"You there! Don't run off screaming, there's a perfectly reasonable explanation for this."
I found a strange talking doll. The soul trapped inside insists that the Dragon Cult is responsible for imprisoning her. She seems confident that if I help gather her belongings, she can use them to reclaim her body.

Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Talk with the Heiruna Doll and put her in your pack.
  2. Enter Dragonhome.
  3. Find Heiruna's personal belongings around ruins.
  4. Find the altar.
  5. Talk to the freed Heiruna.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

As you approach Dragonhome, you'll come across a talking doll. Her name is Heiruna, and she explains that her soul was trapped in the doll by a member of the resurgent Dragon Cult because Heiruna intended to expose the cult to the authorities. Heiruna asks you to pick her up, find her belongings and bring her to an altar so she can be restored to her original form.

Pick up the Heiruna Doll and enter Dragonhome. Heiruna's Knife is located in the first large area west of the entrance. Once you enter the courtyard, head south, and enter the summoning area. The knife is located on an altar guarded by an Air Atronach and a Dragon Cult Alchemist. Head west once you've found the knife. Keep heading west until you reach a room with an archery range. From there, move north until you reach a room with another summoning chamber. Heiruna's Mirror is located on the altar by the northern wall. Once you have the mirror, keep moving west, passing the room with the creek. In the hallway west of that room, start moving north. Heiruna's Goblet is in the next room, on the altar to the north.

Once you've gathered all of Heiruna's personal effects, head through the hallway to the north and follow it east. The altar is past the cult's leader, in the area just west of the delve's entrance. Don't jump down the ledge to the south just yet; the altar is located in the northeastern corner of this room, and all you need to do is keep heading east from the cult leader's room. If you jump down now, you'll have to navigate the delve all over again. Place Heiruna and her belongings on the altar, and speak with the restored mage to be rewarded for your deeds.

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.
