The Keeper's Oath (page) (0007500075,000 Gold)
Retrieve the 20 dangerous relics stolen from the Vault of Moawita.

Relics of Summerset is awarded for finding all 20 dangerous relics located around Summerset Isle and returning them to the Vault of Moawita on Artaeum. These items are all found inside Thieves Guild Dead Drop chests - small, glowing chests out in the wilderness. Taking the items is not a crime, but each item is cursed in a unique way and will temporarily disable you while its effects play out. This can be a minor problem if enemies are near but is otherwise harmless. They can be found at any time, but it is easier if you first visit the vault and acquire the Psijic Codex: List of Dead Drops. This gives clues to each relic's locations, and also causes the chests to glow faintly when you are near them.

Before you begin collecting these items, you should complete the quest The Vault of Moawita on Artaeum.

Earning this achievement will allow you to purchase The Keeper's Oath (page) for 0007500075,000 Gold.

Relic Clue Location
Description Curse
Lantern of Lies The Lantern of Lies, with malicious glow,
Can be found by the rocks of Welenkin Cove.
Within the crevice of coral stone,
Where coral crabs have made their home.
Just south of Welenkin Cove (map). It's not in Welenkin Cove. It's in the next opening in the rocks south down the coastline.
The Lantern of Lies traps the souls of liars who gaze upon its flame. Do you dare look? Causes brief blinding light
Heart of the Indrik The Heart of the Indrik, near water deep,
Lies behind the walls of Cey-Tarn Keep.
Behind trees numbered one and three,
One can find this relic easily.
Near the source of the river south from Rellenthil, southeast of Cey-Tarn Keep (map)
The crystallized heart of an Indrik is said to curse any with an unpure heart who touch it. Causes you to hunch over in pain and see red
Silver-Tongued Quill The relic of compulsive note,
Sits next to a ready boat.
Search the Alinor Dock's rightmost pier,
For the Silver-Tongued Quill sits near.
Near the end of the easternmost pier at Alinor Docks (map)
Whatever is written with this quill is instantly thought to be true. The trouble comes from the fact that it often has a mind of its own. Causes you to scream and run, and almost run off the pier
The Unraveling Staff In Rellenthil, house of players great,
The Unravelling Staff lies in wait.
Beneath a bridge, by gentle creek,
You'll find the relic that you seek.
Under the bridge on the east side of Rellenthil (map)
Commissioned by an impatient weaver, this wand can unravel any threads. The trouble comes when it starts to unravel buildings, trees, and even flesh. Briefly encases you in a cocoon
Skull of Minor Cursing Near the Rellenthil wayshrine,
Sits a skull without a spine.
The Skull of Minor Cursing hides,
On cliff's edge, near sinkhole wide.
On the northeastern edge of the Rellenthil sinkhole (map)
Though never known to cause a death, this skull has caused misery to many. Causes you to be struck by (harmless) lightning
Shadowcutter Blade The Shadowcutter Blade was hauled,
By jagged stone and waterfall.
East of the ruins of Ald Mora,
Hides this relic of deadly aura.
On the east side of the waterfall east of Ald Mora Ruins (map)
This radiant blade creates an arc of light which pierces darkness; even the darkness within the souls of all man and mer. Causes heavy fire damage
Soulkeeper's Urn The Soulkeeper's Urn was laid to rest,
In a town that's neither east nor west.
Behind Russafeld's grand estate,
You'll find this relic hides in wait.
On the hill behind the largest building at Russafeld (map)
The container of a powerful spirit, the inscription written upon this urn suggests it was created centuries ago. Causes you to float screaming into the air
Chest of Condemnation The Chest of Condemnation overlooks,
One of Ebon Stadmont's bubbling brooks.
Seek a broken archway there,
To find this cursed relic rare.
Northeast of Ebon Stadmont, on a ledge overlooking the west bank of the stream flowing out of Cloudrest (map)
One can hear soft crying from this magically sealed chest, though it is unknown what enchantment or creature produces the sound. Prolonged exposure tends to result in inevitable madness. Creates an electric whirlwind under you, lifting you into the air and causing you to wail
Never-Ending Scroll Near the Illumination Academy,
Hides another relic of tragedy.
You'll find the Never-Ending Scroll,
Beside the bridge that has no toll.
Next to the east end of the bridge south of Illumination Academy (map)
This seemingly endless scroll enthralls whoever writes upon it, forcing them to continuously write until they fall dead of exhaustion. Causes a whirlwind to blow around you
Inescapable Helm Within the ruins of Corgrad Wastes,
The Inescapable Helm awaits.
Look beneath a twisted tree,
Near water flowing from the sea.
South of the central house in Corgrad Wastes (map)
Many have died wearing it, not because of its ineffectiveness but rather because of its curse. Only in death is this miraculous helm unbound from its wearer's head. Will make your head spin
Sticky-Fingered Lute Overlooking the coral queen,
In a small forest, so serene,
The Sticky-Fingered Lute shall be,
Hidden near a royal hatchery.
On a cliff east of The Queen's Hatchery (map)
Created by a merciless music teacher, any who strum the strings of this lute will be unable to put it down until he or she plays the perfect melody. Cruel, but highly effective. Creates a storm cloud over your head
Fan of False-Face On Northern beach, by waterfall,
Placed against a stony wall,
Beyond where angry gryphons pace,
Hides the Fan of False-Face.
Under the waterfall on the shore northwest of Gryphon Run (map)
This fan allows its bearer to steal anothers face; though at the cost of slowly losing themselves. Turns you into a monkey
Pillow of Sweet Dreams Between a ruined Direnni home,
And a pass of past King's bold,
Near rock knoll, beneath green leaves,
You'll find the Pillow of Sweet Dreams.
Just southeast of Gryphon Aerie (map)
All who rest their brow upon this pillow are overcome with euphoric dreams. As addictive as it is deadly, for many never awake from their saccharine slumber. Puts you to sleep
Mirror of Fatal Premonition Watched by a harmonious monastery,
At the base of the tower, which sits by the sea,
At the end of a wall that holds back the tides,
The Mirror of Fatal Premonition hides.
Behind the tower at the end of the breakwater south of Direnni Acropolis (map)
Few dare to gaze upon this mirror, which shows the viewer's face mere moments before their inevitable death. Causes a glowing bloom effect
Monochrome Paintbrush Beyond the confines of Shimmerene's walls,
Where you can hear seabird calls,
Beside stacked stones with a mossy blush,
Awaits the Monochrome Paintbrush.
On the beach below the southeast wall of Shimmerene (map)
An enchanted brush with the ability to drain the life force of any who use it. For their sacrifice, the most beautiful shades of color are created. Makes the whole world briefly appear in brown while you cower in fear
Hourglass of Perceived Time The Hourglass of Perceived Time,
Waits by Eastern water brine.
Hidden within the forest of coral,
You'll find this relic, so immoral.
Just off the east side of the road northwest of the Sil-Var-Woad Wayshrine (map)
When activated, this hourglass changes the user's perspective of time. Hours can appear to last days, days can go by in a mere blink. Due to its misuse as a torture device, the secrets of activating its powers remain hidden. Causes your vision to turn blue
Jaunt of the Jilted Southeast of where a geyser spews,
By the shipwreck of a smuggling crew,
The Jaunt of the Jilted lies in wait,
This relic of horrific gait.
East (not southeast) of Abyssal Geyser Sil-Var-Woad (map)
Cursed by a stilted lover, these shoes condemn their wearer to a dancing death. Makes you dance a jig before stomping on the ground to stop it
Ever-Filling Chalice North of the clearing Alaxon'ald,
A relic of great thirst was hauled.
The Ever-Filling Chalice lies,
Behind a beast of feathery hide.
Across the road and north of Alaxon'ald, in the back of a gryphon's den (map)
Those who drink upon this chalice are cursed with an unquenchable thirst. Many have drowned upon its ever-filling waters. Causes a fountain of ale to erupt around you
Chestplate of Desiccation The Chestplate of Desiccation awaits,
Left of Sunhold's mighty gates.
Where white wall meets mossy stone,
Sits this one relic, all alone.
On the shore south of Sunhold (map)
Used by the Telvanni as a torture device for slaves, this amulet will slowly dry out all moisture from the wearer's body. Briefly turns you to stone
Shattering Sword Right outside Artaeum's door,
South of the temple where imps soar,
The Shattering Sword awaits you there,
This tricky relic of fight unfair.
By a rock south of the Keep of the Eleven Forces (map)
Any blade forged upon this hilt is doomed to shatter within the most crucial time of a battle. Causes heavy fire damage

NotesEdit

Picking up these items may be hazardous to those of the undead persuasion. Vampires should be prepared with shields or healing, or they may prove fatal.
Originally, this clue said "purple" leaves, which was incorrect and misleading, since there are many purple trees in the area, but none near the actual dead drop.
