What does the nirnroot missive do

The answer, my fellow alchemists, is nestled within Chivius's own notes. Although he spends a great deal of time with the Nirnroot in his laboratory, the one thing he neglected to test at a high enough level of detail was the soil. As stated previously, Chivius felt that the Sun's Death, the eruption of Red Mountain , contributed to the demise of the Nirnroot.

My amendment to that proposal is that the ash that fell from the sky that entire year mixed with the soil, and again, due to the magical nature of the root, contributed to the aforementioned changes. The ash became a catalyst of sorts, forcing a change in the very makeup of the Nirnroot.

Although very little ash from that dark time remains, I have done tests on newer ash samples sent to me from Vvardenfell.

They show little to no magical properties, certainly none of which could affect a plant to that magnitude. However, the rare occurrence of what's known as Ash Salt in the normal ash does contain very potent magical abilities. In fact, some native Dunmer are said to harness that ability to create a cure for the Blight , which pervaded their realm many years ago. I feel this magic, meshed with the Nirnroot's inherent magic caused the radical change To surmise, my two proposals are certainly linked.

The plant needed to survive, and therefore used a byproduct of its destructor to do so. I present to you, the great and powerful Poison of Damage Health. You can get healing, but not as much as restoration. You can get destruction buffs, but not be as strong as if you had gone down the destruction tree. The potions you can make are excellent, and a couple poisons, namely magicka poisons and paralysis, are really good. It can be used to make potions at an alchemy lab as part of alchemy.

After reading the journal, the quest will update, and you will be required to collect 30 Crimson Nirnroot samples across Blackreach — a difficult but rewarding task there are more than 30 Crimson Nirnroots in Blackreach. Crimson Nirnroots can only be found in Blackreach.
