==Walkthrough==
Upon completing "Contract: Kvatch," you will find a note from Astara Caerellius on the table opposite from Elam Drals. It will tell you to come speak to Astara about a situation that is developing in Kvatch.
In the central room, you will see find Astara in a discussion with Kor and Hildegard. Speak with her and and she will tell you that the Grand Sermonizer in Kvatch has been preaching against the Dark Brotherhood, stating that the organization is weak and deserving of mockery. Your job is to prove this false and assassinate the Grand Sermonizer. 
You will be joined by Tanek on this mission. Head to Kvatch and speak with him there; he will be near the city's entrance. He will tell you to go and kill the Grand Sermonizer's priests while he finds out where she is hiding. These priests can be found around town; kill three of them and Tanek will come tell you where to find the Grand Sermonizer. She is in her family's estate outside the walls of Kvatch. You can head there directly, or you can choose to kill two more priests to send the dark brotherhood's message home. 
You will find the At-Himah Family Estate southwest of Kvatch. Head there and fight your way through the Order of the Hour. Once inside, follow Tanek to the balcony, where you can spy on Grand Sermonizer Fithia's conversation with someone called The Black Dragon. Fithia has been torturing a dark brotherhood member for the location of the sanctuary, but the member died before revealing information so Fithia wants to have another member captured. After this conversation is over, follow Tanek into the interrogation hall where he will investigate the body of Cimbar. The body is enchanted with some foul magic however, incapacitating Cimbar as members of the Order of the Hour come in to attack. Once you have killed them, Kor will show up and tell you to go after the Grand Sermonizer while he figures out how to get Tanek home. 
Proceed into the Grand Sermonizer's Study and through her escape tunnel. You will have to sneak past or fight through several Order agents before you reach the Grand Sermonizer, but eventually you will find her in the big room at the other end of the tunnel. She will have several Order members protecting her; you can fight them in waves or you can immediately engage with the Grand Sermonizer and fight them all at once. Either way, once the grand sermonizer is dead, leave the tunnel and return to the Sanctuary.
Once you are back, speak with Astara and tell her what happened. She will tell you that Tanek asked to see you. He will be in a bed in the northernmost room; speak with him to finish the quest.
