Detailed Walkthrough


Falco Galenus
Speak to Falco about your next assignment to recover some Ebony Ore that has gone missing. He suspects that Uryn Maren is involved and has heard that the Ore may be inside a chest in his house. He even gives you a key to Maren's house.

Uryn Maren's House
The house is right next to Falco and you have the key so entry is relatively easy (it is a 100 level lock if you want the challenge). The house is small and doesn't contain much. The chest is in the bedroom and is again locked (100 level). Unlock it to find out that it is actually empty.

Return to Falco with the lack of evidence and he will suggest that you follow Uryn into the mine and see if you can catch him stealing Ebony Ore.

Following Uryn
The mine entrance is just North of Falco so head that way and get your sneaking skill or Invisibility spell ready. You won't encounter anyone immediately inside the Mine, but you'll find Uryn shortly inside off to the right. I assume that if Uryn spots you at this point, the quest might be ruined, so use caution and stay as far away as from him as you can. As soon as you approach Uryn he should take off deeper into the mine.

Follow him and after the sharp turn to the left you should notice that he begins to sneak. Follow him into a storage room util you receive a journal entry. At this point you can stop sneaking and confront Uryn. He will admit to stealing the Ore but claim that Carnius told him to.

Return to Falco
Return with the information to Falco who says that he suspected as much but needed confirmation that Carnius was involved. He suggests that you pay a visit to Carnius to see what he has to say for himself. Speak with Carnius about Uryn and he'll deny everything of course.

Return to Falco again who will inform you that Uryn was just found dead, assumably murdered although there is evidence of the fact. You are rewarded with 500 gold.

Continue on with the Bar Fight portion of the colony quest or return to the Bloodmoon Quests page.
