Dialogue
Greetings:
''"Yes, I'm Theldyn Virith. Sort of the Hetman of Ald Velothi."
"What brings you back to Ald Velothi, %PCName?"
Arvel Family:"The Arvels have lived here for years. Despite their Hlaalu connections, they are decent and generous."
Cure Disease potion:
"Are you here to deliver the potion?"
Yes:[Disposition +10; Potion of Cure Common Disease has been removed from your inventory] "Good. The Arvel Family will be grateful. Anything I can do for you? I might have some duties for you later."
''No:"Oh, I'm sorry. I was expecting a potion from Ald'ruhn, so I assumed..."
"Thank you again for delivering the potion. One of the Arvel Family was ill."
duties:
"Not right now, %PCName. Maybe in a few days. Make sure you tell Neminda that you delivered the potion."
"I have no more duties for you. Speak with Faral Retheran in the Redoran Treasury in Vivec or with Athyn Sarethi."
Theldyn Virith:"I'm Theldyn. What can I do for you?"

Quest-Related Events
Old Blue Fin
As soon as you have finished the quest Deliver Cure Disease Potion, you can return to Theldyn to receive your first duty from him:
duties
"Thank you for asking, %PCName. Normally things are pretty quiet in Ald Velothi, but Old Blue Fin is back and up to his old tricks. It's time someone got rid of Old Blue Fin for good."
Old Blue Fin
"He's a Slaughterfish we see around here every couple of years. He came back bigger and meaner than ever and has been hanging around the docks. Me and him go way back... But this time he's gone too far. Kill him before he puts my fishermen out of business."

Return to Theldyn after you have slain the Slaugtherfish to finish the quest:
"Is Old Blue Fin finally dead?"
Old Blue Fin
"[Disposition +10. 10 units of Dreugh Wax have been added to your inventory.] "So Old Blue Fin is finally dead. The Dreughers here in town asked me to give you this Dreugh wax if you got rid aof Old Blue  ."

Mentioning the topic again after the completion of the quest elicits the following response:
Old Blue Fin
''"Without Old Blue Fin stirring things up, Ald Velothi will be quiet again. You know, I'm almost sorry to see him go."

You can neither receive the quest nor turn it in while you are expelled, as Theldyn will dismiss you with the following words:
Old Blue Fin
"I heard you'd been expelled, %PCName."''

Furthermore, he won't have any more duties for you until you have finished some other duties for Neminda:
duties
''"I don't have any more duties right now. Things are usually quiet here in Ald Velothi. Something might turn up. Why not do a few more duties for Neminda and check back with me?"''

Ashimanu Mine
Once you have completed both the above quest and the quest Founder's Helm (which is offered by Neminda), you may receive your second duty from Theldyn:
duties
''"A diseased shalk got into an egg mine on the trade route to Ald'ruhn. I need someone to kill the shalk in the Ashimanu Mine."
Ashimanu Mine
"The diseased shalk has been infecting Kwama and miners, so the mine's been abandonded. Kill the shalk and report back to me. I just heard some reports of Kagouti attacking traders along that route as well, so be careful. If you see any Kagouti near there, kill them too. It's best to start in Gnisis and cross the river south of the silt strider. When you reach a rough trail, follow it east and south. When the trail branches south and east, take the east fork."

If you have already killed the shalk before Theldyn asks you to do so, he will acknowledge this fact instead of giving you the above response:
Ashimanu Mine
[Disposition +10.] "Oh, you killed the shalk already? Good work, %PCName."

Else, you will have to return to him after killing the creature to finish the quest:
"Did you take care of that shalk in the Ashimanu Mine?"
Ashimanu Mine
[Disposition +10.] "I heard you killed the shalk. Good work, %PCName."

If you mention the topic again after the end of the quest, Theldyn says:
Ashimanu Mine
"I hope the mine gets back up and running soon. There's few enough egg mines as it is."

Kagouti Den
Speak with Theldyn again to receive your next duty from him:
duties
"I heard there's been another problem along the Gnisis-Ald'ruhn caravan track. Kagouti have been attacking travelers between Ald'ruhn and Gnisis. I need someone to find this kagouti den."
Kagouti den
"A den of Kagouti have been attacking travelers just south of the Ouada Samsi. Find this Kagouti den, kill the pack leader, and report back to me."

If you have already killed the Kagouti (for instance, while travelling through that area during the previous quest), the quest will be completed as soon as you receive it:
Kagouti den
[Disposition +10.] "Well, I guess the Kagouti you already killed near there are the ones that were attacking travelers. If I hear about any more attacks I'll let you know."''

Else, you'll need to return to Theldyn after dealing with the Kagouti in order to finish this quest:
''"Did you take care of the kagouti den on the Gnisis-Ald'ruhn road?"
Kagouti den
[Disposition +10.] "Good work, %PCName. We need to keep the trade routes running, even with all that's going on."

If you mention the topic again after the completion of this quest, Theldyn says:
Kagouti den
"I haven't heard about any more trouble along the caravan track, %PCName."

Shishi Report (quest)
Once you have taken care of the Kagouti, Theldyn will give you your fourth duty:
duties
"House Redoran sent a party to destroy the Telvanni base Shishi. They were supposed to report back to me, but they have not done so. I need someone to find out what's going and bring me the Shishi report."
Shishi report
"Shishi is a Velothi tower in the middle of the Foyada Bani-Dad northwest of Maar Gan. Go to Maar Gan, head east past the Silt Strider, then follow the Foyada north and west until you see it. It's right in the middle of the Foyada. The leader of the expedition you need to speak with is Brerama Selas."

Return to Theldyn with the Shishi report to complete the quest:
"Do you have the Shishi report?"
Shishi report
"Do you have the report from Shishi?"
Yes, here it is.
"Yes, this is the report I wanted. What was that? You also found a Telvanni wizard hiding there? Good work, %PCName. Maybe now the Telvanni will give up their claims to Shishi."
No, not yet.
"I need that report. There may be lives at stake."

If you mention the topic again after having completed the quest, Theldyn says:
Shishi report
"Shishi is still disputed territory. I hope the Duke does something about all these rogue Telvanni soon."

Kill Gordol
Speak with Theyldyn again to receive your next quest:
duties
"I have some duties for you, but this is a tough one. We need someone to slay the cultists in Ashalmawia."
Ashalmawia
"Go to Ashalmawia, just east of Ald Velothi. Find the foul Daedra worshipper Gordol, kill him, and report your victory to me."

Return to Theldyn after killing Gordol to finish the quest:
"Are the cultists in Ashalmawia dead?"
Ashalmawia
"Gordol is dead and the Fourth Corner shall no longer plague the citizens of Ald Velothi. Please take this spear as a reward from me, and from St. Veloth, the patron of our village." [Ebony Spear has been added to your inventory.]

If you mention this topic again after finishing the quest, Theldyn says:
Ashalmawia
The cultists in Ashalmawia are no more."
