Walkthrough

Divinia has asked you to travel to the Ossuary to search for the Mortinomicon, a text containing everything the Templars knew about immortality.

Divinia: I've heard the people here talking about you. Now, if you're going into... that madness, I have a favour to ask of you. Most of the Templars' secret archives have probably been looted or burned by now, but there's one trove only the Master Archivist and I knew about. It's hidden within my order's Ossuary. Now if you can, please go there and search for a particular tome. It's called the Mortinomicon, and supposedly contains everything the Templars know about immortality. I know you're dealing with Kitava and his cultists, but this may be just as important in the long run.

You have found the Mortinomicon Exitio ImmortalisThe Mortinomicon Exitio ImmortalisArea Level: 68Hoc sciendo scribo ut verba mea perdant animam
meam eternam. Mihi credendum est quod novus
deus meus non sit tam divinus quam ipse petit...
. Return it to Divinia in at the Oriath Docks.

Divinia: You actually found it! I can't believe I'm holding, in my very own hands, the Mortinomicon Exitio Immortalis! You really are as capable as I've heard... if you're willing, I'm in dire need of further assistance.

Obtaining a Forbidden TomeForbidden TomeArea Level: (68-83)Mundus noster cecidit. Daemones ubique sunt. Librum
hunc in sacrarium conicio, ut forte alius viam inveniat...
Take this item to the Relic Altar in the Forbidden Sanctum to enter.
and speaking to Divinia instead of returning the Quest item will trigger an alternate quest prompt and dialogue:
You have found a strange Forbidden Tome that bears a golden symbol. Bring it to Divinia at the Oriath Docks to see if she knows what it is.
Divinia: You actually found it! I can't believe I'm holding, in my very own hands—wait, what is this? It looks like the Mortinomicon, but the text is different... the historical references are all wrong... I might sound like a madwoman, but I think you've somehow found a tome from a different possible Wraeclast! This contains vital new information... if you're willing, I'm in dire need of further assistance.

Divinia: With this book, I might just be able to make some headway dealing with a very ancient problem. There's a certain forbidden Sanctum I'd like to show you, hidden under the ruins of Fellshrine for untold centuries. Meet me there—when you can. Believe me, this dangerous enigma isn't going anywhere anytime soon. I mean, that's the whole problem with immortality...

Divinia has asked you to meet her at the Forbidden Sanctum under the ruins of Fellshrine. Speak to her at the Oriath Docks to travel there.

Divinia: This may not be the most pleasant of places, but I brought you here to assist in exploring its depths. Unlike you, I'm not especially battle-hardened, and I need someone to be the muscle behind this operation. I'll be the brains. No offence.

Divinia: Do you see that altar? It is capable of changing your relationship with the Sanctum's mystical properties. Here's a relic I found while exploring its depths. Go on, place it in the altar, see what happens.

You have found a Relic Altar in the entrance to the Forbidden Sanctum. Take a closer look at it, and perhaps place the Relic Divinia gave you.

Divinia: I can see the energies shifting around you. The relic worked! Keep an eye out for more of them, especially the oldest ones, original artefacts from the time of the very founding of our religion. The Templars built this place to hide them... among other things.

You have found a Relic Altar in the entrance to the Forbidden Sanctum. Place a Forbidden Tome and a Relic in it to open the Forbidden Sanctum.
