[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Duties

Trebonius Artorius in the Vivec Mages Guild will only give you this quest if you have solved the Mystery of the Dwarves and finished the Main Quest. The request is strange, but simple, requiring you to merely kill all of the Telvanni councilors (since you've done the Main Quest you should know where all of them are). Be warned since killing Master Aryon will prevent you from becoming Arch Magister of House Telvanni.

[edit] The Telvanni Councilors

The councilors in brief are:

Master Aryon in Tel Vos (Upper Chamber)
Mistress Dratha in the Upper Tower in Tel Mora
Mistress Therana in the Upper Tower of Tel Branora
Master Neloth in Tel Naga (Sadrith Mora)
Arch-Magister Gothren in the Upper Tower of Tel Aruhn (probably already dead)

Of course these are all powerful mages and many of them well guarded, so it's not an easy task, but one that you're probably up to at this point.

If you complete his request and return to Trebonius, he will reward you with his staff and the Necromancer's Amulet.

[edit] Notes

You could save yourself the trouble and just kill Trebonius instead, still receiving the same reward. Since he has no further quests for you, there is no downside to doing this – provided you get him to attack you first by using a Frenzy spell or taunting him. (Otherwise you could end up kicked out of the guild for attacking a fellow member.) This may be the preferred method for those who choose to join both the Mages Guild and House Telvanni.
If you choose to become Arch-Mage of the Mages Guild by challenging Trebonius for his title, you can kill him legally without taunts, in the nice and open space of the Arena, and take all his belongings.
You do not have to kill Baladas Demnevanni for this quest, even if you are a member of House Telvanni and have convinced him to join the council.
There is a minor bug associated with this quest, in that there are two IDs, MG_KillTelvanni and MG_Telvanni. The one that's actually used for the quest is MG_KillTelvanni, but in Trebonius' greeting, there is a check for MG_Telvanni. (The quest name is also different: "Kill All Telvanni Councilors".) It only appears if the quest stage is ≥10 and <100, a condition which will never occur, because no script ever increases the stage for this quest ID.
