| *** Part III - Numidium Reborn *** |

The Totem (Level Req: 14, Quest Req: 5. The Lich's Soul, 6. The Letter Retrieved, 15. Woodborne Hall): After completing the initial main quests, Lady Brisienna will contact you to meet in Wayrest. She will task you with retrieving the Totem of Tiber Septim. Queen Aubk-i had it stolen from Lord Woodborne and it is now in the vault of Castle Daggerfall.

From Castle Daggerfall, go to the thrones and take the door to the left of King Gothryd. Follow the passage to a large chamber.

To retrieve the Totem:

• If you can levitate: Walk to the end of the floating platform, look Northwest, and levitate to the bridge leading to a door.

If you cannot levitate: Look down from the platform to find a small bridge below. Drop onto it, go South into the room, and turn right to find a bridge connecting to the central tower. Cross it, enter the tower, go up the stairs to the next floor, cross the bridge, and go through the door.

Continue West around the ledge and North through two doors to enter the vault area.

Go to the bottom of the room and fall into the water-filled pit. Take the left passage on the South wall, go down, and turn the wheel.

Return to find the vault lowered. Enter the right passage on the South wall.

You will find three chains: the left teleports you above the vault, the middle teleports you to ledges beside the vault, and the right casts water breathing. Pull the middle chain.

Either levitate or make a running jump from a high ledge onto the top of the vault. Pull the lever to open the vault.

The Totem is on the North side of the vault, in the middle chamber on the right side. Run off the nearby ledge into the chamber to grab it and escape.

Decisions (Level Req: 14, Quest Req: 16. The Totem): After leaving Castle Daggerfall with the Totem, various factions will compete for it. You have a year and a day to choose one faction to give the Totem to, effectively deciding the game's outcome. Your choices include The Emperor (via Lady Brisienna), Gortwog and the Orcs of Orsinium, King Gothryd and Queen Aubk-i of Daggerfall, King Eadwyre and Queen Barenziah of Wayrest, Queen Akorithi of Sentinel, The Underking, and The King of Worms. Some factions will reward you, while others may betray you. Attempting to use the Totem yourself is ill-advised.

The Mantellan Crux (Level Req: 14, Quest Req: 17. Decisions): After giving the Totem to your chosen faction, Nulfaga will contact you to meet her at Shedungent. Numidium cannot be awakened without the Mantella, which is located in the Mantellan Crux in Aetherius. This is the final quest. Prepare thoroughly, as there is only one way out of the Crux (grabbing the Mantella) or by teleporting out before entering. Nulfaga will only transport you to the Crux once; if you teleport out, you lose your chance. Ensure you have the ability to Levitate or Climb and Jump well.

Upon readiness, speak to Nulfaga to be transported to Aetherius. The Mantellan Crux is an unusual dungeon.

Area 1: The Islands: You will appear on a small floating island with a statue that casts Levitate when clicked. Rise upwards and find a switch on a small floating rock to the Southeast. Pull it, then descend to the island below the starting island.

Four doors will be floating in the air. Click the southernmost door (regardless of Frost Daedra actions). Float downwards to find a small chamber on the Eastern side of the island. Pull the switch, then float upwards.

High above the starting island, find an opening to the Southwest and enter it. If levitation wears off, return to the starting island for the statue to recast it (or use your own spell). Once inside the opening, levitate or climb up the shaft.

Follow the passage.
