Wretched Abyss

"The Wretched Abyss" as seen in game.

"I am Hermaeus Mora, guardian of the unseen, and knower of the unknown"

―Wretched Abyss

Wretched Abyss is an apparition of Hermaeus Mora. He appears as a purple portal with a black centre. He is encountered in Septimus Signus's Outpost after giving Septimus the Dwarven/Dwemer Lexicon.

He wishes the Dragonborn to replace Septimus Signus as his emissary after Septimus has opened the lock on the Dwarven/Dwemer lock-box.

If Dragonborn is downloaded then he will appear as a clump of eyes and tentacles, much like he appears during the Dragonborn main questline.
