If you’re looking to join the Arcane University in The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered, you’ll first need recommendations from local Mages Guilds. An intriguing recommendation situation occurs in Chorrol. During the day, you’ll spot a woman named Earana lingering around the Mages Guild, which many residents find peculiar. If you speak with Teekeeus, the local guild leader, he’ll ask you to discover what Earana is after. She’ll reveal that she’s seeking a book titled Fingers of the Mountain.
Although Teekeeus initially dismissed the book as mere legend, he grows concerned about Earana’s interest in it and requests that you retrieve it for him instead. Finding the book is straightforward, but deciding whom to return it to adds a layer of complexity. While Teekeeus appears to be the more trustworthy choice, there may be valid reasons behind Earana’s grudge against him, making it tough to determine who deserves your trust.
How to Get Fingers of the Mountain
A Quick Trip Up the Mountain
To start the “Chorrol Recommendation” quest, you need to speak specifically with Teekeeus. After that, head outside to find Earana in the day. If she’s not around, try The Grey Mare, the local inn where she often stays. Obtain the quest from her, then return to Teekeeus to have it marked on your map.
Exit Chorrol through the North Gate and take the mountain path where the quest indicator leads you. At the end, you’ll discover Cloud Top, marked by a charred corpse next to a broken pillar. Here, you can collect the Fingers of the Mountain from the body and return to Chorrol, where you’ll decide whom to give the book to.
What Happens If You Give the Book to Teekeeus
Prioritizing the Recommendation
Handing the book over to Teekeeus is the easy choice. He will accept Fingers of the Mountain and subsequently give you the recommendation you need. After securing the book, he will store it safely in a chest in his Mages Guild room. As a member of the Mages Guild, you’ll have access to this chest, allowing you to retrieve it again if you wish. Completing this task rewards you with two fame points.
Don’t waste your time reading Fingers of the Mountain—it’s just an item, not an actual book.
If you talk to Earana after giving the book to Teekeeus, she’ll express disappointment but quickly ask you to steal it back for her. This initiates “Fingers of the Mountain, Part 2,” the sequel to your quest. Return to Earana after stealing the book, and she’ll instruct you to come back the next day for a reward. When you reunite, she’ll provide a passage from the book and tell you to visit Cloud Top to follow the new directions.
This passage suggests using a shock spell on the pillar at Cloud Top, although it’s vague as to what will happen. If you heed her advice and return to Cloud Top to cast a shock spell on the pillar, you’ll gain a leveled shock spell known as Finger of the Mountain, completing the quest. If you lack a shock spell and haven’t previously accessed Jauffre’s chest, check Weynon Priory for a shock scroll; I had no luck finding one in the Mages Guild or the local store.
What Happens If You Give the Book to Earana
The Chaotic Choice Won’t Ruin Any Plans
If you choose to give the book directly to Earana, you’ll trigger the same sequence regarding Cloud Top. Earana will leave to translate the book and return with the instructions to activate the pillar. Regardless of the order in which you hand over the book, you’ll still be able to get the Finger of the Mountain spell. For giving the book to Earana, you’ll earn one fame point.
After giving the book to Earana, you can chat with Teekeeus, who will also request that you steal the book back. This once again initiates “Fingers of the Mountain, Part 2,” but this time focusing on the other perspective. Now, you’ll need to steal it from Earana at The Grey Mare.
If you successfully steal the book back, Teekeeus will recommend you to the Arcane University, forgiving your earlier mistake in giving the book to Earana. However, you won’t earn any additional fame points, aside from the one gained for initially handing Fingers of the Mountain over to her.
You Should Give Fingers of the Mountain to Teekeeus
A Marginal Advantage
Ultimately, there’s no benefit to giving Fingers of the Mountain to Earana first. Regardless of the route you choose, you can secure both Teekeeus’s recommendation and the instructions from Earana to unlock the Finger of the Mountain spell. By giving it to Teekeeus first, you’ll earn two fame points instead of just one, providing a minor but valuable advantage.
If you pay attention to where Teekeeus puts the book, it will be easier to steal it from him than from Earana, as you won’t need to break in.
That said, since both outcomes are quite similar, either choice doesn’t seriously impact the quest. If you’ve already given the book to Earana, reloading the game just for an extra fame point may not be worth it. Opting to hand the book to Teekeeus first generally proves to be the wiser choice. The key takeaway is to ensure you give Fingers of the Mountain to both Teekeeus and Earana to maximize your rewards in Oblivion Remastered.
