Detailed Walkthrough
Accompanying the Queen
After assisting with the other rituals in Tanzelwil, Queen Ayrenn will need to complete final ritual but you will volunteer to accompany her.
:''"I'm afraid we're not finished here. Not yet."
:Why risk your life? Is it that important?
:"If I am to be Queen, I must look fear in the face and conquer it. How can I ask my people to have faith in me if I don't have faith in myself?"
:Then my place is at your side.
:"I was a warrior before I became queen. I can handle myself. But you're determined. And I know you're foolhardy enough. I would welcome your company."
:It would be my honor.

At this, Battlereeve Urcelmo will protest:
:Queen Ayrenn: "I can handle myself. I was a warrior long before I became a Queen!"
:Battlereeve Urcelmo: "Your Majesty! Let me come with you!"

Queen Ayrenn will be waiting for you at the entrance and you will need to talk to her first to get more details about what hazards you may face. She 
:"I should warn you. Three coins say Norion is down in the crypts."
:You're sure?
:"Well, no. But to control these spirits so completely, he'd have to be close. The crypt is a winding complex, with plenty of places for quiet spellcasting."
:Are you ready to face him?
:"I'm prepared for anything. If he's sided with this Veiled Queen, he's a traitor. That means we end him, here and now. Are you with me?"
:After you, my Queen.

As Norion is likely inside, it is probable that he will send many spirits against you.

Inner Tanzelwil
:Norion: "You are no queen, Ayrenn. You are a spoiled child. Give up this charade and let the Veiled Queen lead our people to glory!"
Once inside Tanzelwil, Norion will periodically appear to taunt Ayrenn as well as summon Ancestral Spirits (Icemasters, Tempests, Blademasters) to attack you both. It will be your job to escort Ayrenn to the Ancestral Chamber. In order to open the first door, Queen Ayrenn destroys the dark crystal by the door, while you destroy the guardian crystal to the east (see bugs).

When you confront him, he will shout at Ayrenn:
:Norion "Foolish girl! I serve the Veiled Queen! She is our true leader!" 

Inside the Ancestral Chamber, you help Queen Ayrenn defeat Norion. Ayrenn cannot die, but she can be wounded and stop fighting for a short time. Norion fights with a maul and lightning magic, as well as summoning spirits to his side, who will denigrate the queen.
:Ancestral Sentinel: "You have betrayed your people!"
:Ancestral Blademaster: "True Altmer do not consort with savages and beasts!"
:Ancestral Tempest: "Mercy and civility are for the weak!"
 
After he is slain, Queen Ayrenn will walk up to the altar to complete the last ritual.
:Queen Ayrenn: "Norion got what he deserved. Time this ritual was ended."

She will begin to pray and the Ancient Spirits will appear and approve of her.
:Queen Ayrenn: "May the ancestors bless us with their wisdom and protection."
:Ancient Spirit: "The ancestors honor your prayers."
:Ancient Spirit: "May the light of the Eight bless you and guide you."
:Ancient Spirit: "Let your reign be long and peaceful."
:Queen Ayrenn: "It's finished. Let's get out of this dark place. Follow me."
 

You can follow her outside, where she will be waiting for you.
:"You risked everything to help me. I won't forget it."
:Any time, my Queen.
:"You're too modest. Thank you, my brave and noble friend. Until we meet again, wherever the road may take us."

She thanks you and gives you your reward. Nearby, Battlereeve Urcelmo will have a task for you.
 

Notes
After completing the quest, you can hear random Altmer commenting, "Bet the dead at Tanzelwil had a lot to say about Ayrenn."''
