The Great Hunt - Day 4

On a certain day, in a certain place, with certain words, a certain spirit can be called from beyond. That day is now, and the place is here.

Long ago when dragons ruled the land, three dragon priests exacted terror over the North - the Priests of the Pale. Their names - Bahlok the Wrathful, Sahvot the Faithful, Onikaan the Wise. Bahlok and Sahvot are slain, but their brother stirs from the cold beyond.

A special incense can summon his spirit, but I will need the ingredients. Eleven and one there are, scattered through the land of Keizaal. Bring them to me and I will prepare the way.

Certain words will give you the clues you seek. Search this place for the signs, and you will find the way.

Guidelines

Welcome to The Great Hunt, a scavenger hunt across The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim! Find and translate the clues hidden in the dictionary here on the site and locate the ingredient in the correct place in Skyrim. Post a screenshot or picture of your findings to share it with The Wanderer. You can upload your screenshots for posting at imgur.com.

The Great Hunt is both a celebration of the dragon language and Skyrim itself. For the best experience, start a new character. The clues are based on vanilla Skyrim. If you have any mods, be aware of any that might change the type or location of alchemical ingredients found in the world.

Happy hunting!

This is today's translated clue.

"Motmahus pel / dein ko qoth / kolos nahlaas gaaf / nok."

"Slippery write / keep in tomb / where alive ghost / lie."

"Elusive write / guard in tomb / wherein alive ghost / lie."

Lie in this case could mean laying down or a liar, it is not specified.

I believe this is a reference to Shroud Hearth Barrow and Wyndelius Gatharian.

Is ingredient #1 silverside perch?

Is ingredient #1 silverside perch?

A fish, folaas, is useful in many ways but not here.

Is ingredient #1 nirnroot?

Liis

Is ingredient #1 nirnroot?

Neither fish nor nirnroot.

Could the ingredient #1 be Dragon Bones, or Dragon Scales? Going out on a limb here, but that's been bothering me ever since I thought of it. Need to get it out, even if it's wrong!

And also, could ingredient #4 be Bone Meal, or Ectoplasm?

Alas, dragon bones or scales neither. Walk in the shadow of the Hill of Dragons and you will find what you seek.

Well, so far the predicion worked out. Will have to see if it's correct to the end.
