Skyrim:Hitting the Books

Summary

After the discovery of the mysterious Orb in the depths of Saarthal, a puzzled Tolfdir decides to send you back alone to alert Arch-Mage Savos Aren. Aren turns out to be quite uninterested in the whole affair. You will then be given the quest and prompted to go speak to Mirabelle Ervine, who then sends you along to librarian Urag gro-Shub to research the subject. Locate Urag, who can usually be found behind his desk inside the Arcanaeum where he functions as the librarian and keeps a close eye on the College's huge collection of ancient tomes. After warning you about touching any of the books in the library, the old Orc will mention that there may be relevant information in one of three tomes which are no longer in his possession. They were 'borrowed' by an Apprentice named Orthorn who recently, due to a dispute with the College, joined a group of renegade mages in Fellglow Keep. Urag can do nothing for you without the books, and says you'll have to find Orthorn to retrieve the books so the research of the Orb can begin.

The quest focuses on retrieving books for research, emphasizing scholarship. It involves some lawfulness and loyalty to the College, with minor elements of power and mercy.
