Dragonborn - The Path of Knowledge

Basically this quest requires you to find the Black Books which are the source of Miraak's power and use them to destroy him.

You need to head off to Neloth a Telvanni Wizard in Tel Mithryn who has one of the Black Books.

I loved the varied areas and different architecture of each Dunmer Tribe in Morrowind but never really went for the Mushroom houses. My preference was for the Hlaalu style of house in Balmora and the player house in the game was the best IMHO followed by the Redoran and the Telvani last. Having said that the rendition of the Mushroom houses in Dragonborn are so much better and I can now see the huge appeal they had in Morrowind.

You may pass a nice reference to Morrowind by seeing a strider on your way to Neloth. Unfortunately you cant use it to go anywhere, a missed opportunity I thought.


Another reference to Morrowind is getting up to Neloth's chamber. I know I loved the 'Boots of the Apostle' in Morrowind and used them all the time to levitate.



When you ask Neloth about the Black Books he tells you that the one he has is of no use but he know where one is that will help.

Follow him to a Dwemer ruin called Nchardak.
 
You need to go through the several sequences to get to the Black Book 'Epistolary Acumen' and all in all it is a very interesting quest. I loved the attention to detail and the design of the Dwemer Ruin and that goes for all of Skyrim as a whole.





Once you read the book the next quest starts, The Gardner of Men.
