[edit] Vassir-Didanat Cave

Rather than beginning with a particular person, this quest actually begins at a location. You can find the Vassir-Didanat Cave to the south of Balmora, on the other side of the river. If you have done the Fighters Guild quest to eliminate the egg poachers from Shulk Egg Mine, you may have seen the bridge across the river just to the south of the eggmine.

Cross the bridge and keep going east, and you should see the cave on the hillside. The cave was actually a former ebony mine which has become lost after one of the miners apparently summoned a daedra that killed everybody inside the mine. Once you enter the cave you've essentially 'rediscovered' it and open up the dialogue option Vassir-Didanat Mine with three Hlaalu councilors. Of course, feel free to take any ebony that you like for a good amount of gold (they're 200 gold each) - though you will still be able to take it after the completion of the quest (no guards will appear in the mine), so you might rather want to leave if you are not strong enough to face the atronachs inside the mine.

[edit] Finder's Fee

The councillors whom you can reveal the mine's location to are: Nevena Ules (Ules Manor, near Suran), who will not give you anything; Velanda Omani (Omani Manor northeast of Vivec), who will offer you 2,000 gold and Dram Bero (Haunted Manor in Vivec, St. Olms Canton), who will offer you a choice between Daedric weapons: a katana, a bow, a staff, a wakizashi, a spear or a battleaxe; depending on the weapon skill you choose; If you go to Nevena Ules, the others will not give you anything, as they don't trust her.

[edit] Notes

• Lower level characters should be careful, as the cave may be home to an Atronach or two, plus rats which may or may not be diseased and/or blighted.
• All you have to do is enter and exit the cave...easy way to receive Daedric weapons early on.
• There are multiple lockpicks at the bottom of a small, round, table in St. Olms Haunted Manor which may be required to open the locked door to get to Dram Bero.
• If you go to Dram Bero (which you should) a good choice would be either the bow or the battle axe, due to the fact that these are very rare (as compared to the others, which can be found quite frequently).
• There is no direct journal entry for this, but entering the mine gives you the conversation topic.
