If you are following the Imperial Skyshard List one by one, you’ll find this one close to the seventh one. It is in the northern part of the sewers, east from the group boss Ebral the Betrayer, northwest from the Inquisitor’s Retreat area of interest.

If you are not in the sewers already, head to the Arena District. Find the Harena Hypogeum sewer entrance, located in the northeastern part of this section. Once inside the sewer, go to the next room and left (west). Follow the path to the south, toward the seventh shard’s room. Keep following the path to the west and enter the next area, called Antediluvian Vaults. Keep to the southwest again, until you spot Ebral the Betrayer, the group boss. Don’t go toward him, but to the third room east of him. You can spot the laundry drying inside. This is a bit odd, considering it is a rather moist area. Does the laundry ever really get dry here? Nonetheless, the shard is just next to the wooden ladder that leans onto the beam that supports the laundry platform.

The enemies found in the room can’t be skipped. You’ll need to deal with them if you want to collect the shard. As always, watch out for the patrolling enemy, as he is the strongest one of them all.

Guide:

The Aldmeri outpost we are after is inside the Imperial Sewers, located under the City. The ninth in line skyshard is the easternmost sewer tunnels, southeast from Drain-Dweller’s Outpost area of interest and the ladder that leads to Arboretum.

If you are outdoors in Imperial City, go to the Arboretum District. You’ll find the Irrigation Tunnels sewer entrance in the northeastern section of this part of town. There is a small room that hides the circular sewer doors. Use it to reach the part of the tunnels closest to the shard.

Once you’re in the Irrigation Tunnels, head to the Drain-Dweller’s Outpost area of interest. Enter the circular room south from this POI, and go east. Be careful with the enemies in the next room, on the ground level, just behind the wooden wall. They are not that strong, but if you don’t want unnecessary fights, you can avoid them. This doesn’t include the crocodiles defending the crystal. They come in groups of two, and are not easy to defeat. Maybe this one got its name from the fact they always respawn, no matter how many times you kill them.

Guide:

The second part of the Imperial City skyshard list holds the ones found in underground locations. To reach this one, you’ll need to enter the Imperial Sewers through the Irrigation Tunnels in the Temple District (southern part of the City). The exact spot you should aim for is in the east, southwest from Emperor Leovic and east from General Kyrozote group boss, north from Unfinished Memoirs area of interest.

Although the sewer ladder leads to the Irrigation Tunnel, we’ll need to head to the Abyssal Depths. The door to it is found just northwest from where we start our journey. As you go through this door, and enter the new area, you’ll spot the Emperor Leovic group boss room. We don’t want to go there, but to the room just west of it. You’ll find what you’re looking for in the southwest part of this room.

The portal light mentioned in the name might be the glow of a nearby Daedric Portal, or the light coming from the ceiling. There are some laundry ropes in this area. It seems that the inhabitants of these tunnels really like to keep themselves clean and tidy. It doesn’t feel like the best place to dry your clothes, but it is far better than the previous one.

Guide:

The drain mentioning the name of the shard is found in the sewers. More specifically, it is the westernmost one in this underground area, north from General Zamachar group boss, west from Alik’ri Alcove area of interest. One of the closest sewer entrances is called Lambet Passage, and it is located in the Elven Gardens District, in the northwestern part of town.

Go southeast from the Lambent Passage entrance. You can find the General Zamachar group boss room in the southern part of this area. Head north from his room, into the room with the high ceiling and a large central stone pillar. There’s another sewer drain in the northern part of the room, in the middle of a small pool.

It is just on top of the drain, slightly slipping into it. We are lucky to find it here – like the name says, it could slip down the drain soon, in a couple of hundreds of years. Beside the patrolling enemy, the others found nearby are fairly easy to kill. This area is also described as Nocere Oblitus, where the cruel wards of Zamachar nurture only the strongest foes.

The cistern is found in the city’s underground. To reach it, find the Lambent Passage sewer entrance in the western Nobles District (southwest town area). The entrance is just north from the Nobles Armory, and in general, is quite easy to spot on the map. Inside the sewers, you’ll need to find the room that is just between Bloodmist Slaughterhouse (area of interest to the west) and Taebod the Gatekeeper (group boss to the east).

We need to reach the Vile Drainage from Lambent Passage. The door to this area is found as you head toward the center of the sewer. It is the first door you have to pass through in order to continue your journey. As you enter the Vile Drainage, head toward the Bloodmist Slaughterhouse. Within the second room, east of it, is another circular room. Find a flag with a lion painted on a blue background on top of it. Get to the platform with it, next to some wooden boxes. If you’ve pulled some of the enemies before this part, you can just jump on this platform, and they’ll stop the chase.

The “lion” part of the name is clearly not a mystery once you find it, but the cistern part was a bit confusing for a moment. Maybe the circular room reflects something that should be a cistern. I am out of ideas for this one.

Guide:

The Tower grows roots in the center of the sewers. There are six sewer entrances you use to reach this part of the town’s underground. You can use any of them to enter the sewer and just head to the central part, the largest circular room called Barathrum Centrata.

Unlike the previous 12 shards, you might get killed on your way to this one. Be sure you haven’t died recently, just so you can resurrect on the same spot, without being teleported to another location. This is due to the large number of enemies in this area. Someone might think it is understandable, as we are so close to the “deepest depths”.
