Detailed Walkthrough

You'll receive the quest from either Scout Aldanya on the western road or Captain Cirenwe on the eastern road. They tell you that the town was attacked by Maormeri raiders, and one of their scouts was trying to find a way to activate the harbor defense system left by the ancient Aldmer. The scout's name is Lorumel, and she hasn't returned. You'll be asked to find Lorumel, and to see if you can find a way to activate the weapon.

Your first objective will be geographically closer to you if you accept the quest from the captain on the east side of town. Head south from the captain's location, and you'll find Scout Lorumel in a stable filled with the corpses of countless Dominion Soldiers. A note titled Weapon Activation is on the floor beside her. Speak with Lorumel, who was injured during her mission. She tells you that you need three power stones to activate the weapon: one can be found in Marrayna's Tap Room (the local tavern), another can be found in Mage Fiirenir's House (an old mage's home), and the third is being held by the Maormer captain in the canonreeve's mansion.

Your job now is to find the three welkynd stones and power the Aldmer device. The Canonreeve's manse is closest to Lorumel's location. Head west, descend the staircase and enter the large Altmer-style building on the north side of the district. You don't need to kill the captain, but the welkynd stone he's guarding is in a chest (which looks like an Ayleid-style urn) behind him.

Once you have the first welkynd stone, head west across the bridge and enter Mage Fiirenir's House. The welkynd stone is in a chest upstairs, beside the mage's bed and corpse. Head up the stairs west of the mage's home and make for the tavern for the last welkynd stone. The stone is in a chest on the corner of the bar.

Now that you've collected all three welkynd stones, you need to place them in the device, which is located up the path directly south of the tavern. The ancient weapon sits atop the highest cliff in Greenwater Cove, overlooking the city. There are five sconces arranged in a semicircle around the device for you to set the stones in. However, there's a catch: you need to place the stones in the correct sconces. The stones will glow when you place them in the correct order. You can activate a sconce to place a stone, and remove the stone by activating the sconce while a welkynd stone is in it.

The correct sconces are the two on the western side, and the sconce on the southeastern corner of the semicircle arrangement.

Once you've placed the stones in the correct sconces, a beam will be fired from the golden crystal in the device down to the weapon: the Eye of the Ancients. You can either jump down the southern end of the cliff (there's a platform for you to land on safely without taking damage a short ways down) or head down the path and descend the hill to reach the sconce which the eye is nestled in. You'll notice two Maormeri ships to the left and right of the eye. Activate the weapon, and it will fire a laser at each of the ships.

Head up the northern path and speak with Captain Cirenwe, who has gathered with her soldiers in front of the tavern. Speak with her to end the quest.
