Locate the narrow tunnel to the northeast and make your way upstairs. On the second floor another draugr will be found in its sarcophagus just to the right of the bridge.

If there was a tonic that could help me, I would have found it by now."Īfter the discussion, Nurelion will take his place behind the counter and Quintus will walk away.
