[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

[edit] Tienius Delitian

Speak with Tienius Delitian in the Royal Palace Throne Room upstairs from the Royal Palace Reception area. He'll ask you to help find out the recent rumors about the death of King Llethan. You are to gain their trust, as he puts it, and see what they speak about (you may need as high as a 100 disposition in order to find out).

[edit] Find Some Rumors

Talk to people about Mournhold about King Llethan's Death. Among a number of things you'll hear one related to King Helseth poisoning the former King. You should receive a journal entry telling you to report back to Tienius.

[edit] Return to Tienius Delitian

Returning to Tienius, he takes the information you have about the possible poisoning and wants more info. In particular, he wants you to find a copy of the The Common Tongue, a publication that recently has been circulating critical articles about the new King.

[edit] The Common Tongue

There are several copies of The Common Tongue, but you can find one lying on the ground next to a merchant stall in the Great Bazaar, just northwest from the exit from the Plaza.

An issue of The Common Tongue

[edit] Tienius Again

Return the paper to Tienius who will thank you and ask you for further assistance.

[edit] Notes

If you try to talk to him before you have finished the Hunt the Dark Brotherhood quest, Tienieus will just laugh at you.
It appears that you can skip all these quests with Tienius and merely speak with Fedris Hler in the Temple. If you do this, however, you will not be able to ever complete the quest in this series. ^(?)
The new King is pretty nonchalant about killing the opposition and using poison in particular. See A Game at Dinner for an interesting story.

1	Tienius Delitian, Helseth's Captain of the Guards, wants to know the source of rumors about King Llethan's death. I will have to speak to people, and earn their trust, then see how they speak about King Llethan's death.
50	Someone told me of reading in a broadside sheet called "The Common Tongue" that Helseth poisoned many people in the West. The suggestion seems to be that Helseth has poisoned Athyn Llethan. I should report this to Tienius Delitian.
100	I told Tienius Delitian that a possible source of rumors about King Llethan's death was a broadside sheet called "The Common Tongue".
110	I gave Tienius Delitian a copy of "The Common Tongue", a possible source of rumors about King Llethan's death. Tienius Delitian seemed pleased with my work. He will mention my loyal services and exceptional qualities to King Helseth, and he says he might find further employment for me.

1	Ravani Llethan, King Llethan's widow, told me she read in a broadside sheet called 'The Common Tongue' that Helseth poisoned many people in the West. From this the suggestion is that Helseth has poisoned her husband, Athyn Llethan.
