Head inside the tavern, and you will find the Altmer talking to another Star-Gazer.

:Valla: "And this is why you should inform this Hara of yours immediately. It is urgent that we speak to her."
:Ahlora: "Yes, we are wasting time repeating ourselves to a … lackey."
:Star-Gazer Trilion: ''"I'm trying to understand what you just told me. There are other versions of you elsewhere in Craglorn?"
:Valla: "As we explained—and with exceptional clarity—we are merely aspects of the one you call the Celestial Mage. Even as we stand here, the Serpent seeks to control us all!"
:Ahlora: "Even now he gathers our aspects to use as his own, assembling them into a false Mage who is entirely in his control."
:Star-Gazer Trilion: "Yes, of course. Whatever you say. I'll talk to Hara, but I can't make any promises. The constellations have disappeared from the sky and we have other things to deal with right now."

:Star-Gazer Trilion: "Good gods, these High Elves are mad."
:Ahlora: "The stars shine before him, pleading for help, and he's too busy looking at the empty sky to realize it."

Once they have finished, speak with Valla. She will explain their situation, and offer to show you what happened to the Celestial Mage.

:"Ah, you're here at last. Do not be confused. We foresaw your arrival, the one who has walked across the planes and faced down gods. Or do we speak of things still to come? Time is much more fluid among the stars."
:You seem to know who I am, but I don't think we've been properly introduced.
:"We are the one you call the Celestial Mage—or at least two aspects of a larger whole. The Serpent shattered us, weakened us. He plans to control us, piece by piece, aspect by aspect."
:How did such a thing happen?
:"Hold still but a moment and we will show you. Witness the treachery of the Serpent."

After seeing the flashback:

:"Now you know what the Serpent has done to us. How he split us into pieces. He intends to locate our weakened aspects and forge them into a being he can control—one poisoned by his corruption. You must find our aspects before the Serpent does."
:What do you need me to do?
:"Take this relic, the Seeker's Sight. It is a compass of sorts, one that is connected to all aspects of the Mage. But like the Mage, the relic is broken. When you repair it, it will recognize our other aspects and lead you to them."
:How do we fix the Seeker's Sight?
:"When we fell from the sky, the three gems that power the Seeker's Sight were lost. You will need to retrieve these gems to make use of the relic."
:I'll find the gems and restore the Seeker's Sight.
:"Thank you. With the Seeker's Sight restored, we can locate our other aspects before the Serpent takes control of them. When you finish mending the Seeker's Sight, meet us at the winery outside of Belkarth. We will wait for you there."''

After collecting the gems, arrive at Ogondar's Winery rooftop and you'll hear the following:
:Ahlora :  "The Scaled One grows stronger. Another part of us has been lost."
:Valla :  "The Snake eats and eats and never grows full. His hunger is endless."
:Ahlora :  ''"Our time grows short. But the mortal has returned with the Seeker's Sight."
:Valla :  "Then converse with our helper. If the Serpent continues to feast, no power will be able to stand against him."''

Speak to Valla, and she'll say:
:"You will recognize the places where the magicka seeps through by the atronachs and spellfiends that are drawn to the power."

After restoring the Seeker's Sight:
:''"I feel the power pulsing withing the Seeker's Sight. You have done well, mortal."''

When placing Seeker's Sight within the star map in the Star-Gazers' Observatory:
:Hara: ''"A strange relic, this Seeker's Sight. It's a compass of sorts, you say?"
:Valla: "Well, place it within the star map and let's see what happens."
:Valla: "Thanks to this relic, we can locate the remaining aspects before the Scaled One."
:Hara: "What is that strange one over there? It's different from the others."
:Ahlora: "That's the Lost One. The part of us corrupted and controlled by the Scaled One."
:Valla: "Let's not concern ourselves with her just yet. The other aspects are our first priority."

After observing the star map:
:"We have to locate the other aspects before the Serpent does, or the Scaled One will be impossible to overcome"

After talking to Ahlora beside the star map:
:"We have much to discuss with Hara of the Star-Gazers. Make haste and find our other selves. We will meet you at the winery when you have completed the task.''"

After charging the gems go to Ogondar's Winery and meet the aspects.
:Valla: "You made it. Good. We could not proceed without you."
:Mahlia: "The aspects have been gathered. It is time to confront the Lost One."
:Ahlora: "We know exactly where she hides. At the beginning. At the source of our power."
Speak to Valla to find out where the Lost One is hiding.
:"Thank you for returning the aspects to us. We have discussed among ourselves and concluded that the Lost One is too powerful for us to defeat. The best we can hope for is to weaken her."
:What do you mean?
:"We were caught off guard and weakened when the Serpent divided us. He has been gathering our aspects, bringing them under his control one by one. The Lost One is more powerful than the four of us combined."
:So how do we stop her?
:''"We must join with her. We may not be strong enough to defeat the Lost One in a fight, but together we can resist the Serpent's corruption. The Lost One will no longer be whole, but divided within herself. This will make her vulnerable."
:How can you join with the Lost One?
:"It will not be easy. The Lost One is powerful. You will need to engage her in battle and distract her. Unfortunately, she has anticipated this course and fled to a place of strength—our Apex Stone."
:Apex Stone?
:"The Apex Stones are what allow the Celstials to manifest in this plane. By corrupting our Apex Stone, the Serpent sought to submit our consciousness to his will and corrupt us. This is what happened to the Lost One."
:Can't we just destroy the Apex Stone?
:"If you did, our full power would be released. Mundus could not withstand such force. Our Apex Stone rests in a hidden place beneath the city of Elinhir. Use the Seeker's Sight to locate it and the Lost One. We will join you when the time is right."

:"The Apex Stone rests below, in the sewers of Elinhir. The Seeker's Sight will aid you once you get inside and help you find your way."

In the sewers of Elinhir:
 

When spoken to before confronting the Lost One:
:"Strike the Lost One down. It is the only way to end this."''
