Mystery of the Dwarves

Mystery of the Dwarves is a quest given by Trebonius Artorius to the Nerevarine to discover the reason behind the disappearance of the dwarves during the events of .
Note that this quest will not be offered if the Nerevarine has already received the Arch-Mage quest before speaking to Trebonius for the first time as the prompts for that quest override all other dialogue options. After dealing with that prompt, this quest can be obtained by selecting "duties." 
Despite this, this quest cannot be completed in these circumstances if they are following the Duel to the Death path of the Arch-Mage quest. Once the Nerevarine leaves the Vivec Guildhall and returns, all of Trebonius' dialog prompts are removed and replaced with a message saying "Meet me in the Arena." and a "Goodbye" response that closes the dialog window. This quest will remain stuck in the journal from then onwards. If the "Peacefully" path is chosen, then Trebonius is alive after the promotion and this quest can be turned in normally.

==Walkthrough==
Upon talking to Trebonius Artorius for Mages Guild quests, he will tell the Nerevarine to find out what happened to the dwarves. He probably did not expect them to actually succeed at this, as it seems an impossible task, but it is possible to do it if the Nerevarine picks up the right items in other Mages Guild quests.
The Nerevarine will need to find three books, which can all be found while doing quests for Edwinna Elbert.
The first book is called Hanging Gardens. It is found on a desk in the lower levels of Nchuleftingth, which is accessed during the quest "Nchuleftingth Expedition."
The second book is Divine Metaphysics, which is located in Bethamez. It is on a table next to the entrence, along with the Dwemer Airship Plans. Bethamez can be accessed through the Gnisis Eggmine. It is part of the quest "Bethamez."
The final book is The Egg of Time. It is located in Mzuleft, which is accessed in the quest "Scarab Plans in Mzuleft."
Upon showing any of these books to Edwinna Elbert, she will tell the Nerevarine that she is unable to read Dwemeris, and that they should seek out Hasphat Antabolis in the Balmora Fighters Guild. However, Hasphat is also unable to help, though he will inform the Nerevarine that there might be wizards among the Telvanni who are capable of deciphering the text. However, he will not refer them to a specific Telvanni.
The Telvanni he is talking about is Baladas Demnevanni in Gnisis. Upon being shown all three of the books, Baladas will translate them, giving them the information Trebonius requested.
Alternatively, the Nerevarine may take the books to Yagrum Bagarn in the Corprusarium in Tel Fyr. Yagrum Bagarn will only require Divine Metaphysics and The Egg of Time, so if the Nerevarine missed out on Hanging Gardens, this is the way to go.
Upon returning to Trebonius, he will congratulate the Nerevarine for completing a task he thought was impossible.

Arch-Mage Trebonius asked me to find out what happened to the Dwarves. Unfortunately, he didn't give me much information to go on. I'm not sure if he was serious.
*Quest accepted 	
I was able to get the Dwemer books "The Egg of Time" and "Divine Metaphysics Adapted to the Meanest of Intellects" translated. "Divine Metaphysics" seems to be a treatise explaining how to create a new god through sorcery. "The Egg of Time" seems to be a refutation of the idea that linking to a divine source of power can be dangerous if interrupted. Though "The Egg of Time" refutes this idea, perhaps the author was wrong, and this is what happened to the Dwarves.	
Arch-Mage Trebonius was pleased when I showed him the three Dwemer books. He said this was sufficient and thanked me for solving the mystery of the disappearance of the Dwarves.
