Repairing the Orrery Location

Map View
Worldview
Description I spoke with Bothiel from the Arcane University and she gave me a note mentioning a shipment of Dwarven artifacts that has been stolen by bandits. She said she would pay handsomely for retrieving them. I should head towards Camp Ales and get my hands on those artifacts.

Repairing the Orrery is located at The Arcane University in The Imperial City. Unlock the quest by talking to Bothiel inside.

Repairing the Orrery Walkthrough

List of Objectives
1 Talk to Bothiel
2 Retrieve the Dwarven Artifacts
3 Return to Bothiel
4 Wait 24 Hours
5 Enter the Orrery

Talk to Bothiel

To start the quest, talk to Bothiel at the Arcane University in the Imperial City. She will ask you to retrieve Dwarven artifacts to repair the Orrery.

Head to Camp Ales

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
Travel to Camp Ales, north of Kvatch. You can fast travel to the Oblivion Gate near Castle Kvatch and head north. Once there, kill the Bandit Carrier
2
After killing the Bandit Carrier, loot the Dwarven Cog and Undiscovered Letter from his body. The letter will mark four more camps on your map.

Retrieve the Dwarven Artifacts

# Step-by-step Walkthrough
1
You can go to the camps in any order, but we recommend going counterclockwise for smoother progression.

From Camp Ales, head west past Fort Hastrel and the Ayleid Well to reach Varus Camp. Upon arrival, kill the Bandit Carrier and loot the Dwarven Tube.
2
Head southeast to Bodean Camp. Kill the Bandit Carrier and loot the Dwarven Cylinder afterward.
3
Fast travel back to Camp Ales and head east toward Dagny’s Camp. As usual, kill the Bandit Carrier and loot the Dwarven Coherer.
4
Finally, go north to Brotch Camp. Kill the Bandit Carrier and loot the Dwarven Cog, the last Dwarven artifact.

Return to Bothiel

With all artifacts retrieved, return them to Bothiel so she can start repairing the Orrery.

Wait 24 Hours

Bothiel will need one day to complete repairing the Orrery. Use the Wait function to speed up time by 24 hours.

Enter the Orrery

After 24 hours have passed, enter the Imperial Orrery and open the Dwarven Metal Door. Head upstairs and activate the Imperial Orrery Console to complete the quest.

Repairing the Orrery Rewards

Gold

Completing Repairing the Orrery will reward you with Gold, depending on your level. You can also obtain various common weapons and items as you progress through the quest.

Greater Power Spells

After the Orrery is repaired, you can interact with the Imperial Orrery Console to receive a Greater Power spell. A different spell is granted during each of the eight moon phases.

However, each Greater Power fortifies one attribute while draining another.
