The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Lost Histories

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Lost Historics

After fencing 400 gold in items, speak to S'Krivva in Bravil. She will tell you that another thief, Theranis, was sent to steal the book Lost Histories of Tamriel from a wizard in Castle Skingrad. You have to recover the book for the Gray Fox, with or without Theranis.

Travel to Skingrad and talk to any of the beggars to discover that Theranis has been arrested after drunkenly bragging about stealing the book at a Skingrad tavern. You'll have to get into Skingrad dungeon to talk to him.

Once you've gained access to the prisoner's cells, it quickly becomes obvious that Theranis is nowhere to be seen. Only one prisoner is currently a guest of the dungeon, Larthjar the Laggard, a Nord hailing from Imperial City.

Speak to Larthjar and you discover that a "Pale Lady" takes prisoners from their cells regularly, and when they've been taken for a third time they don't return. It seems Theranis has made his third journey with her days ago and she has now taken his Argonian cell-mate. Larthjar indicates that the Argonian put up a struggle and he was bleeding when he was taken.

Looking around the other cells you will notice that there is a trail of blood leading to a blank wall. A macabre 'trail of breadcrumbs'...

The trail of blood ends at the wall at the end of the passageway between the prisoner's cell. Looking around the wall you will notice that the sconce to the right of the wall marked as a "Strange Candle" can be activated - opening a secret passage.

Following the trail of blood through a roughly hewn tunnel will lead you to another wall, this time with a lever on the left. Activating the lever opens the wall, leading back into the halls of Castle Skingrad.

The trail of blood continues to the Skingrad wine cellar (the very one Shum gro-Yarug said he better not catch you in if you took the slop drudge job). The trail ends at a large wine cask - but logic dictates finding a switch to open yet another secret door. Looking around the other wine cask to the right where blood is also present will allow you to find another 'strange candle' switch - activate this to open the wine cask.
