Meridia’s Beacon

Take this Beacon, and as you exit the interior location, and every day thereafter, you hear a voice inside your head. It becomes increasingly alarmed at your lack of interest in helping the Solar Daughter, Meridia. When you wish to start this quest (if only to rid yourself of Meridia’s alarming cranial lurking), find the Statue to Meridia.

The other way this quest can start is if you trek to Mount Kilkreath, in the mountain range west of Solitude.
