Morrowind:Jobasha

Jobasha is a Khajiit bookseller who is the proprietor of "Jobasha's Rare Books" in the western corridor on the upper level of the Lower Waistworks in Vivec's Foreign Quarter. His shop is stocked with many rare books and is guarded by an Ordinator, who was sent by Duke Vedam Dren himself, according to Jobasha. He is both directly and indirectly involved in many quests that require rare books. He is also an active abolitionist and works closely with Ilmeni Dren. In his store you can find "Charles the Plant", a unique potted plant that produces "Meteor Slime".

He is wearing a common shirt with matching pants. Like all Khajiit, he can see well in the dark and can demoralize others for short periods. Aside from that, he knows: Divine Intervention, Mark, Recall, Detect Creature, and Detect Key.

Dialogue
Greetings:
"What can Jobasha do for you?"
Elsweyr: "It is the home of the Khajiit. Perhaps Jobasha will return someday."
Khajiit: "We are from the deserts and forests of Elsweyr. There are many Khajiit, but only the small, agile Suthay-raht are common here in Vvardenfell. When people think of Khajiit, they think of thieves. Perhaps because it is hard for us to understand "property.""
Morrowind: "How do you like it here?"
my trade: "Jobasha reads books, buys books, sells books. What more can Jobasha say? Jobasha knows a little about everything. So you ask, and maybe Jobasha will talk."
Vedam Dren: "Duke Dren sent guards to Jobasha's store. Are they here to protect Jobasha or protect others from Jobasha? Either way, Jobasha appreciates it."
Twin Lamps
[If you have freed at least 15 slaves and his disposition is at least 70.] "They are a brotherhood of fellow abolitionists. If %Name asks, "Have you seen the Twin Lamps?" You say, "They light the way to freedom.""
[If you have freed less than 15 slaves and his disposition is at least 70.] "Khajiit in Morrowind suffer. Some talk, some act. Which are you?"
[Else.] "Why would Jobasha know of these things?"
Unrest in Cyrodiil: "Things are bad for man and Khajiit. The provinces war with one another, never smelling the common enemy in their midst. The Empire spreads its troops far and wide with strict orders to do nothing. Children no longer respect their elders. People no longer respect the law. Corruption is everywhere. There are no heroes like there were in Jobasha's grandmother's day. All this fuss over the Emperor's illness is just a symptom."''

Quest-Related Events
Ahnassi, a Special Friend
At some point during your quest to become Ahnassi's "special friend", you are asked to cure another Khajiit, J'Dhannar, of his skooma addiction. Since J'Dhannar himself seems to think that his situation is hopeless, the best course of action appears to be to find some way to convince him otherwise, and what better way to do that than by offering him a book that recounts the tale of someone who has overcome her addiction?
cure skooma addiction
''"Khajiit know there is no cure for the skooma addict. And maybe Khajiit know things that are not true. You should read 'Confessions of a Dunmer Skooma-Eater.' Jobasha should have a copy for sale. In good condition, very reasonable."''

Boethiah's Quest
Once you have found an architect who is willing and able to reconstruct Boethiah's Shrine, you will need to find a book for him to draw inspiration from. As more often, Jobasha has what you need:
statue book
''"Hmmm... Jobasha may have what you are looking for. There is a book called "Boethiah's Glory." If Jobasha still has it in stock, it is yours for a reasonable price."

Dwemer Books
If Baladas Demnevanni is to join the Telvanni Council, you will first need to perform a favour for him by bringing him three books on his subject of choice, the Dwemer. Jobasha sells two of these books and knows where you can buy the third one:
Antecedents of Dwemer Law: "Jobasha knows this book well. Do you wish to buy? Perhaps Jobasha has a copy..."
Chronicles of Nchuleft: "Yes, Jobasha knows the Chronicles of Nchuleft. Perhaps Jobasha has a copy..."
Fire and Faith: "Jobasha thinks Dorisa's shop in Balmora is the place to look."

Free the Slaves
Mentioning the topic "Twin Lamps" to Jobasha after you have freed at least thirty slaves across Vvardenfell prompts Jobasha to thank you for your good deeds and to reward you with some valuable books:
Twin Lamps'''
[Disposition +25. The Armorer's Challenge has been added to your inventory. Realizations of Acrobacy has been added to your inventory. The Marksmanship Lesson has been added to your inventory.] "Jobasha knows you have freed many slaves, and Jobasha is grateful. Please take these rare books as a gift from Jobasha. Da aqqa dween."
After you have completed the quest, Jobasha has the following to say about the topic:
Twin Lamps
"You are a friend of abolitionists and a friend of Jobasha."

Galur Rithari's Papers
Since Jobasha has many books that are hard to come by, it makes sense to ask him if he can help you to acquire a copy of Galur Rithari's papers. Although he does not have a copy of the papers, Jobasha does have a tip on where you may find one:
'''Galur Rithari's papers
"%Name has heard of this book. You might try looking at the library in the Hall of Justice here in Vivec. It is a well-hidden library and guarded at all times, but you will find a copy there. %Name does not have a copy of this book."

Huleeya Informant
Even though Jobasha is not directly involved in this quest, it is possible to ask him about Huleeya, who apparently is his friend. He has, however, very little to say about him:
Huleeya'''
[If Huleeya is in Jobasha's store.] "Huleeya is here."
[Else.] "Huleeya is not here, %PCRace. Look for   in the Foreign Quarter."

Obviously, Jobasha is very upset if you, for whatever reason, decide to kill Huleeya:
Huleeya
[Disposition -20.] "Huleeya was a good friend of Jobasha. And Jobasha hears you are the one who killed Huleeya."


Vampires of Vvardenfell, Vol II
Skink-in-Tree's-Shade wants you to bring him a rare book on vampires in Vvardenfell. Whoever could help you with such a task?
Vampires of Vvardenfell: "It is a rare book. The Temple does not like this book, and could punish Jobasha if they knew..."

Notes
If the Entertainers official plugin is installed, Jobasha will have copies of the three new books added: ''I'm My Own Grandpa, The Balladeer's Fakebook and The Battle of Molag Beran''.
Jobasha's Rare Books is mentioned in Oblivion, where a receipt from the store can be found in Sundercliff Watch in Frathen Drothan's cabin.
