[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Duties

Once you've reached the rank of Lawman, Athyn Sarethi in his manor in Ald'ruhn will ask you to rescue his son, Varvur, who has been accused of murder and is being held in Venim Manor. You must be careful when rescuing him not to kill the councilman Bolvyn Venim as the other council members will turn against you (for the Main Quest).

[edit] Rescuing Varvur

Varvur is in the Right Wing of 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 (level 50 lock). Remember, the nearby guards won't like it if you take the key or the note. Once you find Varvur, escort him back to the Sarethi manor and his father. 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. The guards are easily distinguished by their Dwemer Armor. There are ten of them to avoid:

Private Quarters: - Bevadar Bels, Idros Givyn, Nathyne Uvelas, and Nidryne Redas
Guard Quarters: - Novor Gorvas and Tereri Irethi
Right Wing: - Malsa Ules and Tidras Deltis
Entrance: - Velsa Orethi and Vevul Alver

Report back to Sarethi with his son to complete the quest. He will reward you with a promotion to the next rank.

[edit] Notes

This quest is also part of the Main Quest, during your attempt to become Hortator of House Redoran. In the event that you have done the main quest first, you will be immediately sent on the next quest.

Escaping with Varvur can be made much easier by using a good Chameleon spell. The guards will attack neither you nor Varvur. The Amulet of Shadows works well for escaping without being noticed.
