[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Duties

Athyn Sarethi in his manor in Ald'ruhn will tell you Archmaster Bolvyn Venim will never allow an outlander to become Archmaster of House Redoran and that the only way to win the leadership of the House is to challenge Bolvyn Venim to a duel.

[edit] The Duel

Go to Venim Manor and talk to Bolvyn Venim to challenge him to a duel. He will greet you by challenging you to duel to the death in the Vivec Arena. Take a Guild Guide or Silt Strider over to Vivec, and enter the Arena to find Bolvyn. He is a tough opponent if you attack him one-on-one as he is heavily armored (ebony) and has a Daedric Dai-katana. Of course, he has no ranged weapons or spells so feel free to take him out from a distance if your honor won't be ruined. Healing potions and scrolls are helpful of course.

Once Bolvyn is dead, you automatically become the new Archmaster. You may take what you want of his possessions, but some Redorans consider this dishonorable.

[edit] Notes

If you have already killed Bolvyn Venim during the Redoran Hortator quest, Sarethi will name you Archmaster automatically.
There is a bug in the quests that causes you not to get a journal entry when Sarethi tells you about the duel. This is not important, as the quest can still be completed. If you want to get the journal entry, type the following console command:

Journal HR_Archmaster 10
