Bravil Recommendation

Bravil Recommendation is a quest in . As part of Join the Mages Guild, the Hero must get a recommendation from each city's Mages Guild Hall. Kud-Ei will say that Varon Vamori stole a mage's staff, and it must be retrieved.
==Walkthrough==
This quest involves Persuasion. Scrolls of Beguile are given to help if the Hero's Speechcraft is too low.
===Mages Guild===
Find the thief Varon Vamori, and persuade him to return the staff he stole. When he has been persuaded (~70 disposition), he will reveal that he sold the staff to Soris Arenim in the Imperial City. Upon discovering this, the Hero must report it to Kud-Ei, who tells them to go fetch it.
===Imperial City===
Find Soris Arenim in the Imperial City – he lives with his wife in the Talos Plaza District. Persuade him to around 70, and he will sell the staff for 200 , but won't consider anything less. After getting the staff, the Hero can pickpocket their gold back if they choose to.
===Alternate option===
As he won't just hand it over, if the Hero of Kvatch doesn't want to pay him, there's another option available. Have a chat with his wife, Erissare Arenim. Get her disposition up, and she'll say that he has the staff stowed away in some locked drawers in the basement. The key can be found in a desk upstairs. Wait until they've gone to bed, then pay another surreptitious visit and liberate the staff.
Take the staff back to Kud-Ei who'll happily provide the recommendation and will also teach the captivate spell. Coincidentally, the staff set to be recovered is enchanted to Charm.

*Quest complete
==Trivia==
*If the Thieves Guild has been joined before beginning the quest, Varon Valmori will already have near-full or full disposition.
*The Hero can also sneak downstairs on their own and pick the lock (Hard), and steal the staff.
*Another option is to pickpocket the key off of Soris Arenim which will open the basement door, allowing the Hero to take the staff.
==Bugs==
*It is possible to accidentally receive the quest "Through a Nightmare, Darkly" due to a dialogue prompt saying that Kud-Ei has a problem. This may potentially prevent her from displaying her Recommendation dialogue, preventing the Hero of Kvatch from joining the guild.
:*To solve this, the hero must complete "Through a Nightmare, Darkly." Sometimes, Kud-Ei's dialogue still won't allow you to speak of the recommendation. Waiting 24 hours should fix this.
