[edit] Detailed Walkthrough
[edit] Overview
You have just officially become the Nerevarine and must be acknowledged as the war leader by the four Ashlander tribes (Ahemmusa, Zainab, Urshilaku, and Erabenimsun) and the three Great Houses (Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni.) The first step is to become Hortator to the three Great Houses and complete the Fourth Trial, starting with House Redoran (though the actual order of the houses is unimportant). There are two main differences when doing this, and that is whether you previously became a member of the house or not.
[edit] Sarethi Manor
Pay a visit to Athyn Sarethi in the Sarethi Manor in Ald'ruhn (Manor District.) If you are a member of House Redoran, Athyn should tell you that all but one council member will support you as Hortator, Bolvyn Venim. If you're not a member, you'll have to persuade him significantly in order to get him to speak with you. Even then, Athyn will ask you a favour first: to rescue his son Varvur Sarethi from the Venim Manor (first manor on the right in the Manor District.) You must be careful when rescuing him not to kill the councilman Bolvyn as the other council members will turn against you.
[edit] Rescuing Varvur Sarethi
To find Varvur, find the Right Wing of the Venim Manor. In the large room, on a bench, you should find a 'Note to Malsa Ules' and a key. The note says that the guest is in the room behind the tapestry. You'll find the door and tapestry nearby, and the key on the note opens that door (50 level lock). Remember the nearby guards won't like it if you take the key or note. Once you find Varvur, escort him back to the Sarethi manor and his father. Note that any guards that see him will attack, so planning the fastest route ahead of time might help. You are free to kill the guards, but again be careful not to kill Bolvyn. Once you return Athyn's son, he will give you his vote to be named Redoran Hortator and says that the other council members will concur, except for one.
If you don't mind killing, an easier rescue method is to kill everyone in the house before you rescue Varvur. However, this may be reported as a crime.
[edit] Visit Redoran Councillors
From this point, the quest is the same whether you are a Redoran member or not. You must visit and talk to all the Redoran councillors (see the Red Book of 3E 426 for a complete list, which you can get from Athyn.) They all are in Ald'ruhn in their respective manors: Miner Arobar, Garisa Llethri, Brara Morvayn, and Hlaren Ramoran. Talk to each one about the Redoran Hortator and to get their vote. If you are following the Red Book of 3E 426, you will eventurally visit Morvayn Manor in east Ald'ruhn. In the locked door (level 70) in this manor you will find the dead body of Remas Morvayn who died defending the Morvayn Manor from Corprus monsters. By his death Brara Morvayn took his seat in the Redoran Council and you will have to visit her to get the Redoran vote.
[edit] Bolvyn Venim
The one exception is, of course, Bolvyn Venim, who won't agree with you no matter what. The only option is to have a duel to the death with him to get him out of the way. If you just kill him outright, the other council members will not like you anymore. Talking with him reveals he wishes to duel you in the Vivec Arena, but he offers a fight only after you already got the backup of all the other councillors. 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 armoured (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. If you've gone far in the Telvanni Quests, Aryon's Helper (enchanted right glove) will make short work of Bolvyn.
[edit] Return to Sarethi
Once Bolvyn is out of the way, return to Athyn Sarethi to be named the Redoran Hortator and receive the Ring of the Hortator to identify yourself as such. You also receive a note from the Archcanon saying that should you be named Nerevarine and Hortator of the four tribes and three houses, to present yourself to the Archcanon Saryoni in the High Fane of Vivec. Hold onto this note as you'll need it later.
[edit] Notes
- If you decide to kill Venim for your House Redoran advancement and your Hortator status (at the same time, being eligible for both), Sarethi will assume you are Hortator before you actually are; He'll "confirm" you as Hortator on asking him about Advancement if all the councillors agree, but you must bring up the Redoran Hortator topic again to gain the Ring of The Hortator and the proper conclusion.
- If you are already the Redoran Archmaster, talk to Athyn Sarethi about Redoran Hortator and he will automatically proclaim you the Redoran Hortator.

| Index | Journal Entry |
|---|---|
| 50 | I have been named Hortator of House Redoran by Redoran's councilors. When I have been declared Hortator of all three Houses, Redoran, Hlaalu, and Telvanni, I will have fulfilled the Fourth Trial of the Seven Visions of Seven Trials of the Incarnate. |

Athyn Sarethi has agreed to name me Hortator of House Redoran. He says he will use his influence to persuade the other councilors to support me, but that Bolvyn Venim will never support an outlander as Hortator of House Redoran. If I have the support of the rest of the Redoran Council, perhaps Venim will agree to an honorable duel. |

|---|---|
| 10 | I have murdered Bolvyn Venim. The murder of a Redoran councilor is a serious crime and offense to honor. Now I can expect little cooperation or sympathy from House Redoran. |
| 20 | I asked Bolvyn Venim to name me Hortator. He was indignant, and refused to hear my story or consider my proof. He was quite clear... he will never consent to my being chosen as Hortator of House Redoran. |
| 30 | Bolvyn Venim has challenged me to a duel at the Arena in Vivec. |
| 50 |
I killed Bolvyn Venim in a duel. It is unfortunate, but there was no alternative. I should speak with Athyn Sarethi again to be named Hortator. |
