Family reunion
I met a Khajiit named Zhasim who was raised as part of an Orc clan. An old pack within the ancient ruins inside Bonerock Cavern contained a Khajiit medallion. Could it be a clue to Zhasim's origin?


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Show the medallion to Zhasim.
  2. Solve the puzzles.
  3. Help Zhasim explore the ruins.
  4. Talk to Zhasim to finish quest.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

To begin the quest, ensure you have picked up the prerequisite quest and spoken to Murukh, Avreg and Zhasim, otherwise the "old backpack" will not be marked as such, Zhasim will not be where he needs to be, the blocks will not be rotatable, and none of the puzzles will be solvable.

In the center of the first rectangular room of the delve there is a dais, upon which there should be a backpack bearing the text "old backpack". To begin the quest, open this pack and discuss its contents with the nearby NPC Zhasim. You will then be faced with a puzzle.

Puzzle 1: To solve the puzzle, there is a journal near a dead Argonian that gives some clues. Also, on the walls of the cavern are plaques with the same symbols as the prayer wheels. Note that the candles are only lit in front of three of these plaques: the hammer on the left side, and the torch and wolf on the right side as you enter the cavern. The correct order is torch, hammer, wolf as you face the door.

Puzzle 2: In the next chamber, you find a note with a riddle. You need to examine the items in the correct order: sarcophagus with the knight mural, open sarcophagus (hunt-wife mural), tapestry, table (mural of seated king).

Puzzle 3: The next room you enter, read the note then pick up the 3 vases. Place vases with moon motifs next to a pool. The tall vase goes in the center.

Go to the next room and talk to Zhasim.

Notes[edit]

  • Zayshara's First Note gives details on Zhasim's background.
  • The King's Riddle note doesn't exist in the ruins before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.
    • It also lacks the typical golden glow of readable notes.
    • The same doesn't apply for The Moon's Rhyme note.

Bugs[edit]

  • During the second puzzle, items that have already been interacted in the correct order can still be interacted with again afterward. Additionally, if messing up the order, the puzzle doesn't reset itself and you can continue from where you were in the order, though these two things combined can add some confusion during the sequence. ?

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.
