At its end you will find a stone path which will lead you to Glacial Crevice.
Inside the cave, keep heading forward and up, until you find the exit to the Forgotten Vale.
At the end of the gorge there's a high-placed village. Go up the bridges and onto the narrow path in the east.
At the very bottom you will find a tunnel which will lead you to the shrine.
New primary objective: Enter the Inner Sanctum and find Arch-Curate Vyrthur
After drawing water from the last bowl, head to the nearby temple.
Above, behind the statue you will find a pedestal onto which you need to pour the water. That way you will open the gate.
Put the water jug onto the pedestal on the left, thanks to which you will unlock a passage into a room with a Frost Giant. The beast can deal large damage bur is rather slow, so you shouldn't have problems with defeating it.
You can also head back to the exit. That way the beast will get blocked in the passage and become an easy target (just look out for frost beasts!).
When the area's clear, take the jug and the items lying by the corpse and head to the other side before the gate closes. Inside the Giant room you will find another pedestal on which you can put the vessel.
On the other side there's a treasure chest.
Take everything you can from it and bring the jug to the first room. The corridor in the north will take you to Auriel's Shrine, where you will have to fight with Arch-Curate Vyrthur.
