# Return to Evette.

Detailed Walkthrough
The Spiced Wine
Evette San is a food vendor who is famous for her Spiced Wine. You can find her at her market stall in Solitude during the day. She may ask you ''"You wouldn't have a few minutes to run down to the docks would you?" If you are willing to help her, she will tell you "I've got a shipment of Spices the East Empire Company is holding up. I need someone to convince them to release it."''

Get out of the city and follow the road down to the harbor area. You can find Vittoria Vici near the East Empire Company Warehouse during the day. Talk to her about Evette's shipment. Vittoria will say, ''"Ah yes. If she wants to pay the two thousand gold tariff than we'll be all set." At this point, you can try to persuade or bribe Vittoria. You must pass an easy Speech check to persuade her. You can also pay the 2000 gold tariff for the shipment.


Return to Evette with the good news and she will be very happy. "Thank you so much. I swear it's a fight with them every shipment."'' Then she will give you two bottles of Spiced Wine for your troubles. You can also take more drinks from her stall freely.

Notes
If the Dark Brotherhood quest Bound Until Death is completed, this quest will become unavailable.

Skyrim:Elisif's Tribute

Quick Walkthrough
# Speak to Elisif the Fair.
# Place Torygg's War Horn at the shrine of Talos  .
# Return to Elisif.

Detailed Walkthrough
A Personal Request
After you complete The Man Who Cried Wolf, Elisif's goodwill towards you has increased. So much so that she extends a tentative trust in you by making a personal request regarding her late husband, High King Torygg. She will tell you, "When we buried my husband I made offerings to all the gods... except Talos." This is because Talos worship is outlawed in the Empire. She would like you to take Torygg's War Horn and place it at a specific Shrine of Talos. Although she doesn't worship Talos herself, her husband would have wanted a proper Nordic burial done in this fashion.   
The Shrine of Talos
Travel to the Shrine of Talos in the wilderness of Whiterun Hold, due north of The Ritual Stone. Follow the path near Shimmermist Cave, along the northern bank of the river, and you can find the shrine behind some trees. As you approach the shrine, Agent Lorcalin and a Thalmor soldier will appear and attack you, as Lorcalin is under orders from the Thalmor emissary to kill any Talos worshippers he can find. Once the horn is placed in front of the statue of Talos and the quest updates, you are free to take it away at any time without affecting the quest's progress, and it will no longer be marked as a quest item.

The Jarl's Good Grace
Return to Elisif at the Blue Palace in Solitude where she will reaffirm her belief in you and allow you to purchase Proudspire Manor as well as take the next step to becoming a thane.

Notes
Prior to completing the prerequisite quest, the horn can be pickpocketed from Elisif. It will be marked as a quest item and cannot be removed from your inventory without completing the quest.
Fighting the Thalmor is not necessary to finish the quest; they can be calmed or evaded in order to activate the statue's base.
The Thalmor will always spawn the first time you are at the shrine, regardless of whether you're doing the quest.

Skyrim:For the Good of Morthal

Quick Walkthrough
#Speak to Gorm when he's apart from the Jarl.
#Deliver Gorm's letter to Captain Aldis in Solitude.

Detailed Walkthrough
Unfit to Lead
Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone governs Hjaalmarch from her seat in Morthal. She is gifted with visions that seem to occupy most of her attention; she is less concerned with governing a people than she is with attending to her visions and passing on the wisdom she gleans. Her administration is under scrutiny as a result, as you will find out when visiting Morthal.
If you speak to Gorm, Idgrod's housecarl, inside of Highmoon Hall he will be very solicitous of Ravencrone and her visions. However, if approached while away from the jarl he will reveal that his concerns are not just about her safety, but rather the condition her gift has left her in. He believes that she may no longer be able to adequately act as jarl of Hjaalmarch. 
The Greater Good
Speak with Gorm while he is dining at Moorside Inn at 6:00 p.m., or while he is walking to and from Highmoon Hall.  He will give you a letter to deliver to an Imperial Legion officer, Captain Aldis. Aldis can be found in Solitude at Castle Dour. Reading Gorm's Letter reveals that there is seemingly a plan in the works to remove Idgrod from power. Aldis, however, seems far less sanguine at the prospect of removing a sitting Empire-loyal jarl during wartime; but, he will take the information under advisement. He gives you 20 gold for delivering the letter. 

Notes
Counts for assisting people for Thane of Hjaalmarch.
The only way Idgrod is actually removed from power in game is if the Stormcloaks take over Morthal.
If siding with the Stormcloaks, this quest needs to be started before The Battle for Fort Hraggstad and finished before the Battle for Solitude to avoid issues. Also, Season Unending can transfer Hjaalmarch to the Stormcloaks; if that happens, then this quest cannot be started until Hjaalmarch is reconquered for the Empire.

Bugs
 
 
 Captain Aldis can be spawned again using the console command  player.placeatme 00041FB8 . Afterwards, you can speak with him about quests like normal.

Skyrim:Alchemy Tutorial

Radiant Options
This is a radiant quest which you can receive from any of the following people.


Quick Walkthrough
# Receive the potion recipe.
# Acquire one sample of wheat and one sample of blisterwort.
# Combine the ingredients at an alchemy lab to create a potion of Restore Health.

Detailed Walkthrough
The Recipe
Ask any of the quest givers if you can use the alchemy lab located in their shop or inn, as the case may be. They will all consent with the same reply, ''"Long as you clean up. You know how to use it right? Mix a couple of ingredients together, see what happens. A little Wheat and Blisterwort makes a healing potion, if you didn't know. We have plenty of ingredients for sale, too."'' 
As indicated, if you don't have these ingredients you can purchase them from the quest giver, or if you prefer to save yourself the gold, wheat can be found on many farms or randomly placed in barrels, and blisterwort mushrooms often grow in caves.  

Crafting the Potion
Once your ingredients are collected, approach the alchemy lab and select the wheat and blisterwort from your list of ingredients. To make a potion, each ingredient must share an alchemical effect.  If you've sampled blisterwort in the past, it will be listed under Damage Stamina, as that is its first effect. However, it also has a restore health effect. Confirm the crafting of the potion and finish the quest to receive a freshly brewed potion of Restore Health. After you have brewed the potion, the category of restore health will be added to the Alchemy menu.

Detailed Walkthrough
Erik the Farmer
Erik can be found staying in the Frostfruit Inn in the evening or working as a farmer for Lemkil in the small settlement of Rorikstead. He will be glad to see you, another adventurer: ''"You look like you've seen your share of adventure. I envy you that."'' In fact, he wants to be an adventurer like you, but his father Mralki doesn't agree. Not only does the farm need him, but his family couldn't afford to buy armor even if he did let Erik pursue his dream. Erik hopes you can talk to his father and change his mind.

Mralki is the innkeeper of Frostfruit Inn and you can find him there. Obviously, he worries about his son a lot. "My son? Erik? What about him? Did something happen? Is he alright?" You may talk to him in two ways:

Then you can attempt to persuade or intimidate Mralki. You must pass an easy Speech check to persuade him. You can also give him some gold for the cost of armor.


Erik the Slayer
Bring the good news to Erik and he will be very excited. ''"I'll hope you'll come back to Rorikstead soon and pay me a visit. Maybe we can swap stories about our adventures over a mug of ale at the inn!"'' The next time you see him, he will be equipped with a set of iron armor and you can also ask him to be your follower.

Skyrim:Enchanting Tutorial

Quick Walkthrough
# Use the Arcane Enchanter in Dragonsreach, with Farengar Secret-Fire's guidance.

Detailed Walkthrough
 
A Student of the Craft
On top of his duties as court wizard, Farengar Secret-Fire of Whiterun also provides tips on the basics of enchanting to prospective mages. Find him at his research station in Dragonsreach and ask him how to enchant weapons and armor. Upon doing so, he will introduce you the basics of enchanting in Skyrim:

''"Ah, a student of the craft. You'll need to start by learning an enchantment. Take an enchanted weapon or piece of armor, then use the Arcane Enchanter to learn its secrets. The item is destroyed in the process, so be wary. Once you know an enchantment, you'll need a filled soul gem, and something to enchant. You'll use the Arcane Enchanter for that, too. Of course I have everything you need for sale, if you have the coin."'''

Master in the Making
Using this advice, you may walk over to his arcane enchanter and begin enchanting. The quest will complete upon activating the enchanter. It is not necessary to enchant or even disenchant an item to complete this quest.

Notes
This quest will end with no failure message if you stray too far from Dragonsreach, either by fast travel or by simply walking down the steps outside. The quest remains active throughout nearly all of Dragonsreach including both the Great Porch and the castle grounds, but can disappear if you get too close to the secret escape to the Guard Barracks in the dungeons.

Skyrim:Payment Delivery

Quick Walkthrough
#Speak to Pactur and agree to deliver his message to Bryling.
#Speak to Bryling about the late shipment and receive a reward.

Detailed Walkthrough
Go to Stonehills and speak to Pactur inside Sorli's House. Ask him if he owns the mine, then continue the conversation until he asks you to take a message to Bryling. It doesn't matter what choices you make in the preceding conversation, all of them lead to Pactur asking to deliver the message.

Go to Solitude and find Thane Bryling, either at the Blue Palace by day, or at her house nearby at night. Tell her you have a message from Pactur. After informing her that the shipment will arrive soon, Bryling will reward you with a small amount of gold.

Notes
Despite Pactur mentioning he will let you take ingots as a reward for delivering the message to Bryling, you can already take the ingots around the smelter without penalty.
With either Hearthfire or the Unofficial Skyrim Patch installed, Pactur will move to Morthal if Sorli takes over as Jarl.

Quest Stages
Skyrim:Argonian Ale Extraction

Quick Walkthrough
# Meet Brenuin on the streets of Whiterun.
# Go to The Bannered Mare and acquire the Argonian Ale.
# Return to Brenuin to be rewarded.

Detailed Walkthrough
After you give Brenuin a gold coin on the streets of Whiterun, the option to ask him if he is always drunk will become available. Ask him, and he will reply "Only if I can help it." He then asks you to bring him a special bottle of ale: ''"In the Bannered Mare, there's this bottle of Argonian Ale. The good stuff. Get it for me."''

The inn is in the market area of Whiterun's Plains District, where Brenuin usually pesters the stall owners outside the inn or customers inside. The ale is in the inn's kitchen (to the left from the main entrance), on the cupboard opposite the cooking spit.

Alternatively, the ale can be obtained by raising the disposition of the innkeeper Hulda. This can be done by chopping wood outside the inn and selling it to Hulda. Her disposition will then be high enough that she allows you to take low-value items from the inn without it being theft. This includes the bottle of Argonian Ale.

After acquiring the ale, return to Brenuin. He will thank you and reward you with a Potion of Vigorous Healing that he had recently "obtained" from the Temple of Kynareth, or as he puts it: "I, er, "found" it in the temple."

Notes
You can refuse to feed his habit when he asks you to steal the ale, though this does not lock you out of the quest as the option still remains to discuss his sobriety later.
The amount of wood given to Hulda does not matter; her disposition will be raised even if you sold just one piece.

Quest Stages
Skyrim:Greatsword for a Great Man

Quick Walkthrough
# Talk to Adrianne Avenicci.
# Go to Dragonsreach.
# Talk to Proventus Avenicci.

Detailed Walkthrough
 
A Warmaiden's Gift
Adrianne Avenicci is a blacksmith who owns the smithy and weapons shop, Warmaiden's, in Whiterun. When asked if she works her forge all day, Adrianne will admit that she does, and that she recently forged a greatsword for Jarl Balgruuf the Greater in an attempt to impress him. However, she can't seem to find an opportunity to deliver it. She would like for the sword to be delivered to her father, Proventus Avenicci, the steward of Dragonsreach in Whiterun.

Delivering the Sword
Proventus is generally found in the main chamber of Dragonsreach, beside the throne. Deliver the sword to him, telling him that it is from his daughter. He will remark, ''"From Adrianne? Ah, this must be that weapon for the Jarl. Poor girl, so eager to prove herself. I'll present it to Balgruuf when his mood is... agreeable."'' He will then reward you with twenty gold.

Notes
If you sided with the Stormcloaks in the Civil War and have completed Battle for Whiterun, Proventus will be in the Blue Palace's basement along with Balgruuf and Irileth. The quest is otherwise the same as if you had joined the Imperials.
As a quest item, the sword has zero weight. It can be tempered, but not enchanted, making it a potentially useful item to hold onto early in the game.

Skyrim:Andurs' Arkay Amulet

Quick Walkthrough
# Speak to Andurs in the Hall of the Dead.
# Retrieve Andurs' Amulet of Arkay.
# Return the amulet to Andurs.

Detailed Walkthrough
His Badge of Office
Whiterun's Hall of the Dead is overseen by Andurs, priest of Arkay. When you first meet Andurs he will ask if you believe in Arkay and his sway over life and death. This is an opening gambit which he uses to determine how best to persuade you to retrieve his amulet, which he left behind in the catacombs. Andurs assures you that he would get it himself, however, strange noises are now coming from the catacombs and he fears the restless dead.

The Restless Dead
Ready yourself for a fight and enter the catacombs. You will encounter a few skeletons, who are immune to poison and paralysis, and resistant to frost. When you move forward, quickly turn to your right, as the first skeleton stands in wait here. Dispatch it as quickly as you can, because a second skeleton, who stands at the bottom of the stairs here, will rush to its aid. After this, there is a third and final skeleton behind the closed door to the left of the entrance. If you were unable to quickly kill the first two, then it may have already detected you and emerged to try and flank you. 

Amulet of Arkay
Follow the stairs down by the second skeleton and go through the door; the amulet lies next to a wreath on the right-hand table. Before you leave, head to the base of the other set of stairs, and locate the Unusual Gem in one of the alcoves. This gem is related to the quest No Stone Unturned. Ascend the stairs and enter the room where the third skeleton stood; a copy of the Block skill book Death Blow of Abernanit can be found on one of the tables.

Return to Andurs and hand him the amulet. He will be very grateful... and reward you with 15 gold.

Skyrim:Salt for Arcadia

Quick Walkthrough
# Talk to Farengar Secret-Fire.
# Talk to Arcadia.

Detailed Walkthrough
The Only Show In Town
Farengar Secret-Fire is a dedicated court wizard serving Jarl Balgruuf the Greater at Dragonsreach in Whiterun. Most of his time is spent studying and advising the Jarl on the current dragon threat.
However, he does have time to assist the locals in town. If you ask him if he is the only wizard in town, he will acknowledge that while, technically, he is alone in his craft, the town also holds other practitioners. And, since he's on the subject, he remembers he has some frost salts he'd promised to pick up for local alchemist Arcadia, the proprietor of Arcadia's Cauldron. He asks if you wouldn't mind delivering the frost salts; Arcadia will surely compensate you for them. When you tell him you will help him out, he will respond with a disparaging remark, but will hand you the frost salts, a quest item not to be dropped. 

He'll Never Know What Hit Him
Head to Arcadia's Cauldron and enter during regular business hours, specifically between 8am and 8pm, or even when she strolls around the main trading room in the evening; as always, she will claim you have a fatal disease in hopes you will buy one of her potions, but will be grateful for the salts. She then reveals she needs the salts for a love elixir meant for the unsuspecting Farengar, and will then hand you three potions as compensation. Additionally, as you have now earned her friendship, almost all the various ingredients and potions in her shop are free to take.

Detailed Walkthrough
You're In the Army Now
After successfully clearing the bandits from Fort Hraggstad, your usefulness has been proven to Legate Rikke. Your oath has been sworn; you are officially an Imperial soldier and protector of the Empire. It's time you look the part. General Tullius tells you to go to Beirand, the smith, to get outfitted with your own Imperial armor. Talk to Beirand and choose your preferred weight:

When you are properly outfitted, Beirand will admonish you: ''"Now, that's it. One free outfit per soldier. You lose that, or get it banged up, you'll need to pay like everyone else."''

Notes
It is not possible to do this quest if you first join the legion by giving the Jagged Crown to General Tullius.
Note that the Medium option contains one heavy armor piece (shield) and the rest are light armor pieces.
Completing this quest will allow you to adopt  Kayd if he ever becomes orphaned. In effect, this means Kayd can only be adopted if you choose to first join the Legion (although you can later defect to the Stormcloaks by giving the Jagged Crown to Ulfric).

n her 29th summer of life,   the huntress met the warlord   on the field of battle. None remember what they fought over, for their love to come was so great it overshadowed all rivalries or disputes. They fought to a standstill, as their followers looked on - till her sword broke his axe and his shield dulled her blade and all could see that they were equals.

As the Eagle finds its mates, so too did Fjori find hers in Holgeir, and a time of peace came to the clans of the forest. But as the summer's warmth gives way to winter's chill, so too would this peace pass.

But the Snake came and bit Holgeir, its venom seeping deep into the wound.

A Whale greeted Fjori's view as she came over the snow-covered mountains to the coast.
