Recover the genealogies of the Great Houses
The miniature model of Vvardenfell is nearly complete. One section remains missing, which Librarian Bradyn believes is the key to finding the lost Library of Andule.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

When you finally have all 30 rubbings and the model is nearing completion, Bradyn will be overjoyed.

Librarian Bradyn: "Welldone, outlanders. Welldone!"
"Our miniature model is nearly complete, my friend! All that remains is a single component - and that's the key to everything!"
Do you know how to find the lost Library of Andule now?
"Indubitably, thanks to your efforts. Every rubbing you brought back not only helped complete the model, but it also provided another clue as to the location of the lost library. What isn't present is the key!"
What do you mean, what isn't present?
"That gap in the model - that's where we'll find the lost Library of Andule! Once you go and locate the exact spot, we can start examining the records related to our earliest Velothi settlers.
What do you say? Ready for one more adventure?"
All right. I'll go the location indicated on the model and see what I can find.
"Study the gap in the model and go to that location in Vvardenfell. If the lost Library of Andule still exists, that's where we'll find it!"

After speaking with Librarian Bradyn, you can examine the Missing Diorama Chunk of the model of Vvardenfell:

<Perhaps the Library of Andule is hidden somewhere in the missing section.>

Enter the Library of Andule. It can be found in the region still missing in the model of Vvardenfell (map). Read the stone tablet there.

Examining the first three tiles shows you the letter S for Summerset (S), E for Exile (E) and M for Morrowind (M). Further in the room tiles with those three letters can be safely stepped on if the first tile was the S one, any other will teleport you to the beginning.

Light the Brazier of Wisdom to the north and the Brazier of Knowledge to the southeast to solve the puzzle. After that you can freely traverse the room and enter the ancient vaults through the doorway in the east wall.

The answers for the ancestor spirits are:

House Dres
"House Dres holds slavery to be their sacred right and duty."
"Because Dres feeds Morrowind with its agricultural might."
"Dres believes Dunmer should keep to themselves and focus on improving Morrowind."
House Hlaalu
"Succeed at business and turn a tidy profit."
"Compromise while always seeking to obtain the best possible deal."
"Acknowledge Dunmer culture, but adapt as necessary to succeed."
House Indoril
"Religion."
"Be preserved at all costs."
"Outsiders may visit, but they must always be watched carefully."
House Redoran
"To fulfill your duty and maintain your honor."
"We must accept and endure the harshness of life."
"The way of the warrior."

House Telvanni has no ancestor spirit guarding its vault, but its book does not appear until the others have been picked up.

Notes
* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
