Skyrim:Nimhe, the Poisoned One

Summary

Calcelmo, an accomplished scholar and author, is the owner and curator of the private Dwemer museum and the associated Nchuand-Zel archaeological dig site. Should you wish to enter either of these locales, you must go through Calcelmo. He spends his time at the arcane enchanter set up across the underground river from the entrance to the Nchuand-Zel excavation site. Talk to him about his work, and he will inform you that he has been placed in charge of curating artifacts extracted from Nchuand-Zel, an ancient Dwemer castle located deep within the mountain behind Understone Keep. He mentions his excavation efforts being thwarted by the presence of Nimhe, a giant frostbite spider that is blocking the entrance to Nchuand-Zel. He asks you to kill the spider in exchange for access to both his Dwemer museum and the site itself. If you agree, he will give you the key to Nchuand-Zel.

The quest involves helping a scholar by defeating a spider, granting access to knowledge and a museum. It has minor elements of status and loyalty, with a focus on scholarship.
