Catch a Spy

Catch a Spy is a Mages Guild quest available in .
==Objectives==
*Talk to Ranis Athrys in the Balmora Guild of Mages for duties.
*Travel to all the Mages Guilds and ask about spies.
*Acquire Tiram Gadar's credentials.
*Return to Ranis Athrys.
==Walkthrough==
Ranis Athrys in the Balmora Guild of Mages believes that the Guild has been infiltrated by a House Telvanni spy. The assignment is to visit the Guild halls in Ald'ruhn, Sadrith Mora, Vivec City in order to find the spy and report back to Ranis.
Via the Guild Guide, go to the Ald'ruhn Guild and speak with Edwinna Elbert. However she seems to have no idea about the spy.
Travel to Sadrith Mora Mages Guild, talk to Skink-in-Tree's-Shade. He does suspect there is a spy but suggests checking in the Vivec Mages Guild where the Guild decisions are actually made.
Head to Vivec and speak to Trebonius Artorius. He denies the existence of spies, saying that his advisor Tiram Gadar keeps an eye out for that sort of thing. However, inquire further and Trebonius gives Tiram's credentials which appear to be forged since the High Chancellor, Imperial Battlemage Ocato's name is misspelled.
Return to Ranis with the phony credentials.
===Alternative Walkthrough===
Same as above until reaching Trebonius. If Itermerel and Tashpi Ashibael are both still alive, a dialog option will appear to allow the Nerevarine to report that Ranis is the spy and Trebonius will have her arrested and removed from the guild. The rewards of this path are lower as Trebonius will not reward the Nerevarine with Soul Drinker and the two scrolls, and Ranis will no longer be available for barter or training.
===Shortcut===
With either the regular or alternative walkthroughs, it is not necessary to go to either Ald'ruhn or Sadrith Mora. Going straight to Vivec and talking to Trebonius is sufficient.
==Reward==
*1 Reputation point
*5 Mages Guild Faction points
===If the spy is turned into Ranis===
*2 x Scrolls of Summon Golden Saint
*Soul Drinker
