Introduction Ancestral Tombs Hunter

Ancestral Tombs Hunter Achievement

The quest starts in the Library in Vivec’s City, talk to the librarian Bradyn. The quest is called “The Ancestral Tombs”. The Librarian will give you the location of the first Tomb. He will tell you to go get the “rubbings” of the tomb stones. There is a total of 30 tomb stones in Morrowind. Once you gave all the 30 rubbings to the Librarian, he will give you a new quest and send you to the Lost Library of Andule. You will get the “Librarian” title, once you complete the second quest you will also get the Vardenfell Scale Model for your House!

Now you must find the right way to light the three braziers. It is pretty simple, follow always the three symbols, as long as you do not step on any other symbols you are good to go:

  2. Be preserved at all cost.
  3. Outsiders may visit, but they must always be watched carefully.
