This place's forbidding black towers are visible for leagues, even through Rivenspire's drifting mists. Yet the local inhabitants never mention it, behaving as if it doesn't even exist. But the Crypt of Hearts is no illusion or mirage—it is solid and all too real.

The Crypt of Hearts

The Crypt of Hearts II is a group dungeon found in Rivenspire.

Formerly a school teaching Destruction magic, sword fighting, alchemy, and possibly even Daedric summoning, the crypt is now home to some of the tortured souls of its teachers and of its students.

The storyline continues from the events of Crypt of Hearts I. In this version, Alanwe once again needs your help defeating her former husband, who has returned to torment her following her escape from torture.

You can learn about its location from Eraegaer the Kill-Happy in Marbruk, Ilmindil the Incendiary in Shornhelm, or Roaring Ramavel in Stormhold.

The final boss, Nerien'eth, has a chance to drop the Great Eltheric Pearl antiquity lead for the Pearls of Ehlnofey.
