Black Book: The Sallow Regent

Reach the Black Book chamber by navigating your way through White Ridge Barrow [S.N16], which is also the dungeon for Solstheim Side Quest: Spider Crafting*. Inside White Ridge Sanctum, enter the crypt with a Word Wall and a Dragon Acolyte Priest named Dukaan. Defeat or avoid this foe and claim the Word of Power for the Cyclone Shout. The Black Book is on a pedestal on the chamber’s opposite side (below where you entered). Reach the pedestal containing the Black Book and read it. You are transported to Apocrypha.

Interior: Apocrypha

Chapter I: Dark Corridor

You are transported into the partial void, where strange hovering lanterns flit across a long and dark corridor. They are important as they provide light, and the darkness harms you. Watch out for the tentacles in the small pond near the pod, then set off down the dark and blackened path heading roughly south.

• Pod

Chapter I: Dark Pond

Continue south to a second tentacle pond and a pod, then turn west and walk up the sloping tunnel.

Chapter I: Corridor Ascension

When the lights go out, head up the steps to the south, attacking (or running past) a Lurker and winding your way up and around to the highest platform.

• Lurker

Chapter I: Black Book: The Sallow Regent

This area splits into two platforms before merging again. These narrow bridges have Lurkers to attack or avoid (there are three), before you head south and up to the final platform. Here you’ll find a vessel, two black tables with assorted items (including another random Spell Tome), and a Black Book. Open the book and choose one of the following powers:

• Seeker of Might (Combat skills are all 10% more effective)
• Seeker of Sorcery (Magic skills are all 10% more effective)
• Seeker of Shadows (Stealth skills are all 10% more effective)
• Lurker
