Artifact Location

Dawnstar - Madena's Gauntlets

Spoiler:  
Show

Madena used to be a powerful battlemage in the service of the empire. After the war, she swore to never use destructive magic again, but keeps a pair of powerful enchanted gauntlets in a safe by her bed. There is no key anywhere - Madena unlocks the chest through the use of magic. If you want to get the gauntlets, you'll have to make your way into her safe...

Markarth - Calcelmo's Robes
Spoiler:  
Show

Calcelmo is a scholar studying the Dwemer in Markarth. Is it any surprise that his research lead him to a unique fabric that he made into a powerful robe? It is now kept inside his Dwemer museum, behind a locked door. If you can get past the Markarth guards, this treasure could be yours...




Riften - Wylandriah's Circlet
Spoiler:  
Show

Wylandriah is Riften's Court Mage. While she can be a huge scatterbrain, her skill in magic is undeniable. She keeps an enchanted circlet in her quarters which helps her more easily formulate new theories. She will likely not even notice it going missing - you might even be doing her a favor by relieving her of it...

Solitude - Sybille's Amulet
Spoiler:  
Show

Sybille stentor is the vampiric Court Wizard of Solitude. It is said that a wise man keeps himself out of the dungeons when Sybille is having a bad day. A foolish man, however, might run into a peculiar amulet there...




Windhelm - Wuunferth's Treads
Spoiler:  
Show

Wuunferth the unliving is Windhelm's Court Wizard and has a fierce reputation as a terrifying mage. Part of the reason why he's considered so powerful is a unique pair of enchanted greaves that he keeps in his lab. At first, they seem like an unassuming pair of boots, but they hold much power in the hands of an adept mage...



Morthal - Falion's Ring
Spoiler:  
Show

While not really a Court Wizard, Falion is a master Conjurer who has voluntarily moved to Morthal for mysterious reasons. Having traveled across Tamriel and beyond, there are singularly unsettling rumors surrounding a pouch that he seems to carry on his person at all times...




F.A.Q.

Q1: Some mages/holds seem to be missing?

A1: They're not. There are three NPCs in total that do not have an associated item - Farengar, Nenya, and Malur. Farengar is the only actual court mage between them, and he doesn't have an item owing to the Ebony Blade quest (which I consider to be his "artifact"). Nenya, while a mage, is a steward. Malur, while NOT a mage OR a Court Wizard, has a unique item - the staff of arcane authority. 

Q2: Load order?

A2: Completely irrelevant. I would recommend that you put it high in your load order since it likely won't conflict with anything. 

Q3: Wow, another Ocato's clone...
A4: Okay, I won't even try to refute that lol. The effect is heavily inspired by Ocato's recital with a small twist - it can store MOST spells. Including summons.
