An ancient Khajiiti shrine called the "Temple of Seven Riddles" has been overrun by the Khajiit's eternal enemy, the dro-m'Athra. With each passing hour, more Lost Cats pour into Nirn through a gaping rift between worlds. If Tamriel is to be saved, this Maw of Lorkhaj must be closed.

Maw of Lorkhaj

The Maw of Lorkhaj is a desecrated Khajiiti temple in Reaper's March.

It was known as the "Temple of Seven Riddles" prior to its occupation by the Dro-m'Athra.

Just outside the entrance to the temple is a small hub with two merchants, crafting stations and a cooking fire. There are also some members of the Twilight Cantors nearby, and a few monks that have been afflicted by the Bent Dance. Adara'hai can be found in front of the entrance to the temple; she will request your help in dealing with the invading dro'm-Athra.

You will receive The Rid-Thar's Moon Pearls along with your other rewards after defeating the Fang of Lorkhaj with Hard Mode engaged.
