The first time you visit the canyon city of Markarth, you witness a brazen Forsworn attack on a market stall holder. Next time you enter the city, head along the right (north) side of the thoroughfare, along the canal, until you meet two men conversing outside a dwelling.

A cowled priest named Vigilant Tyranus is asking a Nord called Yngvar whether he’s seen any strange lights or unusual noises emanating from the house. Yngvar says he hasn’t, and Tyranus turns to you, asking similar questions.

Reply as you wish, and Vigilant Tyranus explains that he’s a Vigilant of Stendarr; he finds areas believed to be used for Daedra worship and removes the presence. Ask if he needs help, and he says to follow him into the Abandoned House.

Objective: Search the Abandoned House
Target: Locked door, inside the Abandoned House

The house’s interior is well lit. There is no rot on the furniture, and fresh food lies waiting to be prepared. Someone was here recently. Tyranus is startled by an odd sound and opens the door.

You swear a basket rolls across the room in front of you both. There’s both a faint moaning and a deep rumbling sound. A strange vapor hangs in the air. Tyranus is convinced something is amiss and heads down the stairs.

He shouts for the entity to show itself. Candles illuminate the gloom. The voice in your head tells you to open another door; try it and it is sealed shut...
