Anoint the remains
Priestess Brela believes the tormented spirits of a Dark Elf army haunt Vivec's Antlers. They died in a great conflict with the Akaviri. She was captured while consecrating their bones.


Quick Walkthrough[edit]

  1. Anoint nine remains near Vivec's Antlers.
  2. Return to Priestess Brela.

Detailed Walkthrough[edit]

Priestess Brela is being held captive aboard the ship docked at the Dagger's Point Invasion Camp, north of Vivec's Antlers.

"I knew someone would come to free me. Vivec wouldn't allow his priestess to suffer like this.
He sent you, didn't he?"
Vivec didn't send me, but maybe I can help.
"Then help me complete my task.
Here we defeated the Akaviri. Vivec flooded the plain. His children breathed water while the Akaviri drowned. Yet some who died cannot rest. We must consecrate their bones."
Is that how you got captured? Consecrating bones?
"Do not disparage, youth. These are Vivec's children. They died for Morrowind and for him.
We must provide for their rest. Anoint any remains you find with this sacred oil. That will sooth their spirits."
If you promise to leave, I'll do as you ask.

You need to anoint nine remains. They look like skeletons lying on the ground, and are scattered around Vivec's Antlers. As you approach them, you will see the quest marker appear, although it may be easier to look for skeletons on the ground. The spirits of those who died may appear after you anoint the remains and talk briefly about the flood or what they were doing when they died.

Once all nine corpses have been anointed, you need to talk to Priestess Brela. She is located east of Vivec's Antlers and north of the Vivec's Antlers Wayshrine. She thanks you for anointing Vivec's children and rewards you for your service.

"Did you find the bones and bless them?"
I anointed all I found.
"Vivec's children can rest now. I feel it in my bones. You are kind to perform this service for the heroes of the past.
Vivec! We thank them for our freedom today. No foe can stand against the Three!"

Quest Stages[edit]

Cleansing the Past
Finishes Quest Journal Entry
Priestess Brela gave me sacred oil and asked me to anoint the bones of any Dark Elf soldiers I find around Vivec's Antlers. She believes that will allow them to rest in peace.
Objective: Anoint Remains: 0/9
Finishes quest☑ I've anointed many bones among the dead of Vivec's Antlers. I must return to Priestess Brela and let her know the task is done. She has likely returned to the Pact camp in Vivec's Antlers.
Objective: Return to Priestess Brela
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.
