Malarnubi Grotto

Malarnubi is the riverbed home of the Lich, Hautharmo, and entrance to the hidden ruin of Emmurbalpitu.

To reach the grotto entrance, follow the road north from Oran Plantation, until the river comes close to the road, and an empty rowboat is visible upon it. The grotto entrance is just below this boat, guarded by a Dreugh.

The first section of the cave is devoid of hostiles, but entirely underwater, requiring some sort of water breathing to progress. The entry to the Antechamber is halfway along the cave tunnel. It is possible (with enough lung capacity) to continue swimming onwards to the end of the tunnel, where an entrance to the daedric ruin of Emmurbalpitu can be found.

Hautharmo's Servant will initiate combat on entering the Antechamber. They carry the key to the Sanctum beyond. The pool of the Antechamber itself is very deep, and contains a number of potions of water breathing.

Entering Hautharmo's Sanctum will initiate conversation with the lich, Hautharmo. The quest The Death of Oirdo Malamartle can be begun here. Hostile dialogue options (or expressing the intent to steal everything) will result in combat. All other options will result in you being teleported to the grotto entrance.

The Sanctum itself contains a variety of books on the dark arts, several exclusive potions and a master level mortar and pestle.
