Keening

Keening is a unique dagger crafted by the Dwemer Lord Kagrenac. Keening, Sunder and Wraithguard are the three legendary tools created to control the Heart of Lorkhan. Arniel Gane, who is researching what happened to the Dwemer, had Keening brought to Skyrim during the quest Arniel's Endeavor. His goal is to use it in an experiment to finally solve the mystery of the Dwemer's disappearance.

Before the completion of the quest Arniel's Endeavor, Keening has a "Mortal Wound" effect, lowering maximum health by 5 points as long as it is equipped.

Notes [ edit ]

Keening also previously appeared in TES III: Morrowind . Unlike many of the recurring artifacts that appear in Skyrim, it retains almost an exact physical resemblance to the item found in the older game, albeit with different enchantments.

. Unlike many of the recurring artifacts that appear in Skyrim, it retains almost an exact physical resemblance to the item found in the older game, albeit with different enchantments. When usable (see bug below), the enchantment delivers "Keening's Sting" on every hit. Visually, it appears to combine the three special draining effects together. It can be resisted with magic resistance.

Myrwatch's galleryCC contains a special holder for this item.
