Morrowind:Garisa Llethri

Garisa Llethri is a Dark Elf warrior and a councilman for House Redoran who can be found in the private quarters in his manor in Ald'ruhn. He has interests in the Caldera Mine, and believes that there is corruption going on with House Hlaalu's control of the mine, which he will ask you to investigate. You'll also need to earn his support in order to be named the Redoran Hortator. There is a rumor going on that his wife is having an affair with the Archmaster of the House Redoran and that Garisa isn't able to do anything about it. He also has a son with some nocturnal aspirations.

Garisa wears a steel cuirass with matching greaves, pauldrons, and gauntlets and an extravagant skirt with matching belt and shoes. He also carries a dwarven claymore and 13 gold. Aside from his natural resistance to fire and the sanctuary provided by his ancestors, he knows no spells.

Dialogue
Garisa Llethri's default greeting depends on whether or not you have spoken to him before:
[If this is your first time speaking to Garisa.] "As a councilor of House Redoran, I am a very busy man. I hope this is important."
[Else.] "What can I do for you this time, outlander?"

Should you be expelled from House Redoran, Garisa's greeting changes accordingly:
[If this is the first time that you are expelled from House Redoran.] "You have been expelled from House Redoran. Make amends, %PCName, make amends."
[Else. Disposition -10.] "You have been expelled from House Redoran. Permanently. This better be important."

Quest-Related Events
Redoran Hortator
Garisa Llethri will only agree to give you his vote for Hortator of House Redoran if you are either a high-ranking member of the House yourself, or if you have already obtained Athyn Sarethi's support:
Redoran Hortator
"The Hortator is a war leader chosen by the councilors of a Great House. Why do you ask?"
Ask how a Hortator is chosen.
''"Only the Redoran councilors can choose a Hortator for House Redoran, and it must be unanimous. The Hortator's duty is defined by ancient custom, but, in essence, a Hortator is a House champion who must be skilled in combat and known for courage and honor."
Tell your story and ask to be confirmed as Hortator.
[If you are a Councilman in House Redoran.] "I don't believe your story. I will tell you honestly that it sounds like superstitious nonsense. However, despite what Berel Sala may say about you, I know that you have the best interests of House Redoran at heart. You are a fellow councilor and a friend of Athyn Sarethi. I will name you Hortator of House Redoran."
[If Athyn Sarethy agreed to give you his vote for Hortator.] "I spoke with Athyn Sarethi. I like what he told me about you. You get things done, and show good judgement. Your story is crazy. But your story doesn't matter to me, as long as you can do something about Dagoth Ur and his servants. I'm making you my choice for Hortator of House Redoran."
[If your rank in House Redoran is at least Kinsman but strictly lower than Councilman.] "How do you expect anyone to believe such a story? All this about prophecies and reincarnated heroes and Daedra Lords appearing in caves... And Berel Sala claims you are an Imperial spy. But enough talk. I judge a man by his actions. From what I've heard, you might make a good Hortator of House Redoran. I will speak with the other councilors, but that is all that I will promise."''
[If Garisa's dispotion towards you is at least 70.] ''"How do you expect anyone to believe such a story? All this about prophecies and reincarnated heroes and Daedra Lords appearing in caves... I've also heard that you are an Imperial spy. But enough talk. I judge a man by his actions, and I don't know much about yours. I will speak with the other councilors, but that is all that I will promise."
[Else.] "That's ridiculous. If you were my friend or someone important I might listen to your nonsense. But Berel Sala says you're just an Imperial spy and a pretender."''

In case Garisa initially refused to give you his vote for Hortator, you can return to him after earning Athyn Sarethi's support. Doing so nets you the same response as the one above. Note, however, that Garisa will never agree to support you if you kill a Redoran councilor:
Redoran Hortator
[If you killed Brara Morvayn.] "Hortator? You killed Brara Morvayn. It is said that you provoked her, that you acted like a beast. It is a great injustice that you are a free %PCRace and standing here before me. You will never be Hortator of House Redoran."
[If you killed a single Redoran councilor who is not Brara Morvayn.] "Hortator? You killed a councilor. It is said that you provoked him, that you practically forced him to defend his honor and his property. A Hortator does not threaten. A Hortator does not steal. A Hortator does not lie. You are no Hortator."
[If you killed two Redoran councilors, neither of whom is Brara Morvayn.] "Hortator? You murdered a councilor. Nice work for a hero. I will not name you Hortator. I will not name you anything."

Under normal circumstances, you may speak with Garisa again after he has agreed to give you his vote for Redoran Hortator. If you do so before all the other councilors have agreed to vote for you as well, he says:
''"I trust Athyn Sarethi's judgement. I will support you as the Redoran Hortator."
Redoran Hortator
"I agreed to make you Hortator, %PCName. Speak with the other councilors. Show them the truth in your heart, and they will agree."

If you speak with him after you have gained the support of every Redoran councilor, he says:
"Why are you here, Hortator? Take the battle to our enemies, the Sixth House and the Empire!"
Redoran Hortator
"So the council agrees? Then you're our Hortator. You should get the Ring of the Hortator from Athyn Sarethi. It's an enchanted ring worn by champions of the council. Now go forth to war, %PCName. Make House Redoran proud."

And finally, if you speak with him again after you have received the Ring of the Hortator from Athyn Sarethy, he says:
Redoran Hortator
"You have been named Hortator of House Redoran. Act honorably and make House Redoran proud."

Evidence of Corruption
Speak with Garisa to learn what it will take to earn his support to make you a Redoran Councilman:
"If you want my support to make you a Councilman, you will have to perform a great service for House Redoran. I believe the Caldera ebony mines should be shut down."
Caldera ebony mines
"First I want you to find evidence that there is corruption at the mines. Since the mines are run by the dishonorable House Hlaalu and the Empire, I am sure there is corruption. Do not take any other actions until you have delivered the evidence of corruption to me."
evidence of corruption
"Look for journals or record books. Interrogate the miners. I am sure there is corruption there, and I have faith that you will find it."

Return to Garisa after you have found solid proof to complete this quest:
Caldera ebony mines
"Ah, I see you found the evidence I was looking for."
Give him the record book.
[Disposition +10. Secret Caldera Ledger has been removed from your inventory.] "Good, yes, very good. This book shows that the Hlaalu are taking more ebony than they report to the Empire. Now that I have this evidence, I want the Caldera mines shut down. Return there and find a way to halt the mining. If the Hlaalu complain to the Duke or the Empire, we can show them these books to justify our actions."
Keep the record book.
"What use is it to you? If you're thinking of bringing it to a guard, they'd probably put you in jail rather than go against the Empire and House Hlaalu."

Shut the Mines Down
If you speak with Garisa after you have begun this quest but before you have actually found a way to shut down the Caldera ebony mines, he says:
Caldera ebony mines
"As I said, find a way to halt the mining. The Empire has taken enough of Red Mountain's blood. The ebony belongs to the Dunmer."
halt the mining
"I have faith that you will find a way to shut down the Caldera ebony mines."

Return to Garisa after you have disrupted the mining operation in Caldera to finish the quest and, depending on the solution that you chose, receive your reward:
Caldera ebony mines
[If you killed Odral Helvi and Stlennius Vibato. Disposition +10.] "Killing Odral Helvi and Stlennius Vibato will certainly shut down the ebony mines, but I wish you had chosen a more subtle route. There are political problems with... Well, with issues I am sure you do not need a lecture on. I will support you as a Councilman of House Redoran."
[If you killed Dahleena. Disposition +20. 1 pair of ebony boots has been added to your inventory.] "Yes, killing the head slave Dahleena will make the Hlaalu's mining more difficult. Good slaves are so hard to find these days... I expect the Hlaalu will not resume mining for at least a month. You have earned my support on the Council, and I want you to have these fine boots made from the blood of Red Mountain."
[If you freed Dahleena. Dispotiion +20. 1 pair of ebony boots has been added to your inventory.] "You have freed the head slave Dahleena? Interesting choice. Good slaves are so hard to find these days... I expect the Hlaalu will not resume mining for at least a month. You have earned my support on the Council, and I want you to keep these fine boots made from the blood of Red Mountain."

If you speak with Garisa after the completion of this quest, he says:
Caldera ebony mines
"You have my support, %PCName."
evidence of corruption
"Yes, you found the evidence I was looking for."
halt the mining
"The mines have been shut down, but I fear they will be operating again soon."''

Mages Guild Monopoly
Once you earned Athyn Sarethi's support in this matter, all you need to do in order to earn Garisa Llethri's support as well, is raise his dispoition sufficiently high:
appeal to fairness
[ If Disposition ≥ 40.] "You have shown that you understand us, %PCName, and I will support this resolution."
[Else.] "You appeal to fairness, but it is clear that you do not truly understand House Redoran. If you can convince me of your sincerity, I will consider your proposal."
