This contract will task you with taking out a Necromancer who is in the process of transforming himself into a lich. It’s up to us to stop this before he becomes too powerful!

Track Down the Wizard

Before heading to confront the wizard, make sure to bring a silver weapon to deal with the ghosts! Set out for Leafrot Cave, located in the southeastern corner of Cyrodiil, east of Bravil near Panther River.

When you arrive, enter the cave. You’ll need to take care of a ghost right off the bat. Once it’s defeated, look to the left to find a table. Read the Path of Transcendence on it to learn that you’ll need to steal an hourglass from the wizard to defeat.

Take Out the Target

In the next area, Celedaen can be found walking around the cave system. You’ll need to sneak up behind him and pickpocket the Sands of Resolve off him. With that gone, you’ll be free to take out the wizard.
