Accusing one of the Great Houses of high treason is a brazen act indeed!
What shall come of this, I wonder? Your path lies to the northeast. It wanders through the ruined gates of Nychthemeral.
You must destroy Patriarch Leyden before he causes more harm to our people. I've chosen to leave Naryu where she was, injured and alone. I cand find my own way inside the Nocent Abad. I've slain the thralls around Nychthemeral Temple. I believe I've found the remains of Galseth's siblings. I should return to him and let him know. I should slay the diseased and wretched thralls about Nychthemeral Temple. Then I can search their bodies for any sign of Gelseth's brother and sister. I've freed souls from the black soul gems near Nychthemeral Temple. I've killed the ones responsible for these atrocities. Enver should know that his men have been avenged. Destroying the black soul gems about the grounds of the Nychthemeral Temple will halt the patriarch's rituals and free souls in torment. Killing the mer who stole those souls will weaken his army of infernalists. I've slain Patriarch Leyden. In his final moments, he revealed that he had stored his soul in a phylactery. Even though I've defeated him, he may return... unless I venture deeper into the temple.and destroy it. By travelling northeast of Mournhold, I can find a way to enter Nychthemeral Temple. I've entered the heart of Nychthemeral, where I can slay Patriarch Leyden. I've destroyed the Patriarch's phylactery, ending his control over the Grandmagister's mind. He's fled the heart of the temple, no doubt eager to get back to Mournhold. I should speak to him before I leave the temple. Once I find the phylactery within the heart chamber of the temple, I can destroy it. I found the phylactery, but the Grandmagister of House Dres stopped me before I could destroy it. He seems to be under some sort of spell. I should talk to him. Patriarch Leyden's evil power has enthralled the Grandmagister of House Dres. The only way to destroy the phylactery is by fighting him.
After I defeat the Grandmagister, I can destroy the phylactery. Naryu said she was sent to kill me. I'll need to survive if I have any hope of finding out why there's a bounty on my head. You made it out safely! We were just about to go look for the bodies. Nelam is anxious to speak to you. With the power of Nychthemeral, Leyden heralds the Tribunal's doom! You cannot stop him!

  • Nychthemeral Temple
  • Daedric Temple

I've completed the Trials of the Four Troubles. In the temple's inner sanctum, I am now allowed to speak to Vivec. I closed the portals within the temple just as Almalexia arrived. She's one of the Tribunal gods, and we still have much to discuss. I've slain the thralls around the Nychthemeral Temple. I believe I found the remains of Galseth's siblings. I should return to him and let him know. I've freed souls from the black soul gems around Nychthemeral Temple. I've killed the mer responsible for those atrocities. Enver knows his men have been avenged. It is not House Dres, but the Patriarch that seeks to bring destruction upon us.
The Grandmaster of House Dres has been missing, and in his place, the Patriarch seeks power of a most evil sort. I know this in my heart of hearts. He has fled to Nychthemeral. It is an ancient temple upon the peak of the mountain range overshadowing Mournhold.
Some say it was once a stronghold of the cursed House Dagoth. Perhaps the Patriarch draws inspiration from their treasonous history. Truly? You would cast yourself into the heart of this conflict, without regard for the peril it represents?
I cannot aid you there. I must find the others - Vivec and Sotha Sil. They will be vexed when I tell them what has transpired.

I met a Dunmer fleeing Nychthemeral Temple. He told me Patriarch Leyden called others of House Dres to the temple. Some refused to join him in his crusade against the other noble houses. Now they're dead. Cultists captured a desperate Dunmer who's bound within the Nychthemeral temple grounds . He seemed more concerned about the loss of his amulet than his own survival. Almalexia is one of the living gods of the Tribunal. She asked me to pursue and destroy Patriarch Leyden for his crimes against the Dunmer. She's rallying her supporters within the ancient temple of Nychthemeral. I've defeated Patriarch Leyden, but a phylactery protects his spirit from death. I must destroy it to end his exploitation of the victims of Nychthemeral Temple.
