Seyda Neen
Alignment: Imperial
Region: Bitter Coast
Transport: Almsivi Intervention: Balmora/Vivec (split) Divine Intervention: Pelagiad Silt Strider: Balmora Gnisis Suran Vivec
Services: Tavern Trader

Seyda Neen is a small Imperial owned port town in the Bitter Coast region, bordering the Ascadian Isles. Its population is made up of a few commoners and several guards as well as a few rogue travelers who frequent it from time to time. The town also houses two unique buildings, found nowhere else on Vvardenfell: the lighthouse Grand Pharos at the harbor mouth, a beacon to mariners throughout the Inner Sea, and the Census and Excise Office, where most visitors are processed. Though no boats offer travel, Imperial cutters use the dock as a restocking point to control smuggling and pirate ships running the waters off the Bitter Coast. Silt Striders provide convenient travel as far north as Gnisis.

[edit] Census & Excise Office and Warehouse

Socucius Ergalla is the chief agent in the Imperial Census and Excise Offices. In addition to helping you to select your character's class and sign, Socucius will provide you with your Release Papers and training, if you can spare the coin. In case can you solve the case of the missing taxman, Socucius will reward you, but like you no better for it. There is a bed roll that no one minds you using, if you need a safe resting spot.

In case you manage to steal the key to the Warehouse from a shelf in the second building, you can boost your gold quite a bit. The Warehouse is located across the street and holds armor, weapons, sundries and valuable illegal goods. Training is offered by Adraria Vandacia upstairs in the Warehouse.

[edit] Arrille's Tradehouse

The Tradehouse is the location of the sole merchant, Arrille. He offers a selection of weapons, armor, spells, potions and scrolls. The licensed tavern upstairs functions as a social hub for Seyda Neen. Raflod the Braggart offers training and Hrisskar Flat-Foot has an early opportunity for you to make money. Behind the counter, Elone will give you her detailed directions to Balmora and offers training, but only to members of the Blades.

[edit] Notable Figures

Giving Fargoth his ring will boost the disposition of Arrille, thus fetching you better prices. Look for Socucius Ergalla in the Census & Excise Office for Official matters.

[edit] Getting there & around

The clipper you came in on was a one-way ticket to Vvardenfell, there are no boats offering passage here. (If you have the Firemoth plug-in, a boat appears to transport you to the island and back, but it is gone after you complete the quest.) Transportation from Seyda Neen to other locations on the island is handled by Darvame Hleran, located at the Silt Strider on the northeastern edge of town. A good road east of town leads to Pelagiad, Balmora and Ebonheart into the Ascadian Isles. A trail northwest leads into the swamps of the Bitter Coast and Hla Oad.

[edit] Notes

• A way to make money and train your skills at the same time is Pearl Diving.

• By the Lighthouse, if you jump on top of a tree stump, you will see an Iron Shardaxe inside. Another stump close to the walkway holds a Silver Cup and some gold.
• Upstairs in the Tradehouse behind a locked door (40) is a bedroom, with an Imperial Newtscale Cuirass under the bed and a Steel Dagger of Swiftblade underneath the pillow.
