Dawn in the Valus Mountains: Rescue Ystrel again.
Zone 1
The door at A leads to the outside, and a trapdoor at B takes you down to the next zone.
The Mythic Dawn guard has a bedroll at b and there is a chest nearby at c.
Zone 2
The ladder at B leads to zone 1. A zig-zag passage down leads to a dead end with a lever that opens a rock door a little way back along the passage. Through this is a cave area with a Mythic Dawn guard and two Acolytes. In a side-chamber off the passage leading from the cave is another Acolyte who has the key to the door at the end of the passage at C, which leads to the final zone.
Zone 3
This zone contains most of the Mythic Dawn, in the various rooms along the passage. The large chamber at the end has a raised platform with an altar and a statue of Dagon. During the Dawn in the Valus quest, Ystrel will be unconscious on the altar, being readied as a sacrifice.
Her armor and sword are in a chest in front of the altar. You cannot open the chest, but activating it after awakening Ystrel, will make her come and take the contents.
Ayleid Chamber
A small ruin somewhere outside Tamriel, accessible only through the portal in the Practice Rooms basement in the Arcane University.
