Detailed Walkthrough

Ienas Sarandas has lost more than money
In Ald'ruhn, ask around and you will learn that Ienas Sarandas has lost his patrimony betting on guar and has sold his family silverware to pay his debts. Go to any of the merchants and they will offer you work. It seems that Ienas Sarandas has failed to pay up for the goods he has purchased.

Guiding him back to the right path
Look for Ienas Sarandas in his house. Ask him about the goods. Don't bother threatening him, it does no good. If you have a Speechcraft skill of at least 50, or can raise his Disposition towards you to at least 60, then he will give you the goods to return on his behalf. Alternately, you can quote an excerpt from the book ''Saryoni's Sermons'' if you have a copy in your inventory or offer him a bottle of Greef, Cyrodiilic Brandy, or Flin to convince him to mend his ways (he will not take the book or the drinks from you; you just have to be carrying one of them). 

There's actually a copy of ''Saryoni's Sermons'' in his house he won't mind you taking. It is located on a small round table. Using any of these techniques results in him giving you the items and joining the temple. If you can get him to do this, he will move to the Ald'ruhn temple as soon as you leave his house.

Bad Path
Alternatively, you could just get the Ienas Sarandas conversation topic from one of the merchants, talk to Sarandas, get him to give you his clothing (using one of the above methods), and keep it for yourself. The Brocade Shirt and Silk Pants both have the enchant values of their exquisite counterparts, while the Racer Suede Belt, Glass Ring, Ebony Ring and Firejade Amulet have the enchant values of their expensive counterparts. You can also just kill him for the items, but note that if you do so, you can still complete the quest but your disposition with the locals may actually decrease.

The Merchants
The merchants are quite easy to find, three of them are right outside Ienas' house. The enchanter and the fine clothier are located in the Ald'ruhn Manor District on the bottom floor. Returning all of the items in a peaceful way will earn you 1 Reputation point. The merchants also give you some gold and better prices, along with praise for your skillful solution.

Notes
If you use Saryoni's Sermons to convince Sarandas, his disposition towards you increases by 30. If you use alcohol, it doesn't increase at all.

This quest is actually five smaller quests combined into one, in terms of how they appear in your journal.  Oddly, these quest names misspell his last name as "Sarandus" instead of "Sarandas".  The names of the quests are:
Bevene Releth and Ienas Sarandus
Bivale Teneran and Ienas Sarandus
Daynes Redothril and Ienas Sarandus
Llether Vari and Ienas Sarandus
Tiras Sadus and Ienas Sarandus
