Location[edit]

Where is this located in Castle Dour? I looked everywhere, only thing I could find was The Rearguard.--RumblePen 12:22, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

I seem to remember a radiant quest from someone in the Castle to retrieve this book (Possibly others too). Maybe it is there after giving the book in? --46.64.31.105 15:24, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
I had the radiant quest active, so I decided to test it out. It's from Captain Aldis - he asks you to get the book so his men can learn from it. Oddly enough, my quest marker directed me to the copy in the Palace of the Kings in Windhelm, which I had to steal. So I went ahead and took it, returned to Aldis, and he accepted the stolen copy! One less skill book in the Stormcloaks' possession is probably a good deed in Aldis' mind, lol.
When he takes it he thanks you and says something about having copies made for his men to study. Afterwards I tried following him around to see if he put the book anywhere, or if any copies showed up. He didn't appear to do anything unusual, and I found no copies in the castle. The copy I gave him has remained in his inventory for days now.
So I'm thinking whoever added the Castle Dour location to the Skill Book list was confused by the "having copies made" comment, which is really just flavor text. Technically, you could steal back the copy you gave to him, but I don't think that really counts, since it's not a new instance of the book. I tried to remove it from the article, but it's one of those kinds where the information I need to edit is actually being pulled from somewhere else, and I don't know where.
