If you go through all the quests from the princes of the Daedra, then you will definitely get to know Hermeus Mora. This character takes the guise of an incomprehensible substance - the Disgusting Abyss. In "Skyrim" you can meet him when completing the quest "Beyond the Ordinary." How to take and complete this task will be discussed in a short review.
Adventure Start
To activate the quest "Beyond the Ordinary", go to the Post of Septimius Segon. This location is located north of the College of Winterhold. You can also get here when passing the storyline during the quest “The Ancient Scroll”.
Inside the cave you will meet a crazy magician who is studying an incomprehensible Dwemer cube. Septimius will ask to help him open the object. So begins the mission “Beyond the Ordinary”, at the end of which you will meet the Disgusting Abyss in “Skyrim”.

Take from Septimius the Tuning Orb and the Empty Dictionary, and go to the Dwemer ruins of Alfthand. This location is located southwest of Winterhold. Inside the cave you will get through the entrance, hidden under the snow at the bottom of the tower. A rope bridge leads to it, so focus on this object.
In Alftanda itself, it is unsafe, since Falmers have chosen this place. In addition, the location has a lot of Dwemer traps, spheres, spiders. But there is something to profit from, so do not forget to look around the district in search of chests. At the end of the dungeon, a battle with the Centurion awaits you.
After defeating the enemy, take the key from his body and go to the elevator. Near him you will see two arguing characters. They will have to "figure it out", so do not hesitate and attack first. Inspect the bodies, because they have really unique things. Activate the Dwemer mechanism and go to the Black Limit.
Your path lies to the Mzark Tower, but there are many interesting and dangerous along the way to it, so if you are not against new adventures, then be sure to explore the surroundings. Indoors you will find the Oculatorium. Go up to the control panel and put the empty Dictionary on the stand. After that, the two right buttons will open. Click on the right and the third is activated. Interact with it until the light from the lenses goes to the sphere. The fourth button will open, activate it and pick up the Ancient Scroll and the completed Dictionary.
Quest completion
Return to Septimius. The madman will ask you to find all kinds of blood elves and give out the Extractor. At the exit from the cave, you will first encounter the Disgusting Abyss in Skyrim. Talk to the character and go in search of blood. All samples can be collected at once in Alftanda. To do this, find the lost expedition of Sulla Trebatius.
With the collected blood, return to the crazy magician and give the Extractor. The character will open the Dwemer puzzle and run into a cube. Inside lies an ancient book - Ogma Infinium. Instead of the heart of God, Septimius will find death, because as soon as you enter the room, the character will disappear in a bright flash of light. After that, the disgusting abyss of Skyrim will speak to you.

Hermeus Mora will offer to read the book, and choose a path that adds 5 units to some skills. This will be the reward for completing quests from the Disgusting Abyss in Skyrim. What the daedra will answer depends on what skills you want to pump:

Bugs "Skyrim": The disgusting abyss does not speak
In the game, errors occur related to completing the quest "Beyond the Ordinary". And often gamers are faced with the fact that an error occurs - Septimius stands near the book and does not talk. With the disgusting abyss in "Skyrim", respectively, also can not communicate at the end and the quest does not end. In this case, try to kill Segon yourself.
If this does not help, then load the previous save. After that, turn off all active tasks and order your partner, if there is one, to wait near the door. Do not rush to go in front of Septimius, but let the character stay indoors for 2-3 seconds. These steps are enough to fix the bug, and you will complete the task.
