[edit] Sharn gra-Muzgob

Caius says that Hasphat's notes have covered the Sixth House, but there wasn't anything about the Nerevarine Cult. Just like we did before, we are to go to Sharn gra-Muzgob and run an errand so she can tell us more about the Nerevarine Cult. Sharn can be found in the Balmora Mages Guild, south of the Fighters Guild. She is the Orc on the lower level to the left. Talk to her, and she will tell you that she wants you to go on a little errand before she'll give you the information. You need to retrieve the Skull of Llevule Andrano from the Andrano Ancestral Tomb.

[edit] Andrano Ancestral Tomb

Sharn gives directions to the tomb (which do appear in your journal this time), and it can be found just south of Pelagiad, or north-east of Seyda Neen. She is also kind enough to give you a magic weapon and a few scrolls to help you out. The tomb is just a little way up the path from Seyda Neen, so take the Silt Strider or walk as it suits your taste.

The easiest way to get to the Andrano Ancestral Tomb is by traveling to Pelagiad, and walking from there. Since Pelagiad doesn't have a silt strider, you will have to walk there. The tomb itself is south of Pelagiad, just before you reach the fork in the road that goes south-east towards Vivec, and south-west towards Seyda Neen.

Once you arrive at the tomb, there is only one main path to follow, so just hop over the dead guy at the entrance, and keep going through doors blasting away at the usual grave goons (bonewalkers, skeletal archers, and ancestral ghosts). The undead cannot be hurt by normal weapons. Thankfully, Sharn gra-Muzgob gives you a magical weapon to help you. If you go off the main path, you'll only find more bad guys. Eventually, you'll come to a small doorway off a downward slope, open it to find the skull of Llevule Andrano next to an enchanted chitin dagger called the Dagger of Judgement. There is also a chest with a few goodies inside and a 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 15 book atop a nearby shelf. When you've finished plundering the poor dead guy's grave, grab the skull and hike back to Balmora.

Talk to Sharn about the errand, and she'll take the skull. Ask her about the Nerevarine Cult, and she will give you the notes to take to Caius. You also receive one reputation point.

[edit] Return to Caius

When you give Caius the notes, he will promote you to a Blades Apprentice and suggests that you take some time to train before coming back to him. Be sure to talk to him about your new rank for a few more free scrolls.

[edit] Notes

If you poke around the Mages Guild in Sharn's belongings, you will discover a copy of a necromancy book called Sharn's Legions of the Dead in a chest next to her with a level 25 lock. If you confront her about this you can get her to teach you either a Summon Ancestral Ghost or Summon Skeletal Minion spell.

The notes provide useful background information and are worth reading before you give them to Caius

[edit] Bugs

Some people have reported that Sharn often disappears for unknown reasons, so you will want to get the notes from Sharn as soon as possible, or avoid visiting the Balmora Mages Guild until you have completed this quest. This is a confirmed bug and can be usually corrected by opening the console and entering the command: RA. See Sharn gra-Muzgob's page for more detailed information about this bug.

Index	Journal Entry
1	The Spymaster told me to get Sharn gra-Muzgob at the Balmora Mages Guild to tell me about the Nerevarine, and then report back to him. I'll have to do a little "errand" for her first, he says. I'm beginning to see a pattern here. Rather than pay informants with hard cash, Caius Cosades trades favors for information. And as the new recruit in the organization, I provide the favors. Ah, well. A lesson in humility.
10	Sharn gra-Muzgob will provide the information on the Nerevarine that the Spymaster wants after I've done a little errand for her. She wants me to retrieve the skull of Llevule Andrano from Andrano Ancestral Tomb. She mentioned Dunmer prejudices against necromancy, and warned me not to upset the natives.
12	Sharn gra-Muzgob says that Andrano Ancestral Tomb is south of Pelagiad, just off the road, just before the fork where the road goes southwest towards Seyda Neen and southeast to Vivec. She gave me an enchanted blade and some scrolls, because she says some spirits are immune to normal weapons.
15	I delivered the skull Sharn gra-Muzgob asked for, and she's agreed to tell me about the Nerevarine as the Spymaster requested.
20	Sharn gra-Muzgob told me about the Nerevarine cult, and gave me some notes to give the Spymaster. Now I should return and report, and give him these notes.
25	The Spymaster seemed happy with the notes I gave him on the Nerevarine from Sharn gra-Muzgob. Caius says he'd like to see me at a higher level of conditioning before he sends me out again. So I should take some time to polish my skills and enhance my cover story with a little freelance adventuring. Then, when I'm ready, I'll return, and Caius will have new orders for me. [When you reach Level 3 or higher, return to Caius for more orders.]
30	The Spymaster seemed happy with the notes I gave him on the Nerevarine from Sharn gra-Muzgob. He said he'd like some time to think how the information fits in with the Emperor's plans for me. So if I want, I have some time to do a little freelance adventuring. But whenever I'm ready, Caius says he'll have new orders for me.
55	The Spymaster promoted me to Apprentice Rank in the Blades. He seems pleased with me, because he also gave me a little present.
