Detailed Walkthrough

The next quest in the series details Sharnoga gra-Mal telling you that the only Dwemer ruin she knows in that area is the Dwemer ruin of Mzungleft. The ruin is northwest of Necrom. Make your way to Necrom (Directly east of Akamora near the coast, reachable via Silt Strider) and on the map, you'll see there is no land connected to the NW of where Necrom is, only a couple islands.

Make your way NW of Necrom, across the water. Your goal is to get to the southern end of the larger island closer to the mainland. As you approach the area, you should see a Dwemer tower jutting out of the rock, into the sky.

The icon on the map is a cave named Ahhesha.

It's right next to a big rock arch. Go under the rock arch, west, and turn left, south, a few paces after the rock arch. Go up the hill and the entrance to Mzungleft is on the left side of the ruins at the almost top of the hill.

The immediate first room will contain an enemy or two. From here we can go south through a cave or southwest down a corridor. On your way through the entirety of this quest and in the ruins, keep looting barrels for gems/ore/whatever you want to loot.

Moving south through the cave, you'll come across a big hole with some stone stairs in it, and a chest at the bottom. Pick it if you want and then go back up and keep moving through the cave. You'll come across a dead looter, a note on a crate, and Skooma next to the looter's bedroll. Loot what you want from the crates, and then go back the way you came, since there's nothing else of note in the cave portion of the ruins. The note here is not required for the quest.

Moving southwest in the ruins deeper into the Dwemer ruins, you'll come across what looks like some kind of sewage chute, but it's actually lava, to the northwest, and to the southwest, another room full of enemies. Go through the room with enemies and follow it all the way down into a bigger room with a barrel or two, and a connecting room in the hall outside of the room but down the stairs from the passageway behind you, labeled Mzungleft, Destroyed Halls. Go through the hole.

Following the corridor downstairs, you'll come across some enemies and barrels, and a big pipe with water flowing into it. There's a levitation potion inside the pipe, but no treasure or anything. If you have high enough Acrobatics, you can just jump out of the pipe.

Moving through the same room to the north, you'll find two "Ancient Skeletons" and a journal entry that reads:

[This note is written in dried blood]

betrayed by L

but I got L

It seems our hero was the victim of his sidekick's jealousy after all. "Use" the skeletons, and you'll pick up Constantius' remains. Make sure to pick up the journal entry as well, of course. Also make sure to pick up the Ancient Adamantine Battleaxe, and the Steel Tanto, as both are required quest items, since they belonged to Constantius and his sidekick, Lenwyn, respectively.

Make your way out of the ruin and back to Sharnoga gra-Mal in the Old Ebonheart's Fighters Guild.

When reporting back to Sharnoga gra-Mal, she will state that Lenwyn and Constantius were kinsmen, it doesn't make sense that they would have killed each other. Talk to her about orders again to have her take the tanto with the engraved initials on it from you, and she'll mention that she investigated the third companion that joined them, that was mentioned in the previous journal entries, and someone matching that description joined the local Mages Guild at one point in time. Make your way to the Mages Guild in Old Ebonheart.

Speaking to Cellitara, she will tell you that Sharnoga was here asking about Constantius as well, about their third party member. The third party member was a mage named Kamara, and a piece of her research is there in the Mage's Guild for you to take. The scroll is in the same room, on the northern bookshelf, named "Ruminations on Illusion - Draft". The draft outlines how the mage used Constantius and Lenwyn as test subjects, unknown to them both, for her Frenzy spell research, ending in both of them murdering each other.

The location of Ruminations of Illusion, the scroll the player needs for the quest.

Reporting back to Sharnoga gra-Mal, she'll tell you that she knew something was up with Constantius' style of writing in the later entries, and isn't particularly surprised by the matter. She says as a reward to go see Ophelie downstairs in the Fighters Guild for Constantius' Axe, as a reward for solving the mystery of Constantius.

Head downstairs into the basement of the Fighters Guild, and speak to Ophelie at the little shop table on the southern side of the room, She'll comment that when she was re-forging it, the axe surged back to life, and seemingly becomes more powerful when the user of the axe is under certain negative magical effects (probably Frenzy). And with that, you have solved the mystery of the death of the hero, Constantius. The axe is named Unending.

10		Sharnoga gra-Mal in the Old Ebonheart Fighters Guild told me to head to Mzungleft, northwest of Necrom, and locate any more clues towards Constantius' remains. If I find Constantius' remains or his other possessions, I should bring them back and attempt to find the cause of his death.
20		I found a tanto with the initials 'LB' inscribed on the hilt.
30		I've located a journal page that indicates Lenwyn as Constantius' killer.
40		I gathered the remains of what I believe was Constantius.
55		I found an ancient axe that might belong to Constantius.
60		I brought Constantius' remains and axe to Sharnoga.
80		I showed Sharnoga the dagger and Constantius' note. Sharnoga isn't convinced Lenwyn did it, despite all of the evidence. Sharnoga investigated the mysterious companion, who appears to have gone on to be a great leader in the Mages Guild. I was instructed to investigate the Old Ebonheart Mages Guild.
90		Cellitara in the Old Ebonheart Mages Guild told me that Kamara died many years ago, but left behind some unpublished notes. She told me I should look for them in the building.
100		I found Kamara's notes and brought them back to Sharnoga. Constantius and Lenwyn killed each other under the effects of Kamara's frenzy spells and neither one realized it. Both will be given heroes' burials. Sharnoga told me to speak with Ophelie Vilifiene in the basement for another reward.
110	Finishes quest	Ophelie Vilifiene gave me Constantius' reforged axe. Its powerful enchantment grants the user strength when affected by specific negative magical effects.
