The quest is broken for me

SO is there another way to get keening? i dont even care about quest i just want the blade since it was in morrowind! i read on the wiki there is a bug where you can't turn it in if "you have encountered the blade before the quest" so how can i encounter it without the broken quest?

spoilers.

There is another board for spoiler-related questions and discussion.

But to answer your question: no.
