Detailed Walkthrough

You can start this quest by speaking with Vara-Zeen outside Silent Mire, or by speaking with Hooks-Fish near Tal'Deic Fortress.

"There is no hospitality here, stranger. Our village was attacked!"

Who attacked you?

"Khajiiti pirates! They're raiding our village—taking slaves and supplies. We couldn't stop them. They're merciless. Just a few of us made it to the gate.
It's not safe for my people here, but I won't leave without Leel-Vata."

Who is Leel-Vata?

"My mate and our spiritual leader. She was in the village when the pirates attacked.
I'm just an old saltrice farmer, outsider. I beg you! Find her and bring her back."

I'll find Leel-Vata.

Enter the village of Silent Mire, and find Leel-Vata in a house on the right. You will have to fight through Renrijra Maor when you are in Silent Mire. As you enter the hut, you see a shadow of Seeks-the-Night speaking to Leel-Vata.

"You are to blame for all this. You and your foolish mate."

"You will all pay for your disrespect! I will have my revenge!"

Speak to Leel-Vata inside the hut.

"Why, egg-brother? Why couldn't you be content to stay with us in this warm, fertile place?"

Who were you talking to?

"Oh, my head … I thought you were my egg-brother, Seeks-the-Night.
He led them to us. He hated that my mate was the village elder. He even gave the invaders our sacred relics. Such treachery in our own clutch!"

If your character is not an Argonian:

Perhaps I can help.

"You are not Saxhleel. Why would you help us? Still, I should not refuse such an offer.
The Khajiit stole our sacred stones and their sorceress took our Hist branch. We brought it all the way back from Black Marsh when we settled here."

I'll find your lost relics.

If your character is an Argonian:

I am Saxhleel, just as you are. Let me help.

"Your desire to help our people gladdens my heart. I wish my egg-brother had your spirit.
The Khajiit stole our sacred stones and their sorceress took the Hist branch we brought back from Black Marsh when we settled here."

I'll find your lost relics.

You must now find 6 Sacred Stones and the Hist Branch. The Sacred Stones can be found by killing Renrijra Maor in the area, but the Hist Branch must be found in a chest at one of their camps. Head to this camp near the eastern coast of the village, and you will find Sorceress Marra'var. You must defeat her in order to open the chest and get the Hist Branch. Kill her, and then open the nearby strongbox and take the Hist Branch. Once you've found the stones and branch, head to the north of the village and talk to Leel-Vata.

"Have you found our stones? And the branch?"

I recovered the relics.

"I'm glad my trust was well placed. To lose the Hist branch, that would have been too much tragedy for me.
Seeks-the-Night has caused me more than enough pain. How could he betray us to the pirate slavers? Is his heart really so full of hate?"

She will reward you with some leveled gold. You can now begin the next quest, The Saving of Silent Mire.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
