The Lost Art of the Ocarina

The Lost Art of the Ocarina
Volume III

Pielor Rifted
As I discussed in earlier volumes, the ocarina is very rare in Skyrim, but the instrument has the distinction of carrying an ancient myth with it. In my research on ocarinas, I discovered Dwemer texts mentioning one of frightening power.
Texts make mention of an instrument hidden in a flooded dwarven building north by northwest of what is now Solitude, built around an ancient shrine housing an impossible door and an item that the Dwemer claim was used as a tool of war.
A skilled bard could play songs with the object. Songs that caused various effects, including one that linked the musician to a time long ago. The Dwemer found that playing this song near an "ancient gate" would produce the image of a key in the musician's mind.

This is all I have so far. I don't know if I can finish it, since I have little resources concerning the pre-Dwemer artifact. I have found only one book mentioning it, and have lost that. Alas, and this thought causes tears to come to my eyes, perhaps the ocarina will forever be orphaned. I suggest the endeavour to future scholars. If I recall correctly, the Dwemer building mentioned is called Kinolangdanzel.
== Notes ==
The Lost of the Ocarina (First Draft) can be found in three different locations.
*The first can be found on a table in the Court Wizard's study of Dragonsreach in Whiterun. It is found alongside From Sybille Stentor.
*The second can be found on the ancient enchanter in the Court Wizard's chambers of the Blue Palace in Solitude. It is found alongside From Farengar Secret-Fire.
*The third can be found in The Ruptured Towers - Misery.
The book refers to the location of the Ocarina of Time hidden in Kinolangdanzel.
== Background and Inspiration ==
The book was added with the Ocarina of Time to provide a hint to the player as to the item's location and puts a name to Kinolangdanzel.
Prior to version 6.4, the line "ancient gate" read "ancient enchanter," and was changed to reflect the updated function of the Song of Time.
