Detailed Walkthrough

The portal

While exploring through Necrom, you may come across the Argonian Researcher An'Xeh in the western reaches of the city. Speak to him, and he will explain that the Mages Guild is having an issue with Vaermina and one of their wizards:

What does the Mages Guild need me for?

"You know how powerful mages can be. We command the elements or make things from nothing. We can summon entities from across Oblivion. Even shape reality if you want to be grandiose about it.
But what if we … summon something terrible?"

A Mages Guild member summoned something terrible?

"Not yet. But if we don't stop it, one of Vaermina's nightmare Daedra could manifest in our world.
This portal leads to Warlock Vanton's Tower, the focus of the threat. Do you know other warriors? Gather them. This will be exceedingly dangerous."

All right, I'll go through the portal.

Make your way to Sanity's Edge either through the portal provided, or entering the trial in the southern reaches of the zone. Speak Scholar Arlance, who will explain the situation further and direct you to Wizard Twelvane. Here you will also be able to pick up the quest War Within but Sanity's Edge cannot be tackled alone and you will need to find a trial group to continue on any deeper.

"Ah, just in time. I was beginning to wonder if An'Xeh would find anyone willing to help us.
You are here to help us, are you not?"

Yes. Researcher An'Xeh said Warlock Vanton is in trouble?

"He's being plagued by a creature of nightmare called Ansuul the Tormentor. Vanton's as stubborn as a foot fungus, but even he can't hold on much longer.
The things I've heard about Ansuul ….

How can I help him?

"We need to send someone into Vanton's nightmare to confront Ansuul.
Wizard Twelvane is in charge of the spell that will take you into Vanton's mind. She'll know what she needs … and she'll want to meet you first. We can't underestimate Ansuul."

I'll talk to Wizard Twelvane.

"Good. We need all the help we can get to defeat Ansuul the Tormentor. Wizard Twelvane would say we need your help to save Vanton, too. But, I'm more scared of Ansuul at the moment.
Oh, and take this for agreeing to help us."

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.
