The  ! First, the obvious safety notices. The clannfear is still a formidable foe, so don't attempt this alone or if you don't have confidence in your abilities. They want nothing more than to tear the flesh right off you, and never forget that. Get out of the way when they charge, don't get bitten by that nasty beak, and watch out for the tail swipes.

:Now, on to the fun! You need a rope, a  , and good aim for this one—and, of course, a clannfear. That shouldn't be too hard to find these days. Tie your rope up into a noose-like knot with a wide loop at the end. Then, ride in big circles around the clannfear, spin your rope over your head, and try to land the loop right where he's going to step. If you can catch the leg and trip it, you've won!

:They've forgotten the glory of the Empire, satisfied to bicker over its remnants, and it'll take us Colovians to put them and all these upstart alliances squabbling over the throne in their place. We will restore order here and in the other unruly provinces by whatever means necessary ... as soon as we can agree who to put on the throne. Hundreds of years from now, they will surely look back at this dark time as the only weakness the Empire ever displayed."

They are typically concerned with taxation, infrastructure, and minor legislation (over which the Emperor has the power of veto). Appointment to the Council is both an honor and a burden, though some nobles view it only as a means to obtain more power and influence.

:In recent years, the importance of the Council has been proven over and over again. With the frequent turmoil and changes in Emperorship, the Council has maintained what degree of order it can under the leadership of Chancellor  . Without his guidance to many neophyte Emperors, the Empire would surely have disintegrated entirely by this point, and though there is much to reclaim, there is no doubt that a man such as Chancellor Tharn—long-lived, educated in every sphere, and well-versed in political maneuverings—will be instrumental in rebuilding what has been lost.

However, by midday, the Dominion managed to seize the nearby lumber mill and farm. I worry that they intend to starve us out; it's as if they knew we were running low on supplies.

:With the mill in their hands, we can expect even more siege weapons, too. When I told Bites-Four-Stars, he just laughed. "Let them build more. My Nightblades will burn them as soon as they rise." I hope it is not just bravado. Our numbers dwindle, but we will not allow these lunatics one step closer to   holdings. I swear it by  .

:Initiate Pulcheria,

:We were in the same summoning ceremony three nights ago upon the mountain. You may remember me—I was noted by our ritual-master for my strong chanting voice and mastery of the dread syllables (for such a new worshiper, at least). I'm not usually one for letters of this nature, but I must say: I was simply astounded by your   abilities. Your sigils were traced perfectly, the   you called forth was one of the finest and strongest I've seen, and the power that radiated from you ... I was speechless.

:Pulcheria, I believe we can do great things together. I feel we should convene privately to discuss the potential for destruction and chaos we could unleash. In fact, let's make an evening of it! I have a wonderful recipe for stewed   and know the perfect little hillock where we could meet.

Lore:Sage Svari Answers Your Questions

'''Much is known about how both   and   spread, but the tales surrounding  's creation of the first vampires are as gruesome and horrid as the God of Schemes himself. Yet my scales run dry with aggravation for never having found any legends surrounding the original creation of werewolves. So I ask you, do you have arcane lore or ancient legend to divulge on the matter of Hircine's creation of the first werewolves? -Rasheel of Moonmarch, scholar, explorer, adventurer

Svari says, "My researches into the subject continue, but to date I have discovered no definitive account of the origin of werewolves, though no one doubts that Lord   was involved, if not instrumental. This lacuna is not really surprising, as the curse (or, some say, gift) of lycanthropy has been known in   since the early  . No written accounts date from that time, as it was before   brought writing to humankind, but I hold out hope of finding a later recording of an oral tradition."


In  , it was stated that "One of the more wild theories is that it is the result of some sort of Daedric backroom deal between Hircine and Molag Bal that has given sufferers of Noxiphilic Sanguivoria a werewolf-like love of moonlight." This is very interesting, could you expand upon the origin of this theory? – Dylan Barnes'''

Svari says, "Despite his name, Cinna Scholasticus, author of the book in question, is regarded by most serious scholars as a self-aggrandizing sensationalist. That said, the work is not entirely without merit, as most of it is cribbed from Doctor Zoorophim's 'Comprehensive Index of Cursed Afflictions,' especially his chapter on Infectious Banes. However, the idea of an infernal bargain between Hircine and Molag Bal first appeared in a work of fiction, the notorious 'Seventeen Tastes of Infamy' by the Porphyry Caryatid, and must therefore be regarded as irresponsible speculation."


'''What is the difference between   and Canis Hysteria? Canis Hysteria was mentioned in the Emperor's Guide from the ESO Collector's Edition&#58; "[ ] hold the secrets of   and Canis Hysteria in their jealous grasps." If they were referring to C. Hysteria as a species, then why would they pair that next to the vampire disease? Wouldn't Canis Hysteria also be disease too? – Kinetiks'''

Svari says: "The terms 'Sanies Lupinus' and 'Canis Hysteria' can be used interchangeably, though the former is more common, at least here in  ."
Beleaguered Sanctuary

Quick Walkthrough
#Speak to   in  's Guild of Fighters.
#Journey to the Shrine of Hindsight and kill  .
#Return to Amiro for your reward.

Detailed Walkthrough
Amiro is concerned about reports of a bandit who has been preying on the pilgrims journeying to the Shrine of Hindsight, and wants you to step in to eliminate the individual, who goes by the name of Tedril Draren. He notes, somewhat accurately, that actually finding the Shrine of Hindsight may be the hardest part of this job.

Amiro's directions are as follows:

''"Take the road south out of Akamora, not taking any forks. If you see the silt strider, you've on [sic] the wrong way."

"The road will turn southeast by the Teeth of Stone -- two long rock arches with stalagmites under them. You'll see why they're called this way when you pass them. Once you've left the second set of teeth behind you, the road turns left, but you keep going straight southwards, until you get a chance to turn west, which you do. Keep going until Kodasha Egg Mine and further. When you reach a lake, turn left and climb the hill. Then go east."

"You should end up in an isolated vale with some puddles and a cave at the end; one of the nicer sights in this region. A natural stair on the other side of the cave will lead you to the Shrine. Tedril Draren is reported to be hiding somewhere in the cave."''

thumb|left|The Akamora back road, running off to the left in this image 
thumb|left|The 'teeth' on the Akamora back road 
thumb|left|The arch - proceed through this and then strike west to Kodasha Egg Mine and the lake beyond 

In practice, this means taking the signposted 'Akamora back road' south out of town. After the second row of 'teeth', the path bends left. Do not follow, but go straight on. The path should take you under a rocky arch (pictured), at which point you turn west and carry on until reaching   (the mine itself is empty, but for a couple of chests containing valuable items, including a random ebony weapon, hidden within its underground river).

Continue west past the mine to the lake beyond, and on reaching the lakeside, immediately climb the steep grassy slope to the left. You will quickly breast the hill and descend into a gorge, at the end of which is another pool of water. Tedril Draren can be found on the opposite side of the pool, by the stairs leading up to the shrine.

Kill him for his irritating choice of raiding location (and because you're being paid to), rob him of his Glass Shortsword, and return to Amiro in Akamora to report the death.

Quick Walkthrough
#Speak to   at the Guild of Fighters in  .
#Speak to   in the Tomaril Manor manor house.
#Take the package to   at  .
#Return to Circus Leonos.

Detailed Walkthrough
Speak to Circus Leonos in the basement of the Guild of Fighters in Akamora. He has two jobs, and is taking the one that involves actually killing things. The second falls to you - a package delivery from Tomaril Manor.

Circus notes that the road to reach this place is from a path that starts a bit south-west of the Tiranat-Parys Egg Mine, a location that you may have visited as part of the earlier Fighters Guild quest,  . To get here again, leave the Fighters Guild and turn right, walking up the road to the guard tower. You're looking for worn stone stairs running down from the road. This is the fastest route to the Akamora egg mines, which are situated out over a valley.

On reaching the mines, you should see an encampment in the middle. From there, head south along the gully, past the Tiranat-Parys Egg Mine, until you reach a fork in the road. The left fork goes to Tomaril Manor (check the signpost to confirm this). Take another left, and follow the path to the end.

Enter Tomaril Manor through the guard tower, and ascend up to the main manor. Your contact, Galdalior, is in the Manor House. Speak to him about 'package transport', and he will give you a spell book and instructions that you must transport to Geras Egg Mine, which is some way to the east of Tomaril Manor. The spell book is intended to allow the miners to heal themselves, given the presence of diseased kwama in the mine.

The mine itself is on flat terrain that begins just east of Tomaril Manor, but without a means of levitation, you must needs walk. Proceed back down the path from Tomaril Manor. Where it turns west, there is a rocky arch to your right. Go through it, and descend the cliffs to the east to the lowland grasslands. You'll need to strike a consistent path east from this point, passing   until you arrive at the mine (if by some chance you reach   instead, follow the road north, and take the left fork - the egg mine is at the end of this).

Notes
Given the frequent mention of Dridrea, it is likely that rather than descending the cliffs, the originally-intended player experience was to make your way through the Dridrea-infested gullies north of that point, circling around the cliffs through  , before following the path down to the lowlands. There is little reason to do this however, except for the added challenge.
