Dark Conjurations*
Summoning Men of Bone, Mist, and Wrath
Within the Soul Cairn, three special Spell Tomes have been left by unknown hands. They provide conjuration practitioners with everything they need to summon their own Bonemen, Mistmen, and Wrathmen to aid them in battle. These spell books can be found at the following locations:
Spell Tome: Conjure Boneman
Soul Graveyard: Once you’ve moved across the barrier wall, head northwest toward the cluster of larger and imposing buildings in the northeast corner of the Soul Cairn. Look for the Black Minster (the long building on the north horizon with a floating crystal above it). To the left (west) of that, close to where Keeper 1 rests, is a Soul Graveyard. In the middle is an altar. The Spell Tome rests on the obsidian plinth below it. Prepare for a Boneman ambush after you grab the book.
- Spell Tome: Conjure Boneman
Spell Tome: Conjure Wrathman
Keeper’s Altar: This is located in the southeast corner of the Soul Cairn, along the eastern path just past the tower where the second Keeper resides, between the Keeper’s tower and the Reaper’s Lair. Enter this small, arched structure, and claim the Spell Tome from atop the altar. Beware of a Wrathman ambush once you take the tome.
- Spell Tome: Conjure Wrathman
Spell Tome: Conjure Mistman
Foundation Altar: Southeast of the Boneyard Citadel and northeast of Arvak’s Skull is a stepped area leading to an open altar, close to the perimeter barrier (to the east) and just east of the teleport to Keeper 3. Beware of Bonemen guarding this altar, which has the Spell Tome: Conjure Mistman on it. Below it is Jiub’s Opus, next to a coin purse and Soul Gem. Watch for a Mistman ambush after the book has been swiped.

Postquest Activities
You can read all three books regardless of your Conjuration Skill level. If you have enough skill or Magicka to cast these spells, you can summon the denizens of the Soul Cairn to fight for you as your adventure continues.
