If you have found and explored Raldbthar and have unlocked its great lift already, just skip the next paragraph and continue on. Raldbthar is full of bandits and dwarven automatons if you havent cleared it before now, feel free to now.
Further in there is a lever that leads to the Raldbthar Deep Market which is filled with falmer. Work your way past them and the traps until you reach a large room with some falmer , charus and gears on the walls that have bones stuck inside them.
Free the 4 bones and dwarven scrap metal underwater from the gears to unlock the bridge button and fight with the centurian. In the next room you see an entrance into Blackreach , bypass it and head down the other corridor into a small side path where Katria's ghost awaits you in front of the 2nd Aetherium Shard.
Exit through the great lift up to the surface and head north of Markarth to Deep Folk Crossing. Head up to the top of the site to see what looks to be an altar of some kind, the 3rd shard is on the backside of it.
Travel to Mzulft but dont go inside, the 4th shard is inside a Dwarven Storeroom south of the entrance to Mzulft , it is behind either one locked gate or two locked doors and depending on your lockpicking the doors may be easier.
Pick up the Shard and head back outside. The Forge is located at the Ruins of Bthalft , when you reach them Katria will ask to speak with you. After you speak with her you need to activate the Dwemer Mechanism which looks like two circular wheels with an arrow shot through them. As you finish placing them the wheels spin the arrow around and then stops. Katria speaks up that you should try taking it out. Am I missing something? Reading the book 'The Aetherium Wars' will initially only trigger a miscellaneous quest in which you have to 'Investigate the ruins of Arkngthamz':.
As user Roddy of the Frozen Peas suggested, there are other methods to get the quest 'Lost to the Ages' started. Apart from reading the book 'The Aetherium Wars', you can. Another possible explanation is that you encountered a bug that prevents you from properly starting the quest even if the requirements are met. There are two bugs mentioned on the UESP quest page that your playthrough might have been affected by:.
Reading The Aetherium Wars may not add the miscellaneous objective "Investigate Arkngthamz" to your quest log. Upon investigating Arkngthamz, "Lost to the Ages" may not be added to quest log, either, meaning that you will be unable to complete the quest. A way to fix [this] is to reload a save in which you have not started the Dawnguard questline, then drop The Aetherium Wars and any crystal shards if you have obtained any, and pick the book back up and read it.
The quest should start, and then you can pick up the shards. This quest may not start if, after installing Dawnguard, you have visited Mzulft or Deep Folk Crossing prior to reading The Aetherium Wars and the corpses at these locations have been fully removed from the game.

Hmm, either my char isn't considered "ready" yet, or, Bethesda has changed it's locations. I also looked at Mzult, and no go there either. Frankly, I forget where I found it on my other now deleted chars. Oh well ColleenG When in doubt, follow the fox.
Oh boy I find that book everywhere. I think you'll run into it in no time. The question is, IS there any Aetherium anywhere else in Skyrim?
