Dremora Plunder Skulls
Dremora Plunder Skull will be available this Witches Festival. You can gain a Dremora Plunder Skull the first time you defeat each different type of boss each day. While these will contain the same items found in regular plunder skulls, you are guaranteed to gain a new Dremora Motif page depending on the boss you conquer. Dremora Motifs are tradeable, so you don’t get the one you want you can always swap with someone else. The type of motif page you will gain will depend on the boss-type:

This quest is available once a day from the Witchmother Taerma who you can find lurking in the Olyve’s Brewery AND at every Impresario tent in Tamriel. Taerma will task you with collecting 50 Cursed Feathers found within the Plunder Skull containers. After collecting 50 feathers, you can transform them into an effigy that can be used to transport yourself into a special realm to battle a new World Boss monster!
