Breaking Through the Fog[]

As deputy governor of Seyda Neen, Daminah investigates the recent shipwreck near the town, and asks the Vestige to help her solve the case.

Dialogue[]

Broken Bonds

"As Governor of this region, I have questions that need to be answered. We found you among the wreckage of the slaver ship, and we found a strongbox with your name on it in another wreck. I'll give you the strongbox if you tell me the truth."

I helped a Morag Tong agent. She had a writ to assassinate the slaver captain. "Did she? And where is this writ? I don't see any writ. And without a writ, all I have is a murder. Take your strongbox, but we'll hold onto you until I have proof of your claim. I have no patience for tale-tellers or slavers."

Breaking Through the Fog

"By the order of the deputy governor of Seyda Neen, which happens to be me, the lighthouse is closed until further notice. On the other hand, I seek an outlander who's willing to do a little work."

What kind of work are you talking about? "I need someone without ties to the area to look into the matter for me. It seems the lighthouse was broken into. The flame extinguished. As a result, a ship crashed along the shore. There were fewer bodies than expected, both living and dead."

You want me to figure out who put out the flame? "I suspect slavers were involved, which means they had help here in town. I find that unacceptable. Discover who doused the lamp fire. They'll lead us to the slavers. Question Delms, who was on duty that night. He's in the lighthouse."

I'll search the lighthouse. "I need to check in with the overseer. His workers are searching the wreckage and I want to know what they've uncovered."

After accepting the quest:

Did you find any survivors from the crash? "By the time we were alerted and organized a response, precious moments had been lost. We rescued a few, but mostly we found those who had drowned or were crushed on the rocks. Even so, it was nowhere near the numbers a ship like that carries."

Is there anything I should know about the ship that crashed? "It was just a typical sailing ship from the mainland. I suppose it carried the usual compliment of cargo and travelers eager to reach our verdant shores. I don't believe that such a vessel would make the trip without filling its holds. Damn slavers."

Why do you suspect slavers? "Ever since our agreement with the Pact went into effect, slavery has been outlawed throughout most of Morrowind. But all we did was drive the slavers into shadows. This whole stinking event has their bloody fingerprints all over it.

So slavery is illegal here? "Here, and in all the territories controlled by the Great Houses that support the Ebonheart Pact. If you stray into Telvanni or Dres territory, though, the practice remains strong and vibrant. Hence my current troubles."

Tell me about Seyda Neen. "We're just a small outpost along the Bitter Coast, but I like to think of us as the gateway to Vvardenfell. From here, Vivec City and the other inlaid locations are easily accessible. Governor Omellian is in charge although I contribute as necessary."

After hearing Marise Rothrano's confession:

"Unfortunately, the wreck of the vessel provided no additional clues. Were you able to discover anything during your investigation?"

Marise Rothrano says the Tribunal hired her to extinguish the lighthouse lamp. "The young woman who works with the grocer? I doubt the Tribunal would ask her to do something so reckless. Do you have any proof other than her word?"

I found this note in a hollow tree, along with a ruby that was her payment. "Hmm, this is disturbing. This parchment feels just like the sheets that Governor Omellian special orders from High Rock. I'm going to need you to acquire another sample from the governor's office. It's the only way to be certain."

Can't you just ask the governor to give you a few sheets? "Not if I don't want him to know I suspect that's he's working with the slavers. Or the Tribunal, though I still consider that to be some sort of fabrication. No, if I alert him too soon, he'll just cover his tracks."

So you want me to steal paper from the governor's office? "Not the office. He keeps it in his private quarters, accessed through the guard house. But I'd never suggest that you sneak into his quarters and steal a blank sheet of his special parchment. That would be against the law. Do you understand me?"

I understand. I'll get another sheet of parchment from the governor's private quarters.

After stealing the helmet, telling Deminah Salvi about it and using the persuasion option afterwards:

"Someone attacked the governor. This guard will live. Did you find anything important on Firemoth Island?"

I found this note on the island. "So the Governor hoped to use the Morag Tong to cover his tracks, but this note just adds to the evidence you've already uncovered. Well done! You have provided a great service to Seyda Neen. I'll take it from here."

Conversations[]

If you collected the parchment, found the half-written note about the Firemoth island being clear of the slavers, Sergeant Delms lives and the governor didn't escape:

Governor Omellian: "Well, I suppose we're done here. I have a silt strider waiting." Deminah Salvi: "No. Governor Omellian, I am placing you under arrest for promoting slavery in Pact territory." Governor Omellian: "How dare you accuse me of such a thing! You have no proof!" Deminah Salvi: "A note on your parchment which led to the sabotage of the lighthouse and a shipwreck off our coast. A letter naming you as the slaver captain's partner. Do you deny your involvement?" Governor Omellian: "That proves nothing! I'll have you hanged for this!" Sergeant Delms: "The document you requested, Deputy Governor." Deminah Salvi: "And your report to Vivec City claiming Firemoth Island to be free of slaver activity, written before we eradicated the slaver base." Governor Omellian: "Delms! You can't believe these blatant lies about me!" Sergeant Delms: "My duty is clear, traitor." Deminah Salvi: "Secure him." Sergeant Delms: "Yes, Governor Salvi."

If you collected the parchment, found the half-written note about the Firemoth island being clear of the slavers, Sergeant Delms is killed and the governor didn't escape:

Governor Omellian: "Well, I suppose we're done here. I have a silt strider waiting." Deminah Salvi: "No. Governor Omellian, I am placing you under arrest for promoting slavery in Pact territory." Governor Omellian: "How dare you accuse me of such a thing! You have no proof!" Deminah Salvi: "A note on your parchment which led to the sabotage of the lighthouse and a shipwreck off our coast. A letter naming you as the slaver captain's partner. Do you deny your involvement?" Governor Omellian: "That proves nothing! I'll have you hanged for this!" Sergeant Garil: "Sergeant Delms! He's dead!" Deminah Salvi: "Murderer! Sergeant Delms knew that you had a report claiming Firemoth Island was free of slavers, and we both know that was a lie." Governor Omellian: "The Sergeant's dead? Who would do such a thing?" Deminah Salvi: "Secure him." Sergeant Garil: "Yes, Governor Salvi."

If you collected the parchment, found the half-written note about the Firemoth island being clear of the slavers, Sergeant Delms is killed and the governor escaped:

Sergeant Garil:' "Deputy Governor?" Deminah Salvi: "Sergeant, where's Governor Omellian? What happened here?" Sergeant Garil: "Sergeant Delms! He's dead! When I came to inform the Governor, he ambushed me!" Deminah Salvi: "The Governor seeks to escape justice! After him!"

If you collected the parchment, found the half-written note about the Firemoth island being clear of the slavers, Sergeant Delms lives and the governor escaped:

Sergeant Delms:' "Deputy Governor …." Deminah Salvi: "Sergeant, where's Governor Omellian? What happened here?" Sergeant Delms: "The Governor struck me from behind and fled." Deminah Salvi: "The Governor seeks to escape justice! After him!"
