[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Pemenie needs an escort

Find the trader Pemenie on the road northwest of Caldera on the way to Ald'ruhn (map). She will ask you to escort her to Gnaar Mok in return for the Boots of Blinding Speed.

[edit] Your reward has a Flaw

Agree to do so and escort her to Gnaar Mok to the west. Once you cross the bridge into town, you will be rewarded with the boots. The boots Fortify Speed by 200 points but also have a 100% Blind spell on them, meaning you'll be fast, but have no idea where you're going unless you navigate using the minimap in the corner of your screen.

[edit] Wearing the Boots

• The trick to using the boots is to use a Resist Magicka spell or item. If you have 50% Resist Magicka, you'll only be 50% blind, meaning that things will be a bit darker. The Cuirass of the Savior's Hide works well, adding a constant effect 60% resistance to magic. You can also easily counteract the effects simply by creating a spell or enchanted item of Resist Magicka 100% (again, if you are a Breton this only needs to be 50%) for 1-2 seconds. Cast it and then immediately put on the boots, and the blindness is completely avoided. Only annoying thing is you have to cast this spell every time you put on the boots, which can be a hassle because they break easily and need frequent repairs.
• An alternate strategy to avoid the blinding effect is to put on the Ring of Azura, Illkurok, or another item that provides a permanent Night Eye enchantment.

[edit] Notes

• You can find out from people in Caldera or Gnaar Mok that Pemenie is a wanted felon with a bounty on her head. If you talk to her repeatedly about bounty, she will eventually stop following you. If you continue talking about her bounty she will attack you. If you kill her then you will be able to get the Boots of Blinding Speed regardless of whether you took her to Gnaar Mok or not.

• If you have the Tribunal expansion, you can donate the boots to the Museum of Artifacts in Mournhold to help you with a quest.

Index	Journal Entry
10	I met Pemenie, a Redguard trader, while traveling west of Balmora. She would like help getting a shipment of goods to Gnaar Mok. Seems her escort abandoned her on the trip.
20	I've agreed to escort Pemenie to Gnaar Mok in exchange for some enchanted boots she currently has in her inventory.
30	I've decided not to escort Pemenie to Gnaar Mok. Something about her seems a bit off, and I have no idea what these "Boots of Blinding Speed" actually are.
40	I've been told by some locals that the trader Pemenie has a bounty on her head, and should not be trusted.
50	When questioned about having a bounty on her head, Pemenie told me that it simply wasn't true, and was probably a case of mistaken identity. She sounded insincere at best.
60	Pemenie has become increasingly agitated when asked about the bounty. I fear there is more to this "honest trader" than meets the eye.
70	Pemenie became so enraged when I asked her again about the bounty that she declined to follow me any further. That woman is clearly not the simple trader she claims to be.
90	Pemenie and I have arrived in Gnaar Mok.
100	I was able to escort Pemenie safely to Gnaar Mok, and in exchange, she gave me the Boots of Blinding Speed. I have not yet worn them, but they may be powerful indeed.
110	While escorting her to Gnaar Mok, Pemenie met an unfortunate end. Well, unfortunate for her, anyway.
