[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

General Darius at Madach Tradehouse in Gnisis will ask you to retrieve a land deed from the Widow Vabdas, whose husband died in the Gnisis Eggmine. The General wants the land she owns for a new dock and tells you not to take 'no' for an answer. Check around town to learn that the Widow Vabdas lives in a hut west of town. Talk to Vabdas about the deed which she'll refuse to give you. She says that her husband was murdered by a legionnaire when he went to the closed mine and she wants you to find out what happened.

Though you could just kill her or steal the deed, you get a better disposition boost with Darius by checking out her claim. Head for the mine on the east side of town on the hill and speak to the guard to get a key (since you're in the Legion he will let you in, or just persuade him). The first area of the mine doesn't have much to it, though you'll find an aggressive Orc (Lugrub gro-Ogdum) in the Lower area (just leave the area quick enough and he won't attack.) (Note: In this area, you'll see the Kwama Queen. Be careful not to kill her, she'll need to be alive for the next Darius quest!) Explore the lower mines until you find the ghost of Vabdas' husband in the underground stream. The ghost will tell you that the Orc Lugrub killed him to hide the fact that he was sleeping on the job when Vabdas entered. As evidence, he directs you to the broken axe (Lugrub's Axe) at the bottom of the pool nearby.

Return to Darius with the evidence of the murder who will tell you to go kill Lugrub. Do so and report back to Darius who will reward you with an Imperial Broadsword. If you talk to Darius about the deed afterwards, it will turn out that the Legion has started a donation fund for the widow (which you can contribute to if you want).

Alternatively, you can pick the level 40 lock on a chest on your right (go in sneak mode) as you enter the house to receive the land deed. Darius will accept it, and the same reward is produced.

[edit] Notes

Do not start the Talos Cult Conspiracy quest before completing this quest! Because you're required to give proof in both instances, if you do them in the wrong order, Darius keeps asking for proof of the cult's conspiracy against the Emperor.
