Looking through the wikis I see two possibilities for what may have happened: I found a shard before reading the book (The Aetherium Wars), or going to the Dwemer ruin, and didn't have a problem with the quest. Originally posted by BlacKy.but i think that because i've found a shard too early, the book now doesnt trigger the quest.I don't think so, at least not that alone. So how do i force-start the quest? Is there a consule command to try? Sadly the quest log seems to have a limited amount of quests that it can show (if anyone knows a mod which helps categorize quests in the journal in alphabetical order, now is a good time to talk). I tried to search the quest in the quest log but havent found it. I tried to keep doing this in the 'manual' way and to make the compass at the Ruins of Bthalft, but i cant do it on my own. Right now im have the posession of all the 4 shards by using the wiki to know where to find them, without a quest to guide me. The main problem is with Katria's journal which i should have found on her body at Arkngthamz, but i not shown, for obvious reasons. I was originally supposed to start the quest by reading a book, but i think that because i've found a shard too early, the book now doesnt trigger the quest.

The thing is, that i may or may not started the quest by picking up one of the shards (right side i think), and since then i cant track down the original start of the quest, and now im stuck with it. In short: The quest should start while reading a book called The Aetherium Wars. In the past when i played Skyrim, i stumbled upon one of the Glowing crystal shards without starting the actual quest.įor quite a time this shard was kept in my inventory till yesterday i've decided to try and do its quest, Lost to the Ages.
