The Mer In The High Castle

The Wheels of Lull

## Recommendations

This quest relies heavily on sneaking past enemies. Make sure your Sneak skill is high enough, the enemies you will encounter can't be killed, so if you get caught, you're dead!

## Walkthrough

### Start

After completing Sky Spy and reaching level 25, talk to Numinar about his plans. He wants you to infiltrate a Thalmor outpost called Whitehorn Pass and gives you Enchanted Thalmor Robes and Forged Notes to disguise yourself as a Thalmor member. Keep these robes on **ALL THE TIME** after reaching Whitehorn Pass, or the Thalmor will turn hostile! He then sends you to the Upgate Station to travel to your destination via the gate.

Before going there, you can check in with Medeliu who will confirm the necessity of sneaking and wearing the robes; and with Avarri who will give you the materials list for the Targetian Harquebus.

### Upgate Station

Enter the Upgate station. When you approach Decade Subori, the operator of the gate, she will force-greet you and reveal the function of the gate, but confesses that Llavados has made a mess by flooding the place with butter.

Agree to clean the place and take the Shovel found in the room to the north.

Now go down the stairs on the south side of the chamber. There are six Mounds of Butter to clean, make your way through the moving pistons until you got them all.

Return to Subori and tell her you cleared out all butter pockets, she will activate the Upgate, go through it to reach Whitehorn Pass.

### Whitehorn Pass / Whitehorn Fortress

Cross the bridge and present your forged papers to Secarius, the guard at the entrance. He will open the gate and lead you inside Whitehorn Fortress. After some explanations he will introduce you to Justiciar Archeron, the leader of the Thalmor here.

After the chat, take the time to explore the Fortress, on some barrels in the kitchen you'll find the Key to Archeron's Labs. Take it and leave through the door to the south.

### Whitehorn Courtyard / Whitehorn Labs

You'll find yourself in the Courtyard, cross it and enter one of the two lab doors to the south (they're expert-locked, but can be opened with the key you found earlier).

From now on, you'll be in restricted areas, so go into sneak mode and don't get caught! Make your way south into the last room. Unfortunately, you'll be tripping an alarm and be transported to a cell in the Whitehorn Dungeons.

### Whitehorn Dungeons

You have been stripped of all your inventory (excluding quest items), Archeron is standing before the cell and mocks you for not checking for alarms. When he leaves, after a few seconds Llavados will appear and hand you the Magnusian Visor. Equip it and use the Lullian Ping on the Visor beam in the cell. The cell door will disappear.

Go down the stairs to the south, you'll see a second Visor beam, activate it to reveal a secret passage that lets you bypass the guard patrolling the room.

Go through the passage and turn west until you reach the next room. From up the stairs follow the girders hidden behind some crates until you reach a Loose Chandelier. Activating it causes it to drop down and incinerate the guard below.

Jump down and follow the corridor to the east until you see a third Visor beam. Activate it to reveal another secret passage. After going through it, you will find yourself at the back of a lab with Archeron speaking to Masscroft.

Take Archeron's Diary and the Key to Whitehorn Dungeons from the table and leave. Head straight west and leave the Dungeons through the door to Whitehorn Fortress.

### Escaping the Fortress

Sneak past the guards towards the exit to Whiterun Pass. This can be tricky because they're standing almost everywhere. Again, don't let them spot you! Just before the exit Secarius is guarding the door, before engaging him, turn left and take your belongings from the Personal Chest in the side room.

Equip your gear and return to the door. Secarius is the only guard that can be killed, so perform a sneak attack to get rid of him. Or you can simply run past him and leave the Fortress. Run to the Upgate portal and return to Lull-Mor.

### Back at Lull-Mor
