Elder Scrolls

Spider Scrolls are a unique type of scroll that are found in White Ridge Barrow. They function much like regular scrolls, with the only difference being the spider is not conjured, but rather alive and held in the hand before it is thrown at an enemy. A maximum of eight can be summoned at one time: five cloaked spiders, one oil spider, one glowing spider and one pack spider.

History[]

White Ridge Barrow

White Ridge Barrow.

The Spider Scrolls were first unveiled to Tamriel when Servos Rendas and his sister, Merilar Rendas, started experimenting on Albino Spiders that were native to Solstheim. They discovered that the spiders had the ability to harness magic. They set up shop in White Ridge Barrow, and together they created several sub-species of the Albino Spider. An Imbuing Chamber was used to create the new sub-species.[1]

Eventually, the fumes from the Imbuing Chamber drove Merilar to madness. She imprisoned her brother in the cage that contained the Imbuing Chamber, and killed him.[2]

During the Fourth Era, the Dragonborn came to White Ridge Barrow, and discovered the events that were unveiling there. Merilar attacked the Last Dragonborn, and eventually, the Dragonborn was forced to kill her.[3]

Crafting[]

White Ridge Barrow 04 Imbuing Chamber

Imbuing Chamber

Spider Scrolls are crafted in a similar manner to the Atronach Forge underneath the College of Winterhold.

The Imbuing Chamber inside White Ridge Barrow gives the ability to craft a variety of spiders from Albino Spider Pods (either whole or damaged), assorted gems, and other ingredients.

In most cases, three spiders will be created from a successful combination; however, the amount is doubled if a gem of flawless quality is used instead of a standard gem.

Individual recipes may be found on the Imbuing Chamber page, or the scroll page below. The following is a full list of craftable spiders.
