Detailed WalkthroughEdit

ChoresEdit

Once you reach the rank of Mouth, Baladas Demnevanni at Arvs-Drelen in Gnisis will ask you to find an ancient summoning ring belonging to Dahrk Mezalf who worked as a smith under the great Dwemer inventor Kagrenac (whom you may have heard of already). Baladas believes that the ring can be found in the Dwemer village of Bthungthumz.

Dahrk MezalfEdit

Bthungthumz is located northwest of Maar Gan and southwest of the Urshilaku Camp. The ruins inside are quite small and you should quickly find Mezalf's Spirit haunting the place.

Return to Baladas with the ring for a reward of a Shock Centurion guard (unless you killed it before) and a Ring of Lightning Storm. The guard will follow you around for the rest of the game, or until it dies. Use recall or intervention to escape if you don't want the guard to follow you.

NotesEdit

  • It is probably a good idea not to do this quest, and to instead kill Dahrk Mezalf for his ring on your own. The shock centurion following you around everywhere is more aggravating than useful, and you can find rings of lightning storm in generic loot. Dahrk Mezalf's ring is a unique and potentially useful enchanted object.
  • Although Demnevanni states that Dahrk Mezalf's ring is a summoning ring, it actually has no summoning enchantments to speak of; only the ability to demoralize and disintegrate.
  • If the Dwemer Shock Centurion is alive, you receive +20 disposition with Baladas. If dead, you receive only +15.

10 Baladas Demnevanni asked me to bring him one of Dahrk Mezalf's summoning rings. Dahrk Mezalf was one of Kagrenac's smiths, sometimes called Mezalf Bthungthumz, and he may have lived in the colony of Bthungthumz which is somewhere between Maar Gan and the coast to the north.
