Mirri Elendis will receive a letter from her father about her mother Irenni's disappearance. The only lead is a mention of an angry letter from Mirtulivon. When you enter the guild hall, Mirri will hang back and asks you to talk to him because he may be more willing to divulge:

"Do I know you? I don't believe I do."
Did you meet with Irenni Elendis recently?
"Hah, I don't see how that's any of your affair, but if you must know I did cross paths with that unscrupulous Dark Elf and I'm worse for it.
What's your interest in Irenni? I suppose she cheated you as well."
She cheated you?
"She came to me seeking information and—given our longstanding association—I entrusted her with it on the assurance that she would do me a simple favor in return.
Instead she ran off and played me for a fool. No one makes a fool of me."
I really need to find Irenni.
"And I really need the antique ink pot she promised to procure.
I'll tell you what I told Irenni, but only after my ink pot is returned to me and not a moment sooner. I'll not have my good faith taken advantage of again."
All right, you have a deal.
"My inkwell is currently in the possession of a banker here in Stormhaven [sic], the result of an ill-advised card game. They seem to enjoy lording their victory over me, so they refuse to part with it at any price.
I want it returned. I don't care how."

You can ask questions about the inkwell and how he lost it:

Why is this inkwell worth so much trouble to you?
"It's one of a kind! The first work of the current Sapiarch of Shape and Form when they were still a student! Irreplaceable.
I never thought an Argonian would beat me at the cards, but the banker has more of a head for numbers than I expected."
If it was so important to you, why did you wager it?
"I didn't! I just got so thoroughly thrashed at the table that I needed to offer collateral. Under-Root must have known what a singular treasure it is. Now that she has it in her greedy claws, she'll never let it go. Willingly anyway."

Head over to Under-Root Bank and steal the Antique Inkwell from the second floor. You can then bring it back to Mirtulivon:

"Dare I ask? Is the deed done? Is my little treasure to be returned to me at last?"
Here's your inkwell. Is it really that valuable?
"Do you have any idea how rare it is for a creation this ugly to survive on Summerset, let alone one made by the premier authority on sculpture? I even had the original assignment's written grade: barely-satisfactory! It's priceless."
Right. So tell me about your meeting with Irenni Elendis.
"At least Irenni had an appreciation for rarities. I sent her to meet another antiquity hunter I deal with who made a discovery in Stonefalls that Irenni would be interested in. Too interested."
Who did you send her to meet?
"Edvilda Stone-Stalker. She was probing my interest in Dwemer relics. I've no interest in it, but I knew Irenni has an unhealthy interest in them. She was camped near Steamfont last I heard.
That's all I can tell you, so our business is concluded."

Speaking to him afterwards, he will dismiss you:

"As pleased as I am by the return of my antique, I do believe that our business was successfully concluded.
I have no further use for you, so toddle off to Steamfont and leave me to my business."
