All right, I'm anxious to get started on mournhold again...
Regarding the daedra-quest for the temple, I think you're right; those atronarchs are history. My problem is, I did that a long time ago, figured "I'll just get back to it", and did about 20 levels worth of other stuff... I will not go back to such an early save!
About the staff, I'm on the box so I can't use any console cheats. Also, I can't enchant a silver staff with the same abilities and call it a staff of peace, the computer won't accept it. SO, I'm stuck in yet another pickle.
Any other advice?
