Detailed Walkthrough

Odrosal Citadel

Once you've talked to Vivec about the plan to defeat Dagoth Ur, the location of the Keening Artifact should be mark on your in-game map, the Citadel of Odrosal, just South East of Dagoth Ur's Citadel in the center of the island (named as the Dwemer Training Academy).

Dagoth Odres

The forth Ash Vampire, Dagoth Odres is in the main chamber to the North and has a magic item which you should take, as well as the key to the tower.

Keening

The Keening Short Sword is found in the tower. Overall, the citadel is small and doesn't hold too much other than some gems and Dwemer weapons. Note that Keening is a Short Blade, so if you don't have a good Short Blade skill, run to a town and get it trained up as high as you can.
