I love this description he gives of Wiesel’s face: “It looks like a map of the world, if the world had been wounded but still managed to laugh.” Ariel Burger’s own religious sensibility was formed in part by the contrast between the two homes of his parents, who divorced when he was young - both Jewish, yet in his father’s home, artistic and less observant in his mother’s, attending an ultra-orthodox school that gave him a deep, early immersion in Jewish tradition and text. He’s the author of Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel’s Classroom. I’m Krista Tippett, and this is On Being.Īriel Burger is a rabbi, as well as an artist and teacher. The way there includes lamentation for our losses, learning the difference between being a spectator or bearing witness, and a sacred understanding of memory as far more than contact with information about the past. It is an exercise in what Wiesel’s friend and teacher, the great Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, spoke of as the religious calling to be maladjusted with positive moral force, neither indifferently conformed to the reality of evil and suffering, nor inured to wondrous and redemptive possibilities we can make real. This conversation offers vocabularies, ways of seeing to enrich our capacities in this daunting age. And we also experience, over our conversational shoulder, some offerings of his teacher, the late, extraordinary Elie Wiesel, who survived the Holocaust and became a figure of towering moral wisdom amidst the 20th century’s terrors. So today we take in a rich, rabbinic perspective on our time, that of Ariel Burger. I’m interested in the wisdom, which at once holds and evolves, in the conversation across generations that this part of the human enterprise carries. He thanks you for restoring the chantry, and agrees to give you Auriel's Bow.Krista Tippett, host: I’m intrigued by this question that I hear rolling around the world right now, even in the most secular of corners: What do religious people and traditions have to offer and teach as we do the work ahead of repairing, renewing, and remaking our societies, our life together? I’m interested in the theological and mystical depths that are so much richer and more creative than is often imagined, even when that question is raised. He is shocked to find out that Vyrthur was a vampire. Speak to Knight-Paladin Gelebor, who shows up on the balcony, and tell him what happened. After the dialog between Vrthur and Serana ends, attack Vyrthur and kill him. He wants to take revenge on the god Auriel for not protecting him. Serana realizes that Vyrthur is a vampire himself. Serana urges you to get up and give chase. There is a big explosion and you fall on the ground. If that's not enough, he also summons a Frozen Frost Atronach. After you defeat the enemies, Vyrthur pulls down the ceiling causing debris to fall on you. After the dialog is over, the Forzen Chaurus and Frozne Falmers in the chamber come to life and attack you. Confront Arch-Curate Vyrthur who is sitting at the throne. Drop down to the lower level, then go east through a narrow corridor. Travel through the tunnel, and enter Auriel's Chapel. In one of the next rooms, find a hole in the wall to the west. Go through the door to the north, then enter the inner hall north by northwest. In the first hall, interact with the Shrine of Auriel to receive the Blessing of Auriel.

The halls inside the temple are full of frozen Falmers. Wait a few seconds, and the Inner Sanctum door opens. Climb the stairs from either side, and pour water into the basin. Climb the stairs and pass through the gate, cross the bridge, climb some more steps, and arrive at the temple courtyard with a big statue of Auriel in the center. From the last wayshrine, go north and northeast towards the big building. After filling the Initiate's Ewer in all five Wayshrines in Darkfall Passage and the Forgotten Vale, your next objective in the quest "Touching the Sky" is to gain entry to the Inner Sanctum.
