Walkthrough

Located at Bard's Leap Summit, in the south west area of Skyrim. After reaching the cliff top, follow the stone bridge and you will find a wooden diving board overlooking the waterfall. When jumping off the diving area you will land in a pool. Upon leaving the pool, the Dragonborn will be met by the ghost of a bard, Azzadal, who will tell you his tale of an unsuccessful attempt. After speaking with him, your speech will increase one level.

When attempting this quest if you have fast traveled to Bard's Leap Summit, be sure to clear the area near the pool of Forsworn. If you fail to do this they may attack you, Azzadal will disappear and you will not get an increase in your speech.

Word of Power

Turn 180 Degrees from the diving board, you will see a structure with some tanned leather in front of it. Behind the leather there are two Hagravens bringing a Forsworn Briarheart back from the dead and a word wall. This can be a very difficult fight unless you kill the Hagravens before they resurrect the Briar-Heart. After killing both Hagravens, collect the word of power for Become Ethereal and search the chest.
