Nord warrior’s spirit still haunts. The ghost brandishes two very real versions of the ceremonial weapons you found earlier. Defeat the foe, watching out for his Shouts and Frost Thralls. Then search the corpse for the weapons themselves. Before leaving, check the upper steps that lead to a Word Wall.
