Tamriel Rebuilt:The Death of Oirdo Malamartle

A reclusive Lich and a follower of Stendarr. It can only end badly - but for who? Quest Giver: Hautharmo Location(s): Malarnubi Reward: Mysteries of the Worm OR Daedric Longsword and Mysteries of the Worm. ID: TR_m4_wil_HautharmoKill

The lich, Hautharmo, prefers seclusion.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Explore Malarnubi, north of Oran Plantation, and enter Hautharmo's Sanctum.
2. Travel to the Pyr-Ilu Lookout and either:
   • Kill Oirdo Malamartle and return to Hautharmo for your reward (Mysteries of the Worm) or...
   • Tell Oirdo that Hautharmo wants him dead, and refuse to tell him where Hautharmo is. Return to the Lich and hope you're believable.
   • Ask to join Oirdo in killing Hautharmo.
3. If joining forces, meet Oirdo in Malarnubi's Antechamber. Find the phylactery.
4. Once you have found the phylactery, you need to equip it. This will bring up the message allowing you to destroy it. Do so.
5. Tell Oirdo you are ready to enter the sanctum and defeat Hautharmo.
6. Kill Hautharmo, and the quest will complete.
   • Hautharmo carries a Daedric Longsword and Mysteries of the Worm.

Phylactery location hint

Try diving deep, and looking for something clasped in bony hands.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Hautharmo, an ancient lich, wants me to kill Oirdo Malamartle, a crusader of Stendarr who is likely to cause the lich some nuisance. Malamartle can be found in the Pyr-Ilu Lookout tower, north of Malarnubi grotto. Hautharmo warned me not to return until the crusader is dead.
50		I've told Oirdo Malamartle where Hautharmo can be found. Oirdo Malamartle thinks that there might be a way to defeat the lich, but I need to find the lich's phylactery. Malamartle suspects it might be hidden somewhere in Malarnubi. The phylactery is likely an amulet or a gem-stone of some kind. Malamartle said he'd meet me in the antechamber of Hautharmo's lair.
60		I've decided to let Oirdo Malamartle live, but didn't reveal to him the location of Hautharmo's lair. I should return to Malarnubi and see if I can lie to Hautharmo that the knight is dead.
75		Oirdo Malamartle is dead. I should report back to Hautharmo.
100		I let Hautharmo know that Oirdo Malamartle is dead. The lich gave me a rare book, Mysteries of the Worm, and told me to leave him in peace.
105		I lied to Hautharmo that I had killed Oirdo Malamartle, and the lich believed me. Hautharmo gave me a rare book, Mysteries of the Worm, and told me to leave him in peace.
110		Hautharmo didn't believe my lie about me killing Oirdo Malamartle.
150		I've told Oirdo Malamartle that I'm ready to confront Hautharmo.
