Return to Delera's Reliquary. Find the last party that the Silver Flame sent into the reliquary, and return with Janiel's journal.

Important Prerequisite Action:

After quest completion of The Mystery of Delera's Tomb, speak again to Derek Grospic at the graveyard entrance in House Jorasco in order to activate Colam Mersein in the graveyard.
The quest is granted and completed by Colam, a priest inside the graveyard that attends a funeral.
Colam will NOT grant the quest until you speak to Derek after completion of the first quest.
For players without a holy/good or flametouched weapon against the Ghostly Skeletons, the quest granter gives a special club that can be optionally used. Note the Ghostly Skeletons' DR is just DR/Good, and not Blunt. So even a flametouched iron greataxe will deal more damage than a regular maul.
Be sure to speak to Colam first, immediately after quest completion, to keep the story arc chain operational. He allows access to the next quest, Free Delera.

Traps (fixed, some undisarmable)
Spawning/respawning monsters
Extra player(s)/hireling(s) required (mandatory: 1 player/hireling to pull a lever that controls several gates thus allowing another party member to pull a second lever so that the party can proceed; optional: 1 player to alternate between two pressure plates that control several underwater doors thus allowing the rest of the party to go through)

Two sets of acid traps (one-time trip) guarding Omaren Sniper chest; no way to disable
Spike traps after climbing several flights of stairs; control panel is on the southeast corner. Trap activates when "I" rune is stepped on.

Either have a friend or a henchmen for this quest, two people are required at some point, one will need to go up a small path, and the other will need to operate a lever to raise/lower the gates.
When you get caged in just before the first shrine, the gates are timed for about a minute before reopening.
For the optional swimming part, the gates must be activated alternately in order to get through. Hirelings are difficult to use for doing this (see steps below).
A rogue or knock spell is needed for a locked door in area with second shrine on the ground floor.
Stepping on the trigger plate under the "I" rune causes enemies to appear and a spike trap to activate.
The book will remain in your inventory; however, it can safely be destroyed as soon as it's picked up and the quest finishes.
Recent research has indeed uncovered a method how the whole quest (including all optionals) can be completed with only a hireling as support - including the underwater gate/swimming part. What you need is a hireling with a Summon Monster spell. Here's a brief description of how to do it:

Step on the pressure plate right/west of the pool once. This causes the first three underwater gates to be open while the fourth (and last) will be closed.
Position your hire just in front of the left/east pressure plate with his back turned to the corresponding rune. This is the rune that looks like a slanted capital letter 'A'.
Now, you might want to do a test. Let your hire use his summon monster spell. The summoned creature should trigger the pressure plate, and make the rune's status change. If not, you might need to reposition your hire.
As soon as you have found the proper position, order your hire to stand ground. Confirm that the west rune is on/lit, and the east rune is off/unlit (the first 3 gates are open while the fourth is closed). Jump into the pool and swim to the last gate. Now, order your hire to summon again. The fourth gate should open after a few seconds.
Swim through the gate and upwards, get out of the water and toggle the switch on the left wall which opens all gates. At that point, you can call your hireling to join you again and proceed.

Another method is to select the nearby resurrection shrine, and position the hireling directly to the south of the pressure plate. If done correctly, once you tell the hireling to use the shrine, he will step on the plate on his way there.
