Quick WalkthroughEdit

  1. Travel to where the scroll is located.
  2. Bring the scroll back to a keep controlled by your alliance.

Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Speak with the commander of respective alliance - Grand Warlord Sorcalin of Aldmeri Dominion, Grand Warlord Dortene of Daggerfall Covenant, or Grand Warlord Zimmeron of Ebonheart Pact - to be given the mission to capture (or recapture) an Elder Scroll. If the scroll originally belonged to your alliance, you will need to bring it back to the Scroll Temple of the same name. Otherwise, you may bring it to any keep under your alliance's control. If the scroll is currently stored at an enemy Scroll Temple, you will need to take control of the Keep nearest to that temple in order to open the Gate and allow your forces into their home territory. One person in your party will need to be designated the scroll carrier. This player cannot ride on horseback, and has their movement speed reduced while carrying the scroll, so they must be protected. If they are killed, they will drop the scroll and another party member can pick it up. Once you reach a suitable location for the Scroll, the quest is complete. Speak to the respective warlord to receive your rewards.

The Elder Scroll of Alma RumaEdit

"And I have one—the Elder Scroll of Alma Ruma. Too long has the enemy defiled it with unworthy hands. It must be brought under Dominion control.
This is the challenge I have for you."

"This victory will propel the Pact to ever-greater heights. Soon all of Cyrodiil will lie beneath our feet!"

NotesEdit

  • The locations of all six Elder Scrolls are visible on the Cyrodiil map, so while you are carrying it, count on being attacked by enemy forces, particularly if it is their scroll you are capturing. You will likely need to bring a large defensive force in order to succeed.
  • Only one Elder Scroll may be housed at any given Keep, so if you are capturing another alliance's Scroll, you must choose a Keep which is not already housing another captured Scroll. The Scrolls that originally belonged to your own alliance can only be stored at their respective Scroll Temples.
  • You do not have to be in the same group as the person carrying the Elder Scroll.

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.
