1: HINTS, TIPS and GENERAL INFO

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SAVE, SAVE OFTEN, and SAVE SAVES. Always keep a save from before you take a quest.

Many are the tales of woe I've been told by those who will not listen. But

seriously, you never know when your game may hiccup and leave you up a creek.

I suggest keeping a standard save at the beginning of the quest and using the

Quicksave feature during if you are a compulsive saver, like me.

If you're not sure you're in the right place or doing the right thing, check

your journal. If you need a direction, make sure the quest you're working on

is your active quest. This usually provides a map marker.

Talk to everyone, you never know who will give you a hint or a new quest.

##Most rewards are leveled. So, the higher your level the more gold you will

receive and the more powerful enchanted items will be.

##ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR JOURNAL. If it tells you to speak to someone, speak to

that person. If it tells you to go somewhere, go there. Skipping actions

specified in your journal can preclude certain things from happening and quest

items and events from appearing. The only exception to this is the

"Imperial Corruption" quest which is bugged, see the quest entry for details.

Your map markers are your best friends. Always make sure the quest you're

working on is your active quest and you'll generally have a map marker to lead

you on your merry way. Repeated because people often forget this. =)

Keep your armor and weapons in good repair. They will not do as much damage or

offer as much protection if they're in need of fixing.

===============================================================================

2: IMPERIAL CITY

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.1 IMPERIAL CORRUPTION

REWARD: None, except the knowledge you have done a good deed.

At 8pm in the Market District by the entrance to Green Emporer Way, look for

an Orc named Luronk gro-Glurzog. He may also be found wandering the Market

during the day, this was simply when I came across him. Talk to Luronk. Seems

there's a corrupt Imperial watchman in the city shaking down the local shop

owners. While Luronk and his wife were in Jensine's, the watchman accused him

of theft and took all his money. The Orc doesn't have his name but Jensine

might. Head over to Good As New Merchandise and see what she has to say.

Jensine is less than happy to tell you about this. She believes in keeping her

head down, avoiding trouble. Butter her up enough and you'll get the guard's

name, Audens Avidius, the Watch Captain for the Market. He extorts money

from all the shopkeepers in return for 'allowing' them to do business.

Head back outside and find one of the guards. Ask about Corrupt Imperial

Watchmen. He wont help you but he will tell you to see Heironymus Lex. Now,

VERY IMPORTANT, you'll see Audens Avidius in the Market, I wouldn't ask him

about Imperial Corruption. He tells you you're stupid, decides you've just

'attacked' him and promptly arrests you. Avoid him and follow your map marker

to Heironymus Lex. He's usually hanging out in the waterfront indulging his

obsession with the Gray Fox.

Lex doesn't have time for you, he's too busy tracking his arch nemesis, the

Gray Fox. He suggests you try another Guard Captain, Itius Hayn. Follow your

map marker again.

Captain Hayn is willing to arrest Audens Avidius, but only if you can find two

witnesses willing to testify against him. Head back to Jensine's in the Market

District. She's unwilling to testify. She doesn't want to cause trouble and

can't be persuaded. On to your next witness.

Luronk lives in the Temple District. You'll find him at home in the mornings.

He will agree to testify, once you raise his disposition enough. If you were

lucky, you found a redguard named Ruslan with Luronk. He's your second

witness. If he wasn't there, never fear, his house is right around the corner

from Luronk's. Ruslan will also agree if he likes you enough.

Your journal will now update, telling you to keep an eye on the witnesses thru

the night to make sure they reach Itius Hayn in the morning. Ignore it. Your

journal is wrong. You'll notice that, though it tells you to watch them, you

have a map marker in a different district. The marker is for Captain Hayn.

Follow this.

To get the completion, follow Captain Hayn when he leaves the guard tower

around 9am. Sometime around 11am, the map marker for him will disappear. Talk

to him and he'll tell you he got the testimony from the witnesses, even though

he never saw them. He'll now lead you to the Market District where you'll get

to watch him arrest Audens Avidius. Don't lose him after the map marker

vanishes, don't fast travel to the Market thinking to beat him there, you wont

see him if you do. Be patient and follow him.

Shortly after you witness the arrest, your journal will update and the quest

will complete.

There is no reward for this quest. There is a surprise. Sometime in the two

weeks following the arrest, you'll receive a surprise visit from one of the

interested parties, wherever you happen to be: In a city, in a dungeon,

dueling daedra in Oblivion. Enjoy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2 UNFRIENDLY COMPETITION

REWARD: Weatherward Circlet - Resist Fire 15%, Resist Frost 15%

Constant Effect

200 gold

Some of the shop owners in the Market District want you to go see Jensine at

Good as New Merchandise. They're having a problem with a fellow merchant.

Jensine wants you to investigate a new shop, The Copius Coinpurse. The owner,

Thoronir, is undercutting the other shops and Jensine is convinced his goods

are stolen.

Head over to the Copius Coinpurse and ask about his inventory. He'll refuse

to tell you where it comes from, citing mysterious sources. Now for a little

private eye work.

Find yourself a comfy spot outside his shop. At 8pm, Thoronir will close down

for the day and head over to the Merchant's Inn for an evening drink. Nothing

to do here but watch him knock back a few tasty ales after a hard day's

standing around. He'll be here until 11pm.

When he leaves the Inn, follow him to the garden behind his shop where he meets

up with an unsavory fellow named Agarmir. Go ahead and sneak right up to them.

Their conversation wont activate until you're close enough. I know, I stood

behind the well all night thinking I was being sneaky and nothing happened. =)

You'll overhear Thoronir wanting to know when the next shipment will arrive.

Agarmir is his supplier and very secretive about where he's getting his goods

from. He tells Thoronir he has another shipment coming in tomorrow.

Your new mark is Agarmir. When they're done talking, follow Agarmir back to

his home in the Talos Plaza District. Now get comfy. You need to get into his

house but you can't do that when he's home. He should leave the house around

4pm. Make sure the guards aren't looking when you pick the lock.

Inside, head for the basement. Here you'll find evidence that the merchandise

he sells Thoronir is looted from the graves of the dead. On a table at the

back is a book titled "Macabre Manifest". Take this and confront Thoronir with

it. Be sure to give it a read before you hand it over, the second to last

entry is an easter egg of sorts. Any good with anagrams?

Thoronir is shocked, in disbelief that all his goods were robbed from the dead.

Once you show him the manifest, he's willing to help you catch Agarmir in the

act and tells you where to find him.

Head over to Green Emporer Way. In the graveyard, Agarmir and a friend are

in the act of robbing yet another grave. Enter the Trentius Family Mausoleum.

Agarmir has been waiting for you. Kill them at your leisure as the penalty for

grave robbing is death. When you're done, BE SURE to pick up Agarmir's shovel

before you leave. Once you leave the mausoleum, you wont be able to get back

in, so don't leave without the shovel.

Once you show Thoronir the shovel, he is crushed. He vows to turn all his

profits over to the temple and to join the merchants society, having buried the

hatchett with Jensine while you were gone. He will reward you with the

Weatherward Circlet. Head over to Jensine's and she too will reward you a

a small sum of gold for your help.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.3 ORDER OF THE VIRTUOUS BLOOD

REWARD: Ring of Sunfire - Resist disease 15%

Reflect Spell 11%

Go to the Temple District and wander around at various times until you find a

Dunmer woman named Ralsa Norvalo. She should initiate conversation with you.

Her husband has sent her to look for you and wants you to meet him at the home

of a man named Seridur. Seridur's house is here in the Temple District, just

follow your map marker or find it on the map.

Seridur will greet you as you enter and have you follow him to the basement.

He reveals that he and Ralsa's husband are members of a secret society, the

Order of the Virtuous Blood, dedicated to ridding Tamriel of Vampires. But,

they're old and no longer able to fight vampires. They need you to track down

a vampire they've discovered operating in the city, Roland Jenseric. Seridur

himself says he saw Roland murder an innocent woman and then escaped. Your job

is to hunt him down and kill him.

Head over to Roland Jenseric's house. It's on the other side of the garden

from Seridur's house. Time for a little breaking and entering to hunt for

clues. As you enter his home, you'll see a dinner table. On the table is a

book, on top of the book is a letter from Roland's lover, the woman who was

killed. It's kind of hard to see. Read it and you'll find they were planning

on going out to his cabin. You should have a new map marker now. His cabin

is due East of the sewers where you exited at the beginning of the game.

Make your way to the cabin during the day and confront Roland. He pleads with

you not to kill him and tells you you're after the wrong guy. It was he who saw

his lover murdered, by Seridur in the garden that night. Seridur allowed him

to escape so he could cast the blame away from himself, hiding the fact that he

is the true vampire.

Roland doesn't know where to find him, but tells you to visit the First Edition

bookshop in the Market District. The owner might know more about Seridur's

whereabouts. Now, you can kill Roland if you want, however, you'll be missing

out on a steady source of gold later.

At the First Edition, the owner, Phintias, has some information about Seridur

he'll share if he likes you enough. It seems Seridur makes regular trips to a

place called Memorial Cave, to supposedly pay his respects to an ancestor.

Phintias will give you a map marker if you ask him. The cave is SW of the city

on the shore, just across the lake. Go prepared to heal and a detect life spell

can save you some headaches in there.

Memorial Cave is a vampire den. There are nine or ten of them in here,

including Seridur. He's at the very back of the cave system. Make sure to grab

the Vampire dust from each one you kill. It will come in handy later, if you

left Roland alive. You can easily tackle the vampires one at a time as they're

spread out. Take your time and be sure to check your status menu when you

leave to see if you've been infected with Porphyrric Hemophilia. If so, just go

to a chapel and get a blessing from an altar to remove it.

Return to Roland at the cabin and tell him of your success. He's relieved to

know Seridur wont be coming for him in the night and asks you to meet him at

Seridur's house later. Head on over and you'll find Roland in the cellar with

the other members of the Order.

In gratitude for killing Seridur, they make you a member of the order and will

pay you 250 gold for every vampire dust you turn in. They also reward you with

the Ring of Sunfire to help you in your fight against the undead.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.4 AN UNEXPECTED VOYAGE

REWARD: Blackwater Blade - Absorb Fatigue 20 pts. for 5 sec. on strike

Gold - leveled reward (the higher your level, the more gold you make)

The Bloated Float is located on the Imperial City Waterfront. Don't confuse it

with the Pirate ship also moored there. If you step on the pirate's deck, they

will attack you. The Bloated Float is on the other side. Talk to Ormil, the

owner, get a bed and sleep for atleast twelve hours. When you wake, you'll find

the boat has mysteriously put out to sea with you aboard.

Open the door to your room and you'll find a brigand, Lynch, standing guard in

the hall. He's a little surprised to see you there. They've hijacked the

Bloated Float. The bouncer has been locked in the storage room down the hall.

After you've dealt with Lynch, take his orders and the key from his corpse.

Head down the hall and free the bouncer, an Orc named Graman gro-Marad. Graman

tells you the Blackwater Brigands stormed the boat, taking him and the owner,

Ormil, hostage. He needs you to clear a path to the helm for him so he can

steer the ship home. There seem to be four brigands.

On the Tavern deck, you'll find Minx. After dealing with her, take the key from

her corpse and head to the top deck, the door above the bar. Wrath awaits you,

wanting to know if his cohorts have found something called the Golden Galleon

yet. End his pirating days and remove the key from his body.

Back on the Tavern Deck, let Graman know the coast is clear. He'll head up to

the wheel, but not before refusing to move the ship until Ormil is safe.

The Captain's cabin is the door behind the bar. Use the key you got from Wrath

to get in.

Here you'll find Selene, the Blackwater Brigands leader. You have two choices

here.

A: Tell her to Free Ormil or that you took the key from Lynch and you're the

ship's cook. She'll attack and you can kill her.

B: Tell her you took the key from Wrath and you're here to join the gang.

Use these conversation choices: Three months ago, to find the Golden

Galleon, You mean in Bravil.

Realising you know everything and have killed the rest of her gang, she will

surrender and give you her blade.

Speak to Ormil again and he'll tell you to lock her up. Lead Selene back

to the Inn Deck and the locked room you can't enter. She'll go into the

room, updating your journal.

Speak to Ormil after Selene is dealt with, one way or the other. He'll tell

you he created the myth of the Golden Galleon to give his business a boost. He

never imagined anyone would hijack his ship to find it. He's very grateful and

tells you to go back to your room and rest while they return to port.

Head on back to your room and take another twelve hour nap.

When you wake, go back to the Tavern Deck and talk to Ormil. He thanks you

again for your help and offers you a share of the reward for Selene's capture

or death. The amount of gold is leveled. You'll receive more at a higher

level. The ship is now moored in the Imperial City again.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.5 DO YOU NEED COURIERS??

This quest isn't actually in the game. You'll notice you get a topic update for

this at some point. There is no quest. It doesn't appear to have made it into

the finished version of the game. Just ignore it. Maybe we'll get it in the

next update. ...or not.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.6 GO FISH

REWARD: Jewel of the Rumare - Water Breathing on Self

Fortify Athletics 4 pts.

In the village of Weye, outside the Imperial City, across the bridge from the

Chestnut Handy Stables, talk to a man named Aelwin Merowald. You'll find him in

his house, on your left as you come off the bridge or wandering the street or

his garden.

Don't laugh. He needs the scales from twelve Rumare Slaughterfish for a well

paying alchemist. He's looking to retire after almost losing a leg to the

slaughterfish. You're going to do the legwork for him. Lake Rumare, of course,

is the Lake the Imperial City sits in the middle of.

You're going to be doing a lot of swimming on this one. Lake Rumare is big and

the fish spawn all over the place. Remember to take the scales from each one

as you kill them. That is the point after all.

Each time you kill one, it takes a few seconds for the next to spawn. Just

follow your map markers to the next fish. A decent Life Detection spell or

enchantment makes spotting them in the water ridiculously easy.

##Keep a save from before you took this quest. Some people have had issues with

one of the slaughterfish spawning inside a rock out in the lake, making it

impossible to kill and glitching the quest. If this happens to you, reload and

start again.

When you have all twelve, your journal will update, telling you to return to

Aelwin with the scales. He's very grateful and rewards you with a ring, the

Jewel of the Rumare.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.7 ORIGIN OF THE GRAY PRINCE

REWARD: Gray Prince's Training - Permanent +3 Blade, Block and Athletics

Go to the Arena and speak with the Gray Prince, Agronak gro-Malog. He needs you

to help him find proof of his noble birthright. His training regimen doesn't

allow him the time to do it himself. His mother died recently and gave him a

key, telling him it would unlock the secret of his birth. He gives this key

to you, wanting to know the truth about his father, Lord Lovidicus.

You'll be travelling to Fort Crowhaven.

The ruin of this Fort is NW of Anvil, located almost directly above the "A" in

Anvil on your map. You should have a map marker.

In Crowhaven, follow the corridors to the very back of the first floor. You'll

find Lord Lovidicus walking the halls of his bedchamber. The key will gain you

entry. Speaking with him is impossible. He's gone mad. You'll have to kill

him. On a table in the alcove to the right of his bed, you'll find his

journal, detailing his love of Agronak's mother and how she became pregnant

with his child. After telling her he was a vampire, she fled with her unborn

son, sealing Lovidicus in his chamber. Lack of blood has driven him mad.

The journal is the evidence you need to bring back to Agronak. After you

return, Agronak bestows his training on you and then has a bit of a breakdown

after reading his Father's journal and discovering he's half vampire.

##NOTE: If you do this quest and later challenge the Gray Prince for the title

of Grand Champion of the Arena, he will accept but he WILL NOT FIGHT. The

knowledge of his birth has broken him and he only wants to die now, believing

himself to be the spawn of evil.

You'll have to murder him, as he'll just stand there and take whatever you

throw at him. You wont get a bounty, but you will get a murder added to your

statistics. Some people use this to enter the Dark Brotherhood. It's a great

way to rack up a murder without a bounty.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.8 BUYING A HOUSE IN THE IMPERIAL CITY

Go to the Office of Imperial Commerce in the Market District. Talk to Vinicia

Melissaeia. She'll offer you a shack on the waterfront for 2,000 gold. It's

small but very handy and relatively inexpensive when you're low on cash and

need a place to safely stash your goodies.

Go visit your new house. When you enter, your journal will update telling you

to go to Three Brother's Trade Goods in the Market to furnish your house.

Talk to Sergius Verus. He has all your furnishings.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 3,630 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 64 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.9 A VENERABLE VINTAGE

REWARD: 1,000 Gold

In Weye, across the bridge from the stables, go to Wawnet Inn and speak with

Nerussa. She is a collector of rare wines and is looking for six bottles of

Shadowbanish Wine. It was created by an Alchemist for soldiers and only in a

very small quantity. The Wine can usually be found in the ruins of old Forts.

LOCATIONS:

Fort Carmala: Due South of Chorrol's North Country Stables. 2 bottles in a

chest next to the Vampire Matriarch.

Fort Magia: East of the Imperial City Arboretum, across Lake Rumare. 2 bottles

in a chest in the Fort Magia Garrison Blocks.

Fort Irony: SE of Bravil, directly across from the Mouth of the Panther River.

2 bottles in a chest on the first floor.

Fort Grief: East of Bravil, across Niben Bay. 2 bottles in a chest within the

outer wall of the Fort. ##You'll need to do the "Caught in the Hunt" quest in

Bravil to gain entry to this Fort.

Take your spoils back to Nerussa and she'll reward you with a 1,000 gold. She

also offers to pay you for any additional bottles you come across in your

travels at 100 gold each.

================================================================================

3: BRAVIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.1 THE FORLORN WATCHMAN

REWARD: Grantham's Treasure map - random, leveled loot.

In Bravil, ask the locals about Rumors. They'll mention a ghost near Bravil and

refer you to Gilgonderin at Silver Home on the Water for more information about

the Forlorn Watchman.

Gilgonderin tells you the Watchman's ghost appears every night at 8pm on the

shore of Niben Bay at Bawnwatch Camp. he'll even give you a map marker for it.

Make your way to the camp, just outside and SE of the city, on the shore of the

bay. I suggest being there on time, at 8pm. You need time to complete this

portion of the quest before the ghost disappears at dawn.

When the Watchman arrives, keep your distance and sneak. If he's aware of your

presence, he'll just stand there and stare out at the lake all night. After a

minute or so, he'll begin walking south along the coast. Follow him discreetly.

When he stops, at a point across from where the Panther River empties into Niben

Bay, then approach and speak to him. He names himself Grantham Blakeley and

asks you to look for him in the Mouth of the Panther. He'll tell you of a

mutiny aboard his ship and that he needs you to release him. This is all he has

to say at this point.

Return to Gilgonderin and ask him about the apparition. He'll tell you the

Mouth of the Panther is an old nautical term for where the Panther River meets

Niben Bay and give you a map marker.

Make your way there to discover the wreck of an aged ship, beached on the rocks.

The Emma May. The entrance is a hole in the hull of the ship on the landward

side. You'll find ghosts and wraiths in here. Come prepared with magic, silver

or enchanted weapons.

In the Cabin across from you as you enter, you'll find a log book detailing

the mutiny aboard ship and the subsequent jailing of two of the officers below

decks. Make your way to the lowest deck. You'll run into the wraith of Gable,

the traitor who began the mutiny. Kill him and take the key from his body.

Use it to open the locked door and release the skeleton inside. Grantham's

ghost will appear and thank you for freeing his spirit. As payment, you're

given a map to Grantham's treasure chest and a map marker for Black Dog Camp.

The map is on the floor behind the skeleton.

Black Dog Camp is NE of the Mouth of the Panther. Grantham's chest is in the

water just off the pier. Hopefully, you find better loot than I did.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.2 CAUGHT IN THE HUNT

REWARD: A copy of the Wolf Queen - reading this raises your speechcraft.

Either wander the town or find the home of Ursanne Loche. Her husband, Aleron,

is missing. Aleron has a gambling problem and owes about 500 septims to a

userer, Kurdan gro-Dragol. Kurdan sent for Aleron yesterday at the Lonely

Suitor Lodge. He hasn't been seen since.

In the Lonely Suitor Lodge, you'll find Kurdan on the second floor, get his

disposition above 80 and he'll talk to you. Kurdan knows where Aleron is but

wont tell you unless you retrieve a family heirloom for him, a battleaxe that

belonged to his father. It was lost on Fort Grief Island. Speak to him again

when you're ready to go looking for it. He has a boat waiting at the dock

behind the magic shop. You'll see it as you cross the bridge.

Click on the boat and it will take you across the bay to Fort Grief. At the

Fort, the switch to open the main gate is too the right of the gate. Inside,

you'll find Aleron. Like you, Dragol tricked him into coming to the fort.

There never was an axe to find.

Kurdan doesn't just make money as a userer, he supplies victims for hunters who

prefer human prey. The main gate has closed behind you. The only way out of

Fort Grief now is to beat the Hunters at their own game. Kill them and take

the keys from their bodies. Aleron, not being a warrior, will wait for you

outside.

Enter the Hunter's Run. You'll find the first Hunter just inside the door.

Kill him and take his key. Follow the passage to a bridge over a flooded

chamber. Watch out, three spiked barrels will drop down to try and knock you

off into the water. If you fall, just follow the underwater passage back out.

This fort is a maze of dart traps, tripwires and gas vents. Watch your step.

The second hunter can be found at the very back of this floor. Once you've

killed him and taken his key, enter the Hunter's Abyss. You'll find the final

hunter in the large chamber. Get his key and your journal will update. Return

to Aleron.

As you come out, you'll see Kurdan murder Aleron, while you're unable to stop

him. Kurdan laughs at you. The key you found is a fake and he has no plans

of letting you leave and ruin his operation. After you've dealt with him, and

the Khajiit archer he brought with him, take the real gate key from his corpse.

Go back inside the fort and turn the switch in the room to the left as you

entered, opening the gate. Time to give Ursanne the bad news.

Ursanne thanks you for trying to save her husband and gifts you with a copy of

the Wolf Queen. Reading this will raise your speechcraft a point.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.3 THROUGH A NIGHTMARE, DARKLY

REWARD: Scroll of Commanding Touch - Command creature to level 3/30sec.on touch

To get this quest, go to the Bravil Mages Guild and speak to the Argonian woman,

Kud-Ei, about her freind Henentier. He's a fellow mage who, against guild rules

has been experimenting in his own home without supervision. Henentier has been

trapped somewhere. Speak to Kud-Ei again and she'll lead you to his house, just

down the street. He's asleep upstairs, trapped in a dreamworld of his own

making.

He has created a dreamworld amulet, used to enter one's own mind and experience

dreams. He has somehow become trapped and you must go into his dream and rescue

him. When you're ready, speak to Kud-Ei again and she'll give you the amulet

and your instructions. Put on the amulet and go to sleep in the bed next to

Henentiers.

When you arrive in the dreamworld, you arrive naked and unable to use any of

your magic. Your inventory is empty except for the amulet. Don't panic. It is

just a dream after all.

Henentier is beside you and wholly confused about what's going on. Pieces of

his mind seem to have gone missing. There are four and you will need to collect

them. You'll find four doors or portals in his little dream house, each leading

to a different test. If at any point you need healing, there are various foods

scattered throughout the house and a cabinet on the lower floor labeled "Heal

Yourself" with four or five heal potions inside. Use them sparingly, it's all

you get. On to the tests.

TEST OF PATIENCE: There are three pressure switch mazes in here. Step wrong

and die. As you enter, you'll see an Ayleid cask. Inside is a scroll, take

this, it's your map, showing you the safe paths through each maze.

Look carefully and you'll see a path of similar symbols on each map. This is

your safe path. Check it often and you'll reach the other side safely.

Once through, you'll find the Element of Patience. Take it and you'll be

returned to Henentier's room. Next.

TEST OF PERCEPTION: In here is a path of traps. Watch your step. On the first

path which begins to your right, run to avoid the rockfalls and reach the

swinging blades. Jump carefully to land on the stone ring under the blades

without falling through. Avoid the blades and make another quick dash across

the second area, dotted with gas vents.

Always watch your feet for pressure plates. Stepping on these will trigger a

rockfall that will kill you.

On the third path, carefully avoid the blades dropping from the cieling. At the

end you'll find the Element of Perception. Take it and again be returned to

Henentier's room.

TEST OF COURAGE: As you enter, there's an Ayleid cask on your right. Take the

weak potion of the sea inside. You'll need it. Time for a swim. Follow the

twisting tunnel. You'll find a second cask with another weak potion of the sea

inside. Take that and continue on. You'll come to a door. Go through and

you'll find the Element of Courage.

TEST OF RESOLVE: In the Ayleid cask in front of you is a set of heavy armor,

light armor, a sword, warhammer and a staff. Take whatever you're most

comfortable with, equip yourself and head into the Arena. You'll find two or

three dreamworld minotaurs, depending on your level.

Defeat them and a set of stairs will raise up allowing you to reach the Element

of Resolve.

Return to Henentier and give all four elements to him. He will remember where

he is and return you both to the real world. He is very grateful for your

rescue and rewards you with the Scroll of Commanding Touch. Yay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.4 BUYING A HOUSE

Go to the Castle and talk to the Count. If he likes you enough, he'll offer you

a house. Actually it's a shack but we're not picky. The cost is 4,000 gold.

Hand over your hard earned wealth and you have purchased your own rickety

little castle. Head over to your new palatial residence and get a journal

update letting you know where to go to get your furnishings.

Head over to the Fair Deal and talk to Nilawen to buy your furnishings.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 6,528 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 67 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

================================================================================

4: ANVIL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.1 GHOST SHIP

REWARD: Redwave - Drain Health 15 pts for 6 sec. on strike

Go to the Anvil docks. Aboard the Serpent's wake, speak to a high elf named

Varulae. The ship was bringing her a crystal ball. Shortly after arriving at

port, the crew was mysteriously murdered. Their ghosts now haunt the ship.

Varulae was unable to retrieve the crystal ball herself. She needs you to

retrieve it for her. The crystal ball is located in the ship's hold. Take the

key she gives you and head on in.

Inside, the door across from you is the Captain's cabin. Grab the keys from his

corpse and deal with his ghost if you wish. Head back out to the entry hall

and take the hatch to the mid deck. Two more ghosts wait for you here. Deal

with them and head for the cargo hatch on your right.

In the hold, the last two ghosts are floating around waiting for you to send

them on their way. Do so and grab Varulae's crystal ball from the chest. Head

back out and return it to her.

She's ecstatic to finally have it and rewards you with the Captain's enchanted

cutlass.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.2 THE SIREN'S DECEPTION

REWARD: A leveled amount of Gold.

To start this quest, ask anyone in Anvil about rumors and they'll tell you about

am all female gang of thieves preying on the men of Anvil. Ask about the gang

and you'll be told to speak to Maelona and Gogan, who is a recent victim. You

should have a map marker for them now. Head over to their house.

Talk to Maelona. She'll ask you to help get her husband out of hot water. The

all female gang lure men out to a remote location and rob them. She offers her

savings, 100 gold, to find and get back the family heirloom wedding ring her

husband lost during his little misadventure. The Flowing Bowl seems to be the

best place to make contact with these women.

After talking to Gogan, you'll find two of the gangs members are a Nord and an

Imperial. The women lure men out to their farmhouse, convince them to strip and

while they're helpless, rob them blind.

Head over to the waterfront and the Flowing Bowl.

There are two possible conversations here, depending on your sex.

MALE: Signy Home-Wrecker will approach you and entice you into coming out to

their farmhouse for "A night of fun you wont soon forget."

FEMALE: Faustina Cartia approaches you and offers you a job in the gang. With

your pretty face, you could make good money luring fools in.

Either way, you'll be asked to meet them at the farmhouse at 11pm. You should

have a map marker now. Gweden Farm is SE of Anvil. It's a short hike.

Wait until 11pm and then enter the farmhouse. Again, your sex determines the

conversation to a degree.

MALE: Faustina will try to entice you to remove your clothes, armor and weapons

when you refuse, the girls get feisty.

FEMALE: Faustina tries to convince you to join the scheme. When you tell her

no, she calls the rest of the gang down on you.

Once they're dead, Gogan and Maelona arrive, suprisingly dressed as guards.

The ring they sent you after is a fake. They needed a stranger, one the gang

wouldn't recognize as a guard, to infiltrate them and give them the opportunity

to take them all down at once. Congratulations on your short career as a patsy.

Maelona rewards you in gold.

#If you go into the cellar, you'll find the stolen belongings of the victims.

Other than a good chuckle, taking them is pointless. You can't return them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.3 WHERE SPIRITS HAVE LEASE

REWARD: Your House in Anvil

Find and speak with Velwyn Benirus. He's usually in the castle or at The

Count's Arms Tavern. He'll offer to sell you his grandfather's house, Benirus

Manor, for 5,000 gold. Take him up on the offer and head over to your new

home.

The place is a bit run down but it's furnished. Okay, the furnishings look like

the homeless special. In the cellar you'll find a Sealed Portal. Ignore it for

now. Head up to your bedroom and take a nap. When you wake, you'll find a few

ghosts have invaded the house. Deal with them carefully as you may find two

and three of them at a time waiting to ambush you. Head downstairs where you

heard a crash, the main floor, not the cellar. In front of one of the cupboards

on the floor, you'll see a broken vase. Next to it is a skeletal hand and

Velwyn's Grandfather's journal. Pick up both of these as you'll have need of

them. Seems Lorgren Benirus was a very bad boy, dabbling in necromancy in the

hope of discovering immortality and a means to wipe out his fellow citizens.

The Mages Guild put a stop to him, permanently, but his body was never found.

The journal tells you you'll need a true-blooded Benirus to open the sealed

portal. Time to find Velwyn and have a little chat about lemons.

Outside, ask one of the townspeople about Velwyn. He's skipped town for the

Imperial City, just after selling you the family home. You can find him at the

King and Queen Tavern in the Elven Gardens District. Make sure to bring the

skeletal hand and the journal with you. Raise Velwyn's disposition a bit and

he'll apologize for tricking you and volunteer to open the door for you. Meet

him back in Anvil at the Counts Arms Tavern. Head back to Anvil and look him

up.

In the Counts Arms, if you have the same trouble I did, the map marker for

Velwyn is there but he is nowhere to be seen. Wait for 24 hours and then look

for him on the first floor. I found him up the stairs 30 feet from where the

marker said he should be. Once you've found him, follow him back to Benirus

Manor.

Inside, the ghosts are in high spirits. Ahem. They've respawned. Though

Velwyn carries a blade, he wont help. Make your way to the sealed portal in the

cellar. Watch your swings, Velwyn follows very close. Once you've cleared out

all the ghosts, Velwyn will open the portal, it takes a minute. After, he

bravely runs away, leaving you to deal with what's inside on your own. You've

found Lorgren's necromancy altar, complete with his corpse lying atop it. Click

on the altar and Lorgren will speak to you. He claims a need to atone for his

past and make peace with the nine. All you have to do is return his hand,

completing his remains and you'll put an end to his madness. Right. Click on

the skeleton.

Lorgren's spirit will rise from the remains, praising your gullibility. Put him

down to end the curse on Benirus Manor.

Return to the Counts Arms and Velwyn is grateful you've cleared the family

name. The Manor is yours. You'll find it was given a major face lift, inside

and out, while you were gone. It's one of the nicer homes and certainly the

most affordable as there are no furnishings for you to buy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.4 WHEN THE VOW BREAKS

REWARD: Leveled amount of gold.

Speak to Maeva the Buxom at Whitmond Farm. It's just outside the Anvil Main

Gate. Her husband, Bjalfi the Contemptible, has stolen her family heirloom and

run off to join a band of marauders living at Fort Strand. Maeva wants you to

recover it, the Rockshatter Mace, and return it to her. Fort Strand is just

East of the Anvil Castle Main Gate. You should have a map marker.

Inside Fort Strand, you'll have to deal with several marauders on your way to

Bjalfi. The least complicated way to reach him: When you enter, turn right at

the T junction. Follow these corridors until you find a door the Fort Strand

Great Dome. Enter the Dome and you should find Bjalfi in the first large

chamber.

Kill him and take the mace.

##If you kill him and find two maces, RE-LOAD YOUR LAST SAVE. Maeva wont accept

the mace if you found two. Even if you only pick one of them up, you still wont

be able to complete the quest.

Return to Maeva at Whitmond Farm and give her the Mace. Though she's sorry her

husband had to die, she rewards you with her dowry.

================================================================================

5: BRUMA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.1 A BROTHERHOOD BETRAYED

REWARD: Phylactery of Litheness - Fortify Speed 7 pts. on self

To start this quest, ask one of the townsfolk about Raynil Draylas. He blew

into town claiming to be a vampire hunter and slew Bradon Lirrian as a vampire.

As something smells fishy about this, head to Bradon Lirrian's home to

investigate the crime scene.

In Bradon's house you'll find several guards, Bradon's body and his wife. Speak

to Carius Runellius as he seems to be the one in charge. He'll tell you the

events leading up to Bradon's death: How they found the corpses of two beggars

outside town with puncture wounds in their necks, Raynil showing up to save the

day. He tracked down and killed Bradon, alone, later telling the guards Bradon

was their vampire.

Speak with Erline, Bradon's wife. She's very upset and doesn't believe her

husband was a vampire. She needs you to find Raynil and prove he was lying and

murdered her husband.

Best place to start looking is Olav's Tap and Tack. Speak to Olav. Make sure

his disposition is atleast 80 or he'll tell you nothing. Olav doesn't believe

Bradon was a vampire either. Now that you're there, he hopes you can find the

truth. He gives you the key to Raynil's room, last door at the end of the hall.

As Raynil is nowhere to be seen, search the room. Behind the drawers as you

came in, you'll find a book called "Gelebourne's Journal". Take this and talk

to Olav again. Raynil mentioned Gelebourne as being the last vampire he killed,

over in Skingrad. Head back to Bradon's house and tell Carius what you've found

out. When he sees the journal, he's shocked and rouses the city guard to search

for Raynil. You're to meet him in Olav's in one hour.

Back at Olav's, Carius tells you Raynil was seen leaving Bruma, headed west

toward Boreal Stone Cave. You must get there before he flees for good. Deal

with him in whatever manner you see fit. Follow your map marker to the cave.

When you enter, Raynil will see you even if you're sneaking. What's a bad guy

without a final monologue after all? He refuses to surrender, forcing you to

kill him. Take the keys from his corpse and use them to open the water-logged

chest at the back of the chamber. Inside, you'll find a seemingly ordinary

ring. Bring it back to Erline and see what she wants to do with it.

Erline comes clean. She knew Raynil and Gelebourne years ago as friends of her

husband. The ring was a treasure they found. Bradon had a strong enchantment

put on it to hide it's true nature. Erline speaks the secret word to release

the rings true nature and gifts you with the Phylactery of Litheness. She wants

you to keep it as a token of her thanks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.2 LIFTING THE VALE

REWARD: Ring of the Vipereye - Fortify Agility/Resist Magic % - Leveled

If the Countess' Herald has sought you out, you already have this quest. If not

go to the castle and speak to Countess Carvain.

The Countess collects Akaviri Artifacts and is after a particular item, the

Draconian Madstone, an amulet said to protect the wearer from poisons and magic.

It's last known location was the Akaviri Stronghold of Pale Pass. The Countess

provides you with a rough map, a key and a translated diary written by an

Akaviri messenger. Ask her about the Diary and she'll provide you with a map

marker for the first landmark, Dragonclaw Rock.

You're headed due NE of Bruma. There is a vague road, follow this to your first

landmark. Your journal will update when you reach Dragonclaw Rock. Check the

messengers diary for the next landmark. Turn west at the rock and follow the

cave icon in your compass until you find the Serpent's Trail. It's very close.

The Serpent's Trail is an underground passage that will lead you to Pale Pass.

Beware of Ogres, you're going to see alot of them. In the tunnels, you'll find

the skeletal remains of the messenger who penned the diary. Near his hand is

a clay tablet with Akaviri writing. Take this, you'll need it later. Follow

the tunnel through to the entrance to Pale Pass.

Once again, watch out for Ogres. They're all over the place here. Follow the

trail to the fort. It leads you right to the front door.

At the fort, enter the Mouth of the Serpent. The ruins are infested with Dead

Akaviri Soldiers. You need to locate the Commander of the Fort who should have

the Draconian Madstone.

Head straight back to the Fangs of the Serpent. This is a maze of dart traps.

You can dodge through them or take your time and find the safe path. Make your

way to the bridge and pull the lever to the left of it, dropping it so you can

cross. On the other side, enter the Venom of the Serpent.

In here, you'll find the Akaviri Commander. Don't kill him, talk to him.

Remember the tablet you took off the Messengers corpse? Give this to the

Commander. It contains the orders the dead soldiers have been waiting all this

time to receive. He thanks you for finally laying their spirits to rest and

opens a door as he leaves. The Madstone is on a pedestal in this room. Pick

it up and return to the Countess.

On your way out, you'll only have to worry about traps. Giving the orders to

the Commander has laid all the soldiers to rest.

The countess is excited to finally have the prize of her collection and rewards

you with the Ring of the Vipereye.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.3 TWO SIDES OF THE COIN

REWARD: Jorundr's Loot - 2 Skill Books and various leveled loot.

Ask one of the townspeople about Jorundr. He's a thief who stole his wife's

life savings, stashed it somewhere and was about to leave town when the guards

arrested him for murder. Go talk to his wife, Arnora. You'll need to raise her

disposition before she'll talk to you.

She and Jorundr are thieves. After robbing a tax shipment, where Jorundr killed

a guard, he was caught, but not before moving the loot where Arnora couldn't

find it. She needs you to find the location from Jorundr. Head over to the

castle dungeon.

The guard will let you in where Jorundr wont talk, convinced you're working for

a corrupt guard. If you want to find the location, you're going to have to get

yourself thrown in jail. I nicked the inkwell off the guard's desk and went to

jail.

Once inside, Jorundr is much more friendly. Ask him about the stolen gold and

he'll give you a much different story than Arnora. Robbing the shipment was her

idea. She killed the guard and, when they were onto them, turned in Jorundr

to save herself. Not before Jourundr was able to hide the gold however.

Jorundr wants Arnora dead. As proof, you're to bring him the amulet she always

wears. You can handle this two ways:

1: Tell Arnora Jorundr's plan. She'll give you a key to the chest containing

her true amulet to convince Jorundr she's dead. The amulet she actually wears

is a fake.

2: Kill Arnora. Loot the keys from her body, take the amulet she's wearing and

the true amulet in the chest by her bed to Jorundr.

Either way he will tell you the location of the treasure once he believes she's

gone. The treasure is just outside the city walls, by the North Gate, in a

chest marked "Jorundr's Loot".

#If you killed Arnora yourself, simply go take the loot.

#If you left her alive, you'll find a corrupt guard, Tyrellius Logellus, is

already there waiting for you. He heard Jorundr telling you the location and

wants the gold for himself. He says he's already dealt with Arnora and you're

the last loose end to deal with. Kill him and take the loot for yourself.

Return to Arnora's cabin to see that she is truly dead and the quest will

complete in your journal.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5.4 BUYING A HOUSE

At the Castle, speak to the Countess. She has a quaint little house just off

the Main Gate she's willing to sell for the paltry sum of 10,000 gold. Now that

you've parted with all those shiny coins, go visit your new home where your

journal will tell you to part with even more.

You'll find everything you need at Novaroma, talk to Suurootan.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 16,857 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 70 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

================================================================================

6: CHEYDINHAL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.1 A BRUSH WITH DEATH

REWARD: Apron of Adroitness - Fortify Agility and Intelligence

Strength leveled to match you.

Ask a townsperson about rumors and you'll be told about Tivaela. Her husband,

Rythe Lythandas, is a famous painter and he's missing.

Head over to Tivaela's house. Her husband had been in his studio all day. When

she got worried and checked on him, she found him gone with the door locked.

She'll give you the key to his studio and ask you to please find him.

Inside, you'll find the painting Rythe was working on when he vanished. Click

on the painting and you'll be transported into it. Rythe is waiting for you,

happy someone finally showed up to help him. A Bosmer thief broke into his

studio, attacked him and stole his Brush of Truepaint. The thief then escaped

into the painting. Once inside he created trolls to protect him, which turned

on him and killed him. Rythe, not being a fighter, is unable to retrieve the

brush. You need to kill the trolls and get back the brush so Rythe can paint

a door out for you both. He'll give you six bottles of Turpentine to help you

fight the Trolls. Click on the bottle and you'll get one hit with the effect

active on your weapon: Damage Troll +100.

As you set off on your troll hunt, be sure to enjoy the scenery. This is one

of the more beautiful and original realms in Oblivion.

The trolls are tough, as trolls are. The Turpentine makes them easy kills. Be

sure to loot the Painted Troll Fat from them as this is the only place you're

going to find that ingredient.

Once you've dealt with all the trolls, get the Brush of Truepaint from the body

of the Bosmer thief and return to Rythe. Quicksave here just in case. Rythe

will paint a doorway back to the real world. Click on it to leave after your

journal updates.

I had a bit of a glitch with the door. The first time he painted it, the door

didn't actually appear. If this happens to you, just reload and try again.

Once back in the real world, Rythe gratefully rewards you with the Apron of

Adroitness. It fortifies your Agility and Intelligence. The amount that is

fortified depends on your level. At level 9, mine was fortified 9 pts. each.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.2 CORRUPTION AND CONSCIENCE

REWARD: 350 gold

To get this quest, speak to one of the beggars in town and ask about Fines. The

guards of Cheydinhal have been imposing outrageous fines for even the smallest

infractions since they got a new Captain, Ulrich Leland.

The beggars will send you to speak with Llevana Nedaren. She's the most

outspoken against the guards. Llevana's house is on the south side of town.

Llevana's good freind, Aldos Othran, was rendered homeless by Captain Ulrich

after being fined six times for being drunk. She believes that Ulrich's second

in command, Garrus Darelliun, may be sympathetic. He can usually be found in

the castle or the guard barracks.

You can track down Aldos if you want, but he's too drunk to talk. Head over to

the castle.

Garrus believes Ulrich is on the take and would love to take him down. He can't

go before the Count without a witness however. You need to bring him Aldos

Othran, that is if you can sober him up for five minutes. With Aldos'

testimony, the Count will have no choice but to relieve Ulrich. Garrus cautions

you not to speak to Ulrich as he'll surely arrest you on the spot.

You can find Aldos boozing it up at his campsite by the south wall. Aldos is

drunk and mad, never a good combo. He wants you to follow him and leads you

back to his house where he picks a fight with the guard outside the door. There

isn't anything you can do to stop this. The guard kills him when Aldos attacks

him. Return to Llevana and give her the bad news.

Like Aldos, she too flies into a rage and asks you to convince Ulrich to follow

you back to her house so she can deal with him. Instead, go talk to Garrus who

may have a less bloodthirsty way out of this.

Garrus is fed up with Ulrich after the death of Aldos and has a plan to take

him down. With the key he gives you, sneak into Ulrich's quarters in the guard

tower. On top of his dresser, there's a book. Look carefully on top of the

book and you'll see a suspicious letter. Take this and bring it back to Garrus.

After he takes the letter, leave and meet him at the Cheydinhal Bridge Inn in

two hours.

Garrus, the newly appointed Captain of the guard, informs you Ulrich has been

stripped of his rank and thrown in the dungeons where he will spend the next

several years. Garrus rewards you with gold for risking your life and jail

time to take down Ulrich without bloodshed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.3 BUYING A HOUSE

Speak Count Andel Indarys at Castle Cheydinhal. He's a bit of a self-important

fop but if he likes you enough, he will gladly sell you a house for meager

price of 15,000 gold. You can find everything you need to fill your new,

small but tidy home at Borba's Goods and Stores.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 23,760 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 88 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6.4 Not really a quest. If you ask Borba gra-Uzgash about Cheydinahll, she

will update your map with three new map markers: Quickwater Cave, Rickety Mine

and the Ayleid ruin of Kemen.

Just for all you treasure hunting dungeon divers out there.

================================================================================

7: LEYAWIIN

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.1: WHOM GODS ANNOY

REWARD: Ring of Eidolon's Edge - Fortify Block/Fortify Blade (Leveled)

Find ROsentia Gallenus' house in the center of town. You'll have to pick the

lock to get in as she's locked the door and wont come out. Inside, you'll find

her in the company of four Scamps, consider them daedric versions of the Adoring

Fan.

She bought a daedric staff off a traveling merchant. When she spoke the word

carved into the staff, the Scamps appeared and now, as it seems to be cursed,

she can't drop it, sell it or get rid of it. She needs you to speak to her

friend, Alves Uvenim, at the Mages Guild. ALves may know how to break the

curse.

Head over the the Mages Guild where ALves does indeed have information for you.

It's called the Staff of Everscamp. The only way to be rid of it is for someone

to willingly accept the staff. The only way to fully break the curse is to take

the staff to DarkFathom Cave and drop it by the statue of Sheogorath you'll

find inside. Yes, another amusing moment of madness brought to you by our

favorite mad hatter. Head back to Rosentia's and tell her the good news. She

will gladly hand over the staff. You and your entourage must now make your

way to Darkfathom Cave. Don't worry, the guards will ignore your vertically

challenged companions.

The cave is just East of Leyawiin, across the river. Inside you'll find Scamps.

Lots of Scamps. Make your way to the chamber containing Sheogorath's statue.

Drop the staff near the altar. When you drop it, your journal will update,

telling you the scamps are happy in their new home. Return to Rosentia for

your reward.

Unfortunately, you can't pick the staff back up. That would have been too much

fun.

WhoGuru · September 22, 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.2 TEARS OF THE SAVIOR

REWARD: Leveled amount of gold - at Level 10 I recieved 1200.

In the Mages Guild, speak with the Khajiit, S'Drassa. He's looking for crystals

called Garridan's Tears and will pay in gold for each tear you recover. He'll

send you to the Arcane University to speak with Julienne Fanis. She has studied

the legend and should know where to find them.

You'll find Julienne in the Arcane University's lobby. She'll refer you to the

First Edition in the Imperial City Market District to find a copy of the book

"Knightfall", the story of Garridan. You'll have to buy a copy from Phintias

as he doesn't appear to have one out on the shelves, it's not expensive. You'll

get a map marker for Frostfire Glade, in the mountains near Bruma. You'll also

need refined frost salts to get in. Head back to the Arcane University and talk

to Julienne. She has five of them for sale. Buy these and head out for Bruma.

Follow your map marker to the glade, south east of Bruma.

##Save at this point. There is a potential glitch here. You'll need to reload

if this happens.

If you have any armor or items that protect from frost damage, bring them and be

prepared to heal often. Enter Frostfire Cave. Follow the tunnels to the

entrance to Frostfire Glade. Straight ahead of you is the Glade. You can't

miss it. It's covered in snow and ice. BEWARE: Every moment you spend on the

snow, your health is being drained by frost damage. Watch your health, heal

often, run back up on the grass if you need a minute to let your magicka

regenerate.

There is a Frostfire Atronach Glade Warden here. My advice, lob an arrow or

spell at him and run back up to the grass. Let him follow you up there, away

from the center of the glade. You wont take damage while you fight him and

you wont risk blowing away the tears across the glade with magical damage.

They're hard enough to find.

Once he's dead, begin your search for the tears. You'll need five. The first

four can be found on the ground around the statues. Look carefully as they're

small and difficult to spot. They appear as bluish-white and tear shaped.

The fifth tear is actually on the ice statues. You'll need to cross the log

to get up to the statues.

## I, and many others, had an issue with the last tear. Instead of being on top

of the ice, it was actually inside and unreachable. If this happens to you,

reload and try again. If you're on pc, you can use the console code to give

yourself the fifth tear, but reloading works just as well.

Garridan's Tear - player.additem 00025B33 1

Return to S'Drassa in Leyawiin for your reward and maybe a nice cup of hot

chocolate.

------------------------------------------

7.3 MAZOGA THE ORC

REWARD: See Knights of the White Stallion Below.

Speak to Leyawiin's Count, Marius Caro. There's an Orc, Mazoga, hanging around

the County Hall claiming to be a knight. He wants to know what it is she wants

in Leyawiin.

Mazoga is standing just outside the throne room. Play along with her to find

out why she's there. She'll send you to find Weebam-Na and bring him to her.

His house is just around the corner from the castle.

If Weebam-na likes you enough, he'll agree to meet Mazoga at the castle. Before

you go, ask him about Leyawiin for a hysterical review of a failed local

resteraunt. Follow him back to the castle and listen in on the conversation.

Mazoga wants him to lead her to Fisherman's Rock. She wont say why and he

refuses to take her and leaves. Speak with Mazoga again. She now wants you to

take her to Fisherman's Rock so she can talk to someone called Mogens

Wind-Shifter. You're not to interfere until she's had a chance to talk to him.

Fisherman's Rock is just north of Leyawiin on the other side of the river.

Follow your map marker. When you reach the camp, Mazoga accuses Mogens of

murdering her freind, swears revenge and jumps him. Take out the other members

of Mogens' gang so Mazoga doesn't get wasted. Afterward, Mazoga tell you how

Mogens murdered her freind Ra'vindra to keep her from turning him in. Mazoga

then swore a Knight's oath to avenge her freind's death. She thanks you and

will return to the castle. Loot the bodies and head back to the Count to give

him the news.

The Count appreciates Mazoga's noble intentions and your assistance. He offers

to make both you and Mazoga Knights-Errant of the White Stallion

PART II: KNIGHTS OF THE WHITE STALLION

REWARD: Knights Commission, Key to Lodge, Leyawiin Shield,

Bounty of 100 Gold for each Black Bow returned.

The Count's proposition is simple: If you and Mazoga will find and eliminate

Black Brugo and his Black Bow Bandits, he will make you both Knight's-Errant

of the White Stallion.

Mazoga should be back in the County Hall by now. Go tell her the Count's offer

and ask about Black Brugo. She's had dealings with him in the past and knows

he hides out in the ruins of Telepe. It's just NW of Leyawiin. You can find

him there between midnight and six am when he comes to pick up his take.

Take Mazoga and head to the ruin. Follow your map marker.

Telepe is a single floor. At or after midnight, enter the ruin and you'll find

Black Brugo in the room to your left at the bottom of the stairs. Kill him and

his bandits. Make sure to loot the black bows from their bodies. In the room

where you killed Black Brugo is a blue switch. Hit this to open the gate at the

back of the hall. Inside you'll find a coffer containing 300 gold, Brugo's take

for the month.

Once you're done, head back to Leyawiin and the Count for your reward. He

thanks you for your service, rewarding you and Mazoga with the titles of Knights

Errant of the White Stallion, Keys to White Stallion Lodge, a shield bearing

the arms of Leyawiin and a bounty of 100 gold for each Black Bow you turn in.

Head back to Mazoga and give her the good news. She thanks you and leaves,

saying she's off to find some more Black Bows and you're welcome to tag along.

I wouldn't unless you're in the mood to be led in a giant circle out of

Leyawiin, across the river, up past Nocturnal's Shrine, back across the river

then south all the way back to the ruin of Telepe. You can walk there in two

minutes on your own. Skip the cross country trek.

White Stallion Lodge is North of Leyawiin, west side of the river on the road,

just NE of Telepe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.4 RAID ON GREYLAND

REWARD: Leveled amount of gold.

Outside the West Gate of Leyawiin, at any time of day or night, you'll find

Lerexus Callidus loitering by the stables. He's been trying to cut off the

Skooma trade into Leyawiin. He's found a dealer at the Greyland settlement and

has gone after him several times. Each time he gets close, a lookout spots him

and the dealer, Kylius Lonavo, escapes before he can reach him.

Lerexus needs you to find him and deal with him, permanently. The Greyland

Settlement is just SW of the stables, a very short walk. Sneak and head over.

Feel free to do away with the lookout quietly if you come across him. In the

large house, you'll find Kylius Lonavo. Don't bother trying to speak with him

as he's not the type for conversation. Bring back his ring as proof he's been

dealt with and Lenexus rewards you for your service to Leyawiin in gold.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7.5 BUYING A HOUSE

In Castle Leyawiin, speak with Count Marius Caro. Raise his disposition and

he'll agree to sell you a home in the center of town, small but tidy, for the

price of 7,000 gold.

You'll find your new luxury shack devoid of furnishings. Head over to Gundalas

at Best Goods and Guarantees to furnish your home.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 11,158 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 100 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

================================================================================

8: CHORROL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.1 BUYING A HOUSE

Speak with Countess Ariana Valga. She has a lovely home for sale for the

bargain price of 20,000 gold. Your new home is just across from the Main Gate.

Head over to Northern Goods and Trade. Seed-neeus has everything you need.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 28,347 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 73 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

#The furnishings for this house include a servant's quarters. I haven't yet

discovered if there actually is a servant to go with them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.2 CANVAS THE CASTLE

REWARD: Leveled amount of gold ##A portrait for your home

Speak to the Countess. Her prized painting of her husband has been stolen from

her locked bedchamber. She needs you to speak with the suspects and

witnesses, gather clues, and discover what has happened to her painting. There

are three witnesses and two suspects. You'll receive a map marker for each.

They are: Captain Bittneld, Laythe Wavrick, Orok gro-Ghoth, Orgnulf Hairy-legs,

and the resident Mage, Chanel.

We'll start with the witnesses.

Captain Bittneld: He wasn't in the castle that night. He has noticed Chanel

spending time in the West tower. When asked, she said she was performing magic

research.

Herald Laythe Wavrick: He has observed Orgnulf having a drinking problem and

asking people for money to support his new habit.

Steward Orok gro-Ghoth: He saw nothing as he stayed in his room all night due

to the heavy rains that evening. He has recently caught Orgnulf drinking in the

West tower. Orgnulf apparently stopped when Orok confronted him about it.

Now for the Suspects.

Porter Orgnulf Hairy-Legs: Orgnulf says he argued with a delivery boy that

night in the dining hall about a shipment of wine that had been damaged during

the heavy rains, then spent the rest of the evening in his room, reading.

Resident Mage, Chanel: She says she spent the evening in the courtyard taking

star readings, then drank some wine in the dining room off the great hall before

going straight to bed.

You should have an idea by now. Now for the evidence.

First, head to the West tower as both suspects have been seen there. Go through

the hatch in the floor behind the crates. Below, you'll find an unusual

painting, suggesting someone in the castle is an artist. Click on it to get the

journal update.

Now head to the dining room off the Great hall as again, both suspects have

claimed to be there. There is a rug beneath the table. On the far left corner

as you entered, you'll find paint stains and a footprint. Click on these for

another update.

Head back upstairs to the private quarters. A search of Orgnulf's room yields

nothing.

Head back over to Chanel's room. On a table in her room is a lectern. Inside

the lectern you'll find painting supplies suspiciously hidden. This is your

last piece of evidence and you should know who it is by now.

Confront Chanel with the evidence. You'll need to raise her disposition before

she'll confide in you.She had a great love for the Count and she was the artist

responsible for the painting. When he died, she became jealous of the time the

Countess spent with the painting and stole it back. She gives you the painting

at this point and will wait for the Countess's judgement.

Now you have two choices when you speak to the Countess.

1: Accuse Chanel. The Countess strips her of her duties and banishes her from

Chorrol. In gratitude for returning the painting of her husband, she rewards

you with gold and gems.

2: Accuse Neither suspect. The Countess is crushed and dismayed to have

suspected anyone in her household. She rewards a small sum of gold. Now, head

back up to the Private Quarters and speak with Chanel.

She is overjoyed that you didn't turn her in. She vows to keep the painting

with her for the rest of her days and asks you to return in three weeks, at

which time, she'll have painted a portrait for you. Chanel is also an

Apprentice Level Destruction Trainer.

#Keep in mind, the gold reward from the countess is substantially larger if you

turn in Chanel but you wont get the painting.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.3 SEPERATED AT BIRTH

REWARD: 50 gold

Speak with Reynald Jemane. You can find him at the Grey Mare in the evenings.

It seems someone in Cheydinhall is impersonating him and besmirching him and

his good name. As he says, drunkenly, he can besmirch his own good name without

help. He'll give you fifty gold to go to Cheydinhall and find the impersonater.

Make your way to Cheydinhall. Speak with Guilbert Jemane. He's staying at the

Newland's Lodge and you'll most likely find him wandering the hall upstairs. My

he does look familiar, only more sober. Guilbert thought his twin brother was

dead. Upon hearing your news, he'll immediately leave for Chorrol, asking you

to meet him there.

Head back to Chorrol and the Grey Mare. Listen in on the conversation, then

speak with Guilbert. This will complete this phase of the quests. There's a

total of three.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.4 LEGACY LOST

REWARD: Leveled Gold.

Guilbert and Reynald want the family estate back. It was over-run by Ogres when

they were children and they aren't sure where it's located now, except south of

Chorrol. You're job is to find Weatherleah.

Before you leave the Grey Mare, stop and ask one of the patrons about

Weatherleah. They'll refer you to Sabine Laul at the Fighter's Guild. She's

explored the area surrounding Chorrol and will give you a map marker.

Make your way south to Weatherleah where you'll find the place infested by

Redvalley Ogres. Head back to the brothers and give Guilbert this information.

He will, of course, send you back out to cleanse the Ogres from their home,

making it safe for them to return.

Back to Weatherleah we go. Find and kill the Three Ogres wandering the area

around the house and return to Guilbert.

Now that Weatherleah is safe, Guilbert wants you to escort him and his brother

back to their home. Either walk the long away or fast travel. They'll follow.

Once you've led them to the house, Guilbert will reward you in a leveled amount

of gold.

Now go do something else for a few days before heading back to Chorrol.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.5 A SHADOW OVER HACKDIRT

REWARD: Mercantile Training

Speak to the townspeople about rumors and eventually you'll hear about the

missing daughter of a local merchant. Head over to Northern Trade and Goods to

speak with Seed-neeus about her daughter.

##If you go to the shop and Dar-Ma is still there, talk to her about her mother

and then give it a couple days before going back, at which time you'll find her

missing.

Dar-Ma has gone missing while delivering goods to the village of Hackdirt. She

needs you to find her daughter.

Hackdirt is just south of the city. When you arrive, head over to Moslin's Dry

Goods and speak with Etira Moslin. She says Dar-Ma never arrived with the

delivery. As she's obviously lying, search around the derelict buildings on the

edge of town. You'll find Dar-Ma's horse, Blossom. Go back to Etira and

confront her with her lie. She still denies having seen Dar-Ma and claims the

horse as her own. More town searching for clues.

Head over to Moslin's Inn. Vlanhonder Moslin is as helpful, and evasive, as

Etira. Sneak upstairs and search the lavishly appointed guest rooms. In the

right hand room, in a chest of drawers, you'll find Dar-Ma's diary. Seems she

found the inhabitants of Hackdirt as warm and fuzzy as we have. Confront

Vlanhonder with this and his amnesia breaks. He does remember Dar-Ma. He says

she must have gone crazy and run off into the woods. Since we don't believe

him, head over to Jir Hiriel's house on the edge of town.

Raise his disposition enough and he'll agree to talk to you, but not until after

dark. Wait until after ten pm and go back into his house. Jiv tells you

Dar-Ma is being held in the caves beneath Hackdirt to be used as a sacrifice to

to bring back, what he calls, the Deep Ones. Don't get excited, you don't get

to see them. He'll give you a key and suggest you use the trap door in Moslin's

Inn as it's closest to where she's being held. Go in now, as the entire town

is at the chapel for evening sermons, makes your job a lot easier.

The trap door in Moslin's Inn will put you right next to her cell. Deal with

the Brethren in the cave and free Dar-Ma. Don't worry, she knows how to sneak.

Take her back up through Moslin's Inn.

Doing all this between ten pm and one am will assure the villagers aren't

around to attack Dar-Ma on your way out. Lead her to her horse and take her

back to Chorrol. She will fast travel back with you if she's on her horse.

Make sure Dar-Ma is actually in the house, then talk to Seed-neeus. She has no

money but should raise your mercantile skill to the next level of mastery.

Atleast mine did, so I'm making an educated guess.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.6 THE KILLING FIELD

REWARD: Chillrend - Frost Damage/weakness to Frost: leveled.

In the Grey Mare, speak with Valus Odriil. Creatures have overrun his farm and

his two sons have gone to find the source of the creatures in the Great Forest.

He needs you to meet his sons at Weynon Priory and help them in the fight.

Head over to Weynon Priory. You'll find Antus and Rallus waiting for you.

Rallus seems capable enough but Antus is spoiling for a fight and jeapordy

freindly. Head out, following Rallus and try not to let them get dead. If one

or both of the sons dies, you'll get no reward.

When you reach Odiil Farm, the creatures attack. Hope you like Goblins, they're

out in force. Try to get as many as you can before they reach the boys. But

more important, keep an eye on Antus's health. He's not much of a fighter and

will go down quickly if you don't heal him often.

Once the goblins are dealt with, and hopefully you've kept the sons alive, head

back to the Grey Mare where Valus thanks you for keeping his sons alive. He

rewards you with a sword, the Chillrend.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.7 SINS OF THE FATHER

REWARD: Escutcheon of Chorrol - Fortify Endurance/Reflect Damage: Leveled

Four Grand Soul Gems with Common Souls

OR

1,500 Gold

Several days after completing the Legacy Lost quest, Fathis Ules will approach

you in Chorrol with an offer. The twins father was actually a master thief

and stole something from Castle Chorrol he was supposed to turn over to Fathis.

He didn't, instead hiding it away and dying shortly after. Fathis offers to

pay you well if you'll find and return it to him. He believes it can be found

in Redguard Valley Cave, which he gives you a map marker for. It's just East of

Weatherleah.

Head out to Redguard Valley Cave. Inside, at the very back of the cave system,

you'll find the Redguard Valley Ogre Chieftan. Kill him and loot his body to

find the Honorblade of Chorrol. This is the item you were sent for. You have

two choices now. You can return the sword to Fathis Ules or return the sword

to Chorrol Castle.

FATHIS ULES: Return the blade to Fathis and he'll reward you 1,500 gold.

## Fathis Ules is the top Fence for the Thieve's Guild. If you finish this

quest, with either outcome, you WILL NOT be able to fence anything after

this point with him. Call it a programmer's fubar.

CASTLE CHORROL: To return the Honorblade to Chorrol, speak to Laythe Wavrick

in the castle. He will reward you with the Escutcheon of Chorrol Shield.

Return to the twins at Weatherleah and speak with Guilbert. If you gave the

blade to Fathis, leaving no evidence of his father's life as a thief, Guilbert

wants nothing more to do with you.

If you gave the blade back to Chorrol Castle, Guilbert happily accepts his

father's past and rewards you with four grand soul gems.

================================================================================

9: SKINGRAD

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.1: BUYING A HOUSE

Make your way to Castle Skingrad and speak to the Orc Butler, Shum gro-Yarug.

You'll need to have a fame rating of atleast 20 to get this house. He will

offer to sell you Rosethorn Hall for the paltry sum of 25,000 gold. The current

owner, Vandorallen Trebatius will be turned out with all his belongings. Don't

worry, you can find him wandering the street or staying at one of the Inns. He

didn't have anything to say about it when I found him.

Head over to your your new house and recieve a journal update. Now head over to

Colovian Traders, just down the street, and talk to Gundar. He has everything

you need. Also in this shop is a servant for your house. Speak to Eyja and she

will agree to work for you for 150 gold.

Total cost of all Furnishings: 39,860 gold

##Average price based on a disposition of 70 with no haggling. You can of

course get the prices to go lower.

##Shum gro-Yarug has a nasty habit of falling off the bridge behind the castle

and dying. If this happens to you, as it happened to me, and you're on PC, it

can be fixed. First, make sure he's actually dead and not just wandered off.

Talking to the Argonian in the castle about buying a house will give you a map

marker for Shum. Follow this. If you reach the marker and find his body or

find nothing at all, he's probably dead.

##If his body is there, open the console, click on his body and type: RESURRECT

##If his body is gone, open the console and type: PLAYER.PLACEATME 00028FB6

This will drop him right in front of you.

THE ROSETHORN CACHE:

REWARD: Ring of the Gray - Fortify Sneak, Security, Marksman, Acrobatics 5 pts.

Detect Life 50 feet

Resist Poison 50%

2 Flawless Emeralds

2 Flawless Saphires

2 Flawless Diamonds

Now that you have your palatial home in Skingrad, head up to your bedroom. As

you enter, walk around to the other side of the door. Jump onto the chest and

then on top of the bookshelves. Now, look toward the door. You'll see a Long

Forgotten Note on the lintel. In the note, written by an escaped prisoner, is a

riddle that will lead you to Rosethorn Hall's secret treasure. The answer, of

course, is an hourglass. If you want to keep the note, pick it up now. You

wont be able to read it again if you don't.

Now head down to the basement. You'll see one of the pillars is hung with

garlic. Look in the rafters of this pillar and you'll find an hourglass. Pick

this up and recieve your prize, several flawless gems and the Ring of the Gray.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.2 PARANOIA

REWARD: Leveled amount of Gold

While wandering the streets of Skingrad, you'll find a woodelf named Glarthir.

If you don't find him, he WILL find you and follow you until you talk to him.

He has a proposition and wants you to meet him behind the Chapel of Julianos

after midnight. He promises to make it worth your while.

Wait until midnight and and meet Glarthir bahind the chapel. He believes

several people are following him and he wants you to follow them. You're first

mark is a woman named Bernadette Peneles who lives across the street from

Glarthir.

When you leave Glarthir one of the guards, Dion, will stop you. You can tell

him what Glarthir is up to. He wont do anything about it yet. He'll just ask

you to tell him if Glarthir asks you to do anything strange.

Find a spot across the street from Bernadette's house and wait until 6am. Now

begins the first of several boring daily routines.

Bernadette's Routine: Chapel 6am-7am, working in the vinyard 9am-11am, lunch

11:30am-1pm, working behind Tamika's house 2pm-7pm, dinner 7pm-9pm then home.

Notice the distinct lack of spying.

Now fast forward to midnight and meet Glarthir to give him your report. He'll

reward you in gold. There are three conversation options. If you tell him you

have nothing to report he'll yell, tell you to do your job and come back the

next night.

The other two options, telling him he is or is not being followed, you'll get

paid either way. Be aware, telling him he's right each time will lead to that

something strange Dion was talking about, a request for murder.

You're next target is Toutius Sextius. Find his house and wait until 9am.

Toutius' Routine: Wandering Castle Skingrad County Hall 10:30am-1pm then back

home by 3:30pm. Later in the evening around 7pm he goes riding.

Again, a distinct lack of sneakiness here.

Return to Glarthir at midnight and recieve your reward and your next job. He

believes he has identified the ringleader of those spying on him, Davide

Surilie. His house is just behind Glarthir's. Be there at 6am.

Davide's Routine: Working in the vinyard 7am-noon, home by 1pm. Notice the

so called ringleader isn't very ringleaderish.

Now back to Glarthir at midnight behind the chapel. Now, there are two outcomes

of this converation:

A: If you lied and told Glarthir they were all following him, he'll reward you

with gold and a List of Death. That's right, he wants to kill everyone you

followed and return to him the following night for your final reward.

#You can, if you wish, show the List of Death to Captain Dion. He'll thank you

and the guards will promptly kill Glarthir; Or, you can enjoy a little

killing spree. This makes a great way to get into the Dark Brotherhood by the

way.

As it's midnight, all your targets are in their homes and most likely asleep.

Go kick their buckets for them and return to Glarthir the next night. He's

overjoyed to be free of the spies and gratefully rewards you 1,000 gold.

B: If you correctly inform Glarthir none of suspects were watching him, he

suddenly decides you are in on the plot and attacks. Kill him yourself or let

the guards whack him for you.

##On a side note, you don't actually have to follow any of the suspects.

Glarthir will never know the difference. I'm just thorough.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9.3 SEEKING YOUR ROOTS

REWARD: Elixir of Exploration - see below for details.

Go to the West Weald Inn. You'll find Sinderion in his room in the cellar, the

door to your right as you come in. He needs you to bring him Nirnroots so he

can create the rare Elixir of Exploration. He will give you a missive with

important information about where to find Nirnroots and a map marker for

Shadeleaf Copse, a good place to start your hunt.

Your first task is to collect ten of the Nirnroots. Each time you return he

will up the ante, requiring more to make the next level of the potion. Twenty

four hours after you give him the required amount, he will have a sample of

that level of the potion to give you and you'll be able to buy more from him.

Nirnroot will always be found near water. While you're wandering the country

on quests, keep your eyes on the shores of lakes and rivers. You'll be

over loaded with Nirnroot in no time. You'll also, on occasion, notice them in

pots in houses and shops. If you're sneak skill is decent, feel free to make

off with these too.

Sinderion will buy any further Nirnroots you collect, ten at a time, for the

bargain price of 250 gold.

Raiden says - "By following the shore of Niben Bay and the rivers that start

from it, basically going around the whole of Niben Bay and rivers, you can find

more than enough Nirnroot."

================================================================================

10: RANDOM QUESTS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.1 ZERO VISIBILITY

REWARD: Free Bed at the Aleswell Inn

You're looking for the village of Aleswell. You'll find it North of the I.C.

on the Red River Road, directly between the words "Red" and "River" on your map.

You're going to want a detect life spell or enchantment for this one as all the

inhabitants of the village have been rendered invisible.

Speak with Diram at the Aleswell Inn. A wizard named Ancotar has been playing

pranks on the villagers for years, this is just the latest insult. They've

been invisible for weeks and need you to find the wizard. He's hiding out in

Fort Carctacus just SE of the Village.

At the Fort, you'll find the cranky wizard outside on the second level. If you

answer him correctly, this is very simple. He claims he was unaware the village

had been affected by his experiment. When prompted, reply "Not at all. Tell me

more." Happy to find a fellow mage, he gladly offers up a Reverse Invisibilty

scroll. If you ask him about the reverse invisibility spell, he'll also give

you his Ring of Protection which he warns you to wear when youcast it. Just in

case of any side effects, not that he thinks there will be any. Uh huh. If you

don't wear it, your Luck attribute will take a 45 point hit. Wear the ring.

You'll need to cast the spell in the center of the village to hit everyone.

Stand in the middle of the garden, wearing your ring, and free the villagers.

Once the spell is reversed, speak to Diram again. He gratefully offers you free

lodging at the Aleswell Inn whenever you need it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.2 NO STONE UNTURNED

REWARD: 3 Potions of Insight (Restore Intelligence)

You'll need to find the Imperial Bridge Inn. The best way to do this is to

start at Bravil. Jump into Niben Bay and swim East up the Silverfish River.

The Inn is on the North shore of the river, just past the second bridge.

Speak to Lithnilian, an Altmer Sorcerer. While researching Welkynd stones in

Bramblepoint Cave, he was attacked and ran, leaving his notes behind. He wants

you to get them back and warns you that all manner of creatures now infest the

cave.

Bramblepoint Cave is WNW of the Inn, back near the mouth of the Silverfish.

Inside, follow the passages to your left and you'll find a trap door to Inner

Bramblepoint Cave.

Once again, bear left through these tunnels and you'll come to a large chamber.

Down below is a door to Deep Bramblepoint Cave. Enter and turn right. Head

through the first cavern and into the next. You'll find Lithnilian's notes in

a chest at the back of this cave, to the right of the Welkynd formation. Grab

the notes and return to Imperial Bridge Inn.

Lithnilian is overjoyed and rewards you with a few potions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.3 THE POTATO SNATCHER

REWARD: 2 of S'jirra's Famous Potato Breads

Find the Faregyl Inn. Leave Bravil on the Green Road and follow it North. The

Inn is on a small side road, due North of the word "THE" in The Green Road.

A Khajiit named S'jirra has had her Jumbo Potatos stolen. She set them to give

them a little sun and something huge made off with them. She saw it heading

west. You should have a map marker for it now.

Head outside and follow this to the NW. It will lead you to an Ogre with a

fondness for spuds. Kill him and take the six Jumbo Potatos from his corpse.

Return to S'jirra for your reward, two loaves of her famous Potato Bread.

Mmm. Trail munchies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.4 BEAR SEASON

REWARD: The Argonian Account, Book 1

You'll find the small sheepfarm of Shardrock NE of Kvatch and WNW of Skingrad,

dead center between the two.

Thorley Aethelred, the Sheep herder, is having a problem with a group of West

Weald bears. They've gotten a taste for Mutton and he needs you to thin out

the herd so they'll leave. You'll need to find and kill six of the bears and

bring back their teeth as proof.

Detect Life will make this easy as the bears are spread out around the farm and

hard to see in the brush. Remember to take the teeth from each one you kill.

Bring all six back to Thorley and he'll reward you a skill book that raises

your Athletics Skill.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.5 GOBLIN TROUBLE

REWARD: A Goblin Totem, basically.

South East of the Imperial City, where the Yellow Road meets the Cerbele River,

you'll find Crestbridge Camp on the West side of the River.

At the camp, speak with Barthel Gernand. He and his family are trying to build

a settlement, but it was overrun by goblins. Ask him about Cropsford and you'll

recieve a map marker just North west of the camp.

Speak to Mirisa for more detailed information about the Goblins. There are two

rival tribes of Goblins. Their lairs are on either side of the settlement so

their raiding parties pass right through it. One clan has stolen the other

clan's Totem. There are two ways to stop the war.

1: The direct approach. Go to Cracked Wood Cave and find and kill the Shaman

of their tribe. The clan will fall apart and the war will be over.

2: The Stealthy approach. Sneak inside Timberscar Hollow and find the Cracked

Hollow Totem. Steal it and escape. So long as the rival clan doesn't have

their totem, the Cracked Wood mob wont care anymore.

I reccomend the stealthy approach, unless you're battle hardened and tough to

kill. Both Caves are crawling with goblins. I counted around twenty-five in

each cave and they tend to mill around together.

We're going to steal back the totem. Head to Timberscar Hollow. Inside, check

your map every few seconds. The Goblin currently in posession of the Totem will

be heading for the door shortly after you enter. Wait by the door, where there

are no Goblins and he'll come right to you. Easy kill.

Try to leave the Shamans alive for Fun with Totems later.

Now, head back to Crestbridge Camp and give Barthel the good news. He'll thank

you and ask that you return to Cropsford in a few weeks when they've had a

chance to finish the settlement. There is no reward, unless you count the

Goblin Totem.

In theory, if the Shaman that owns a Totem is still alive, you can drop that

Totem anywhere and Goblins should 'eventually' show up to recover it. That's

the theory. Mirisa will give you this information if you ask her.

================================================================================

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Q: Where is the Ayleid Collectors quest for the Imperial City.

A: The collectors quests are extensive so I made a guide just for them. You

should see it as "Ayleid Statues Guide". However, you can start them by

getting the Ayleid statue from the lowest floor in Vilverin and then

taking it to Umbacano manor in the Talos Plaza District, IC. For more

detailed info, see the statues guide.

Q: Is there an easier way to find Nirnroots?

A: Well, I don't know about easier but you can try this. Nirnroots actually

have a sound signature. If you go into controls and turn off both the

music and footsteps sounds, you'll be able to hear the hum of the roots

when you get near them.

CREDITS

Many thanks to my husband for testing all my directions and instructions. He

keeps me from sending anyone off a cliff.

Many, many thanks to the Avid Alchemist's Alcove, who's wonderful Obliv-O-Map

keeps me from wandering the countryside for days.

Thank you to Tones12 and Kaidian from the A.A.'s Alcove forums for helping me

find some side quests I missed.

Thanks to the ElderScrolls forums. A great bunch of ES addicts that can answer

just about any question, no matter how stupid.

Thank you to Dougjevon. There are two codes for Garridan's Tears. I had the

wrong one. Thanks for catching it.

Thanks to Raiden for his thoughts on Nirnroot hunting and for finding the "No

Stone Unturned" quest.
