Detailed Walkthrough

A week after Grurn's defeat, Caecalia Victrix in Old Ebonheart will want to rebuild Fort Firemoth and Sulfurwatch Keep. Once you have reached the rank of Knight Bachelor, she will order you to speak to Batshubzub gra-Muztub the foreman in charge of restoring Fort Firemoth. At this point shipmaster Garon Thiralas will appear at the Fort Ancylis docks to take you to the island.

Lay Their Fears to Rest

Batshubzub gra-Muztub will tell you she has been unable to attract workers for the project because they are afraid the place might still be haunted. She figures having a priest of Arkay around should resolve the issue and asks you to find one. At this point Saccius Bastis will suggest you talk to the Imperial Cult and Caecalia Victrix will direct you to Strixus Sorvilius at the Grand Chapel of Talos.

Any member of the Imperial Cult of at least Invoker rank will help you provided you have at least 50 disposition. Convince someone, then report your success to Batshubzub or Caecalia to continue the quest.

Debt Trap

Three days after telling Batshubzub or Caecalia you found a priest, the Lord General will have more orders for you. She wants another progress report from Batshubzub, but this time she also wants to know if the Imperial Navy is ready to move into Sulfurwatch Keep once the work continues.

Money Troubles

Commodore Kventus Lucilius at Fort Ancylis will tell you his men are not ready to make the move. The Navy has been critically underfunded and he needs another 30,000 gold to make ends meet. Kventus will mention private banks and Caecalia will tell you to head to the Briricca bank in town.

Phedre Briricca can be convinced to supply the money, in exchange for a 10% share in the Saros Mine. If you are at least a Commodore in the East Navy, you will be able to agree to this yourself. Otherwise, you will have to explain the deal to Kventus and then convey his agreement back to Phedre.

Alternatively, if you have the money yourself, you can simply hand it to Kventus. This will increase your disposition with both him and the Lord General. You will also receive an additional 5 faction reputation when reporting back to her.

Dangers in the Rubble

Over at Fort Firemoth work has stalled because the workers have dug up a magical skull that shoots lightning. Activating the skull will cause it to explode, solving the issue.

Report

After resolving both Kventus Lucilius' and Batshubzub gra-Muztub's issues, report back to Caecalia Victrix to gain 5-10 faction reputation. She will tell you to return in a week's time while construction continues.

The Council

A week later, Caecalia will tell you to convince the Great Houses to drop their claims on Saros Mine. Vvardenfell's Grand Council has been obstructing progress and Duke Vedam Dren has not been able to stop them. Travel to Ebonheart and help the Duke settle the issue by convincing at least one of the Houses to support you.

House Hlaalu

If you are Grandmaster of House Hlaalu, you can simply tell the Duke the House will support the Empire. If not, you need to convince Relen Hlaalu by either finding Vassir-Didanat Ebony Mine or by killing Orvas Dren.

House Redoran

As Archmaster of House Redoran, you can decide to support the Empire by yourself. Otherwise, Llerar Mandas can be convinced by either shutting down the Caldera ebony mine or by killing Bolvyn Venim.

House Telvanni

You can resolve the issue by declaring your support for the Empire as Archmagister. Alternatively, Galas Drenim can be persuaded to support you by bringing her the Skirt of Swift Steps from Basan-Dur or by killing Gothren.

Galas will reward you with a Grand Soul Gem filled with the soul of a Golden Saint if you decide to bring her the skirt after resolving matters with the Duke.

Back to the Duke

After you have convinced at least one of the Houses to support you, you can return to Duke Vedam Dren to continue the quest and gain 5 faction reputation. If you convinced two of the Houses, you will gain an additional 2 faction reputation as well as 1 point of reputation. Convincing all three nets you a total of 10 faction reputation and 2 general reputation.

Completion

Five days after settling matters with the Duke, the reconstruction work will finish and you will be able to return to Caecalia Victrix to end the quest. The Lord Commander will thank you for your efforts and appoint you to the post of Commandant, putting you in charge of the restored Fort Firemoth. At this point you will gain a point of reputation and another 5 faction reputation. Also, if she has the Ward of Akavir she will hand it to you.

Notes

• It takes a week for all undead to disappear after Grurn's defeat. This quest can only be started afterwards.
• Kventus Lucilius and Duke Vedam Dren must be alive to start this quest.
• If you rescued J'Hanir before, completing this quest will allow you to order him to follow you.
