Soul Cairn is a huge zone. There are many side quests to do around the Soul Cairn. Explore it fully and talk to all the souls.
One of the souls you talk to asks for your help in finding Arvak, his
loyal horse. This begins a side quest (Under Miscellaneous):
Find Arvak's skull in the Soul Cairn
Set the Misc. the objective as active and follow the marker on the radar. (note: the arrow won't appear until you are closer to the skull). Go towards a floating tower. Arvak's Skull is on top of a pedestal surrounded by pillars, just go east from the castle where you met Valerica. It is guarded by some Mistman.
See screenshots below for help:
Return the skull to Arvak and he gives you the ability:
Summon Arvak
Summons Arvak in the Soul Cairn or Tamriel Wilderness to act as your steed
Arvak is a very cool flaming mount.
Near
a ruined structure, you also meet a soul called Morven Stroud, a former
trader who wants you to gather 25 Soul Husks, and in return he will
sell you whatever wares are left in his carriage. He sells you some weapons such as a Steel Sword. None of the weapons he sells are really spectacular, so its probably not worth it to waste time gathering those soul husks.
Location of Jiub
To find Jiub, go through the big wall that cuts Soul Cairn into two pieces (north and south). Then go east past two soul wells, turn left and go past three more soul wells. Keep going in the same direction and you will see a house, look for the soul a bit to the right of the house.
The soul, called Jiub tells you he cannot write his Opus with all of these rude interruptions. He had lost all of his pages. He asks you if you have heard of "The Rise and Fall of Saint Jiub the Eradicator: Hero of Morrowind and Savior of the Dunmer". He does not appreciate your suggestion of a shorter title. He wants you to find all the pages he lost. This starts the side quest:
Impatience of a Saint
