==Walkthrough==
At the start of the quest, an apparition of Vanus Galerion will appear to you. Speak with him and he will tell you that he wishes to speak with you about a disturbing message he got from an oracle, and will tell you to head to the mages guild in either Davon's Watch, Daggerfall or Vulkhel Guard, depending on your alliance. Head there and speak with him; he will tell you that the oracle in question is one of the wyresses of Bangkorai, and that she might be in danger. He will ask you to go to her location and save her; he has prepared a magic boat that will bring you to her location. He will also give you a medalion of summoning, should there be a need for you to contact him.
Head to the docks and board the enchanted boat. It will bring you to northern Bangkorai, near Troll's Toothpick Wayshrine. Head west from there to find the Oracle's dwelling. The house is under attack by Daedra; fight your way through, then speak with Wyress Aelynn once you are inside. She will tell you that the Oracle is not here; she probably fled to safety in the Mines of Khunas in Glenumbra. You can take your magic boat there or you can travel by yourself. Either way, head into the mines. The mines will be filled with Bloodthorn Cultists, so you will have to fight your way through. In the watery room in the northwest, search the southeast of the room for a door to the Old Wyrd Site; it will be well hidden by moss and rocks so look carefully. In the passage way here, an enemy called the Wraith-of-Crows will appear; he is very strong so be prepared. After he is defeated, head on and you will find a Note to Vanus from the oracle; this is the moment to use the Medalion of Summoning Vanus gave you. 
Speak with Vanus and he will remark that there is a secret message in the letter. To disover the location of the Oracle, you must perform a ritual involving the elements. Look around for items that represent the elements of Air, Earth and Water. You will find an Uncut Gemstone in the north of the room, a hollowed gourd filled with water in the puddle and a feather in the south of the room. After you have all the items, speak with Vanus and he will tell you to place the items in the correct bowls, indicated by pictograms. The leftmost bowl is for the gemstone, the middle one is for the feather, and the one on the right is for the gourd. 
Once you have succesfully performed the ritual, an apparition of Oracle Marieve will appear. Speak with her and she will say that her visions show that Summerset and Artaeum will soon be spun into a dark web by the Daedric Princes. She will say that they are taking her to an Aldmeri Ruin named Bewan, then she will disappear. If you talk to Vanus Galerion about this, he will tell you that he cannot get involved in matters involving the Psijics of Artaeum, so you must go on without him. Either way, Bewan is in western Auridon. You can take your magic boat there or travel there yourself. Head into the ruins and to the southernmost chamber. There, you will find the Daedra dragging Marieve through a portal; follow them through and you will find yourself in the Spiral Skein, the realm of the Daedric Prince Mephala. You will be assaulted by several waves of spiders as you make your way through this realm, followed by a duel with Viscount Lelorion towards the end of the path. 
At the end of the path, you will find Oracle Marieve trapped in spider silk. Speak with her and she will tell you that Mephala is trying to reach Artaeum through her; to free her, you must destroy the pinions that keep the web in place. Defeat the Spider Daedra guarding the pinions and destroy them, then head back to Marieve and destroy the Center Fulcrum, the construct to which she is attached. Once she is free, Marieve will open a portal to Skywatch; head through and talk to Marieve there. She will thank you for saving her and tell you that you were in time to stop the evil forces from finding Artaeum. After you are done talking with her, Vanus Galerion will appear; speak with him to finish the quest.
