Word has spread that the Divine Alkosh has descended to his mountain temple of Sunspire to be the Khajiits' savior in these troubled times.
<or>
I collected teeth from the false Alkosh. I should bring them to Azin-jo.
<or>
I recovered Time Wound Fragments [sic] from the summit. I should give them to Azin-jo.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Defeat Lokkestiiz, Yolnahkriin and Nahviintaas.
2. Speak with Moon-Bishop Azin-jo.

Detailed Walkthrough

Speak with Moon-Bishop Azin-jo to begin the quest:

"Alkosh's booming voice reaches farther with every passing day, bringing new pilgrims for me to greet! Come, bring your offerings and kneel before the Great Cat returned!"

The Great Cat returned?

"Yes, walker! Divine Alkosh has returned to this perch to call the Khajiit who have strayed back to him! Though any who hear his word and obey are welcome here."

Who is Alkosh?

"Who is Alkosh? Gak! Riddle'Thar has kicked sand over the First Cat so long that his name is forgotten!
Alkosh is the first divine: the Dragon King of Cats! The Khajiit have strayed from him, but he's returned to right our path! Come, see for yourself!"

Very well. I'll meet Alkosh.

If you fail to get the quest from Moon-Bishop Azin-jo at the start of the trial, the quest can still be received by looting Nahviintas's corpse. You will usually receive the Teeth of the False Alkosh to show to Moon-Bishop Azin-jo.

<Teeth from the false Alkosh lay strewn about from from our battle. I should take them to Bishop Azin-jo as proof of the heretic Dragon's defeat.>

Bishop Azin-jo will want to see these.

If Hard Mode was completed, you will instead receive the Tongue of the False Alkosh.

<I cut the lying tongue from the false Alkosh after our battle. I should take it to Bishop Azin-jo as proof of the heretic Dragon's defeat.>

Bishop Azin-jo will want to see this.

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.
