Find Arvak's Skull

Find Arvak's Skull is a quest in .
==Background==
Upon entering the Soul Cairn, along the initial path that leads to the front of the Boneyard, the Dragonborn will come across a frantic soul calling, "Arvak, Arvak!". He will tell the Dragonborn how he and his loyal steed Arvak came to this realm and were attacked by monsters. He had told Arvak to run, and claims that Arvak is still running, and has been for a long time.
He begs the Dragonborn to find Arvak and disappears. Arvak's Skull must be located in the Soul Cairn to free him.
==Walkthrough==
Arvak's Skull can be found due east from the front gate of the Boneyard where Valerica is found. It will be sitting on a pedestal surrounded by standing stones in a circle which surround four tall pillars in a square. The ghosts there turn into mistmen, bonemen, and wrathmen upon being struck by lightning, and will attack on sight.
After obtaining the skull, the soul who was looking for Arvak will appear nearby, and will teach the Dragonborn how to summon Arvak. He will thank the Dragonborn for helping Arvak and ask them to take good care of him.
