Detailed walkthroughEdit

Ranis Athrys in the Balmora Guild of Mages believes that the Guild has been infiltrated by a Telvanni spy. The assignment is to visit the Guild halls in Ald'ruhn, Sadrith Mora, Vivec in order to find the spy and report back to Ranis.

Acquire the Guild Guide. Go to the Ald'ruhn Guild and speak with Edwinna Elbert. However he seems to have no idea about the spy.

Travel to Sadrith Mora Mages Guild, talk to Skink-in-Tree's-Shade. He does suspect there is a spy but suggests checking in the Vivec Mages Guild where the Guild decisions are actually made.

Head to Vivec and speak to Trebonius Artorius. He denies the existence of spies, saying that his advisor Tiram Gadar keeps an eye out for that sort of thing. However, inquire further and Trebonius gives Tiram's credentials which appear to be forged since the High Chancellor, Imperial Battlemage Ocato's name is misspelled.

Return to Ranis with the phony credentials and be rewarded with an increase in Disposition with Ranis, Reputation points with the Mages Guild, a Reputation point, two Scrolls of Summon Golden Saint and Soul Drinker.
