The Shipwreck Prelude is a House Hlaalu quest concerning the wreckage of the ship Prelude in the Azura's Coast region of Vvardenfell, available to the Nerevarine if they join House Hlaalu during the events of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Objectives[]

  1. Speak with Edryno Arethi
  2. Find the Prelude Shipwreck in the Azura's Coast region
  3. Return to Arethi

Walkthrough[]

Having successfully concluded the negotiations with the Zainab Camp, the Nerevarine may return to Edryno Arethi within the Hlaalu Canton (the reserved section for Hlaalu members in Vivec City). Arethi will inform the Nerevarine that a shipwreck, Prelude, in the Azura's Coast region holds an artifact of great value, a Daedric Wakizashi. The Nerevarine must obtain the blade from the wreckage on behalf of House Hlaalu.

Looting the wreck[]

The Prelude Shipwreck is located due east of Bal Fell, near the third island (easily identifiable due to the number of the rocks upon it). Searching through the remains of the Prelude, the Nerevarine will find a locked chest (of random lock level) inside the lower level of the Prelude. This chest contains the Wakizashi Arethi wanted, hence the Nerevarine must open the chest and take the sword.

With Wakizashi in hand, the Nerevarine may return to Arethi, whom will reward the Nerevarine with 500 Gold for their work.
