The Blood Elder Scroll can only be obtained in the Soul Cairn, which is given to you by Valerica. You must travel with Serana (Quest: Beyond Death) in order to talk to Valerica get the Scroll. Show The Scroll cannot be bought, but it can be sold if you sided with Dawnguard to Dexion Evicus. The Dragon Elder Scroll can be obtained from the Tower of Mzark in Blackreach. You're sent there by Paarthunax if you're recognized as the Dragonborn by the Greybeards (Skyrim Main Quest). Alternatively you can get it from the quest Discerning the Transmundane, which is triggered by talking to Septimus Signus at his outpost (North of the College). The quest with Septimus won't require you to get the Scroll, but in the process of completing his quest (transcribing the lexicon) you'll find the Dragon Elder Scroll. The Scroll is at the Dwarven Machine that also gives you the Runed Lexicon. However note that Septimus is not-essential. That means he can die and you won't be able to complete the quest.
Blackreach is an immense, naturally lit cavern inhabited by hordes of Falmer and containing the ruins of a Dwemer city. The cavern itself is reached by traversing any of three Dwemer ruins: Alftand (southwest of Winterhold), Mzinchaleft (southwest of Dawnstar), or Raldbthar (west-southwest of Windhelm). In order to access the entrances to Blackreach from these ruins, the Attunement Sphere is needed to reveal the stairs leading to each entrance. The Dwemer theme of the ruins continues within the cavern proper, featuring what appears to be a small city, which has long since been claimed by Falmer. The northernmost point of the cavern features a Dwemer observatory and a lift to the surface for easy access. Blackreach is the only place where crimson nirnroot can be found, which was of great interest to the renowned botanical alchemist, Sinderion. The cavern also houses many geode veins, some of which can be mined for soul gems using a pickaxe, as well as an assortment of other ore veins scattered around. There are 36 geode veins scattered throughout Blackreach in total: 34 in the cavern itself, and 2 in Silent City Catacombs. 23 of these geode veins can be mined to yield level-dependent empty soul gems (grand soul gems and black soul gems start to appear at level 16 with a very low probability, which increases until level 30 (grand)/31 (black)). However, the other 13 geode veins are no different from standard corundum ore veins; these veins will always yield three corundum ores, with a chance of also yielding one or more regular gems.
Zones[edit]Blackreach is a huge cavern that can be difficult to navigate, especially since your in-game map will only ever allow you to see part of the cavern. Most players will first enter Blackreach in the northeast corner, through the door leading to Alftand Cathedral. The Great Lift at Alftand is found a short distance to the south-southeast; it is one of three lifts that provide direct access to the surface. Directly across from the Alftand Cathedral entrance is the first of many buildings scattered throughout the cavern:
One distinctive section of the cavern is the ruined Dwemer city, found in the western part of the cavern. It contains several buildings:
The entrances related to Mzinchaleft are north of the city, namely the door to Mzinchaleft Gatehouse (in the northwestern corner of the cavern) and the Great Lift at Mzinchaleft. Two other buildings are also found along the northern wall of the cavern:
Entrance to Raldbthar Deep Market The southern part of Blackreach is dominated by waterfalls plunging into a lake far below the rest of Blackreach. The entrances related to Raldbthar are to the southeast, namely the door to Raldbthar Deep Market and the Great Lift at Raldbthar. The Tower of Mzark is on a spire to the southwest. Three other buildings are scattered around the edges of the lake:
Exit Locations[edit]Overlooking the Silent City Once you enter Blackreach, there are several different exits from Blackreach to Skyrim. The quickest way to the surface is by using any of the three "Great Lifts", elevator shafts leading to gatehouses on the surface. These lifts can only be accessed from Blackreach; however, once you open the gate at the top of the lift, it becomes a new access point for Blackreach, with a fast-travel marker on your map. One other exit, the Tower of Mzark, must also be initially accessed from Blackreach. Lift locations: Other exits: [edit]
