  1. Speak to Verulus about the Hall of the Dead
  2. Investigate the Hall of the Dead
  3. Clear the draugr from Reachcliff Cave
  4. Speak to Eola
  5. Lead Verulus to the Shrine of Namira

The Taste of Death is Namira’s Daedric quest – the one that has you asking whether a ring is really worth it.

How to start

In Markarth, the Hall of the Dead has been closed and people are angry about it. Talk to Brother Verulus, the priest of Arkay, who explains that bodies there have been desecrated.

Walkthrough

Inside the hall you meet Eola, a follower of Namira. She invites you to Reachcliff Cave to restore Namira’s shrine by clearing out the draugr. Then she asks you to lure Verulus there – for dinner, in the worst possible sense.

Choices

  • Join the feast: kill Verulus and eat → Ring of Namira.
  • Refuse: kill Eola instead, tell Verulus the hall is safe → Amulet of Arkay.

Choices & consequences

Feast: Ring of Namira. Kill Eola: Amulet of Arkay.
