Camoran's Paradise

Go back to Cloud Ruler Temple, and talk to Martin. After some other stuff, he'll say that when he opens the portal, it'll close behind you and you'll have to find another way out.

Then he'll say that Camoran is the anchor to the Paradise, just as a Sigil Stone anchors an Oblivion gate. So that's how you get home; you have to kill Camoran. If you're sure you're prepared--IE if you have enough healing potions and such with you, go ahead and tell him you're ready.

Follow the path straight-ahead, and ignore the taunting voice, that's just Camoran being...well, Camoran.

Head on own until you reach a certain point just before you hit the bridge. This point:



Face in the direction shown. You'll see a guy walking around--approach if you like, talk if you like, he won't hurt you.

He'll tell you that he's one of the people who died in Mankar Camoran's service. As promised, he is now immortal. But he and the others are...well, I'll let you find that part out. Anyway, he'll go on to say that there's something called the Forbidden Grotto, which only some people can get into. He'll say that you have to have a Band of the Chosen.

From the blue flowers ("Mana Blooms") behind the guy, you'll harvest Lichor, an alchemy ingredient with only one "effect"...Restore Magicka. From the purple ones, Ambrosia. This also has only one effect, but this one is Restore Health. Pick them all, they will come in handy later on.

Head on down the path and across the bridge. And just keep following the path. You may come across a few atronachs, but just keep going. When the path divides, take the right one.

Keep going until you hit a fork in the road and take the right path. You'll meet a daedra.

Who will likely shock you with his respect. He'll say that the swift retribution that you showed in Kvatch to his kind earned you, well, lots of respect from him and his kind. Tell him you're seeking Mankar Camoran.

Then you cycle through the options and you have the option to do some tasks for him, or battle him. Choose battle. Kill him, and loot his body for a Bands of the Chosen which you should immediately equip, Purging Flame (a sword that weighs 48 but causes 1 fire damage for 15 seconds), and 3 Strong Potions. 1 of Absorption, 1 of Frost Shield, and 1 of Sorcery. There's also a Weak Potion of Frost Shield.

Head across the bridge, ignoring more taunts, and through the door marked The Flooded Grotto.

Turn right once inside, and keep going. Climb the stone "stairs" and proceed around and to your left. Keep going until you see a door with a glowing red symbol. This is the door to the Forbidden Grotto, so enter it.

Proceed down and to your left, across a thin bridge. Turn left and go through an opening where you'll be approached by a Mythic Dawn agent.

Tell him you're here to kill Camoran and he'll offer to help you. Ask him why he would help you, and he'll talk about how he was at Kvatch, and he has become regretful for what he's done. Blah blah blah. Then ask how he can help you.

He'll say no one wearing the bands can leave the Grotto, and that he can remove them for you. He said that an overseer will be coming to check on him, that you need to play along.

Get in the cage as instructed. Now you just wait--until the cage goes down, and then back up. Now turn around and exit out the other side of the cage. Turn right when you exit and proceed through a cave entrance that'll be at the end and on your left.

Go into it and when you hit a fork, turn left and go that way. Keep going until you reach a room, and kill the various daedra you find. Loot Orthe's body for his key, and then look for Eldamil. If he died (which he probably will), go back to that first fork just beyond the room where you almost met a fiery lava death. Take the right instead and cross the thin stone bridge to find another door marked the Forbidden Grotto.

Proceed through the passage and into a room where you're greeted by...Eldamil. Well, he is immortal after all. He'll free you from the Bands, and then offer to come with you to help you kill Camoran. Proceed to the passage on the right side of the room, and about halfway down that and on your left you'll find another passage. Take it, and you'll be in a room with another thin bridge over lava. (Don't fall in the lava.)
Proceed over the bridge and through the passage to the left.

Proceed right at the first opportunity, through a large room, then through a tunnel at the top left of this room. Once in the room, proceed up the stone "steps" and to your right to find two "the Punished." The right one has 53 gold, while the left one has a Potion of Healing and a Weak Potion of Healing.

Turn immediately left from the two "Punished" and go through that passage. At the end of this will be a door marked Paradise. Go through it.

To your almost-immediate-left, you'll find more Mana Blooms, so grab them, and then proceed up the stairs. Once you reach the top, turn right. You will be greeted in this area by Ruma Cameron, who will say that her father wishes to welcome you.

Follow her through the door marked Carac Agaialor.

You'll see Mankar Camoran on a throne of sorts. Speak to him to hear him say, in essence, that you came for the Amulet, so take it back!

Do so. You'll end up having to kill his two kids, too, of course.

Kill Raven and loot his body for a Grand Ring of Shock Shield (Shock Shield 10%).

Kill Ruma and loot her body for a Greater Staff of Fire (80 points damage over 1 second).

Kill Mankar and loot his body for the Amulet of Kings, his staff (Shock damage 5, disintegrate armor 10), and his robe (spell absorption 17 points, reflect damage 9%). Now just wait.

Once Mankar is dead, the area will go fuzzy and you'll appear back in Cloud Ruler Temple. Give the Amulet to Martin and tell him to put it on.

Martin says after some conversation that you must go to the Imperial City with him to see the Elder Council.
