Marsus Tullius' Missing Hides

Marsus Tullius tells me that he has been robbed by a couple of Ashlanders, and they've stolen the guar hides he was carrying to Tel Aruhn.

Tullius says that if I am able to recover the hides for him, his father in Tel Aruhn will reward me handsomely.

I've agreed to help Marsus Tullius recover his stolen guar hides. Tullius could give my no information on his attackers, other than that they were Ashlanders. It will probably be best to check the nearby Ashlander camps for any clues.

I've decided against trying to track down the Ashlanders who robbed Marsus Tullius.

I've spoken to members of the Zainab Ashlander tribe. They seem to have no knowledge of the guar hide theft.

I've spoken to members of the Urshilaku Ashlander camp, and they seem to have no knowledge of the guar hide theft.

I've spoken to members of the Ahemmusa Ashlander camp, and they seem to have no knowledge of the guar hide theft.

I spoke to members of the Erabenimsun Ashlander camp, and they tell me that two of their tribe, Tinti and Hairan, do have the hides. However, they tell me that both of them are honorable warriors, and would not have taken the hides without good reason. They suggest I speak to those two directly, if I have the courage.

Tinti and Hairan tell me that the guar hides that Marsus Tullius had in his possession were taken from the Erabenimsun Tribal Herds. They question his right to call them thieves, when all the have done is reclaim what is their own, in their eyes.

Because the Ashlanders have accepted me as one of their own, Tinti and Hairan are willing to give me the hides to return, in the name of friendship.

Tinti and Hairan have told me that the hides are theirs by tribal right, and they will die before giving them back to the Imperial trader.

I've refused to take the hides from Tinti and Hairan. The hides do seem to belong to the Erabenimsun, and should stay with the tribe. They seem pleased with my decision, and have given me a Herder's Belt as a token of our friendship.

I've accepted the hides from Tinti and Hairan, along with their blessing to return the hides to Tullius, with the understanding that he will never approach the Tribal Herds again.

Tullius has his hides back, and I've told him the Ashlanders' conditions for their return. He swears to stay away from Erabenimsun lands in the future. He is pleased to have the hides back, and told me I should visit his father, Stentus Tellius, in Tel Aruhn for my reward.

I've returned the hides to Tullius, and he seems pleased to have them back. He tells me I should visit his father, Stentus Tullius, in Tel Aruhn for my reward.

I've told Tullius of my decision not to accept the hides from the Ashlanders. He genuinely seemed surprised that the herds belonged to the Erabenimsun people, and was only dismayed that he would have to find more hides to replace them. Unfortunately, his father financed this trade excursion, and without the hides, he has no money with which to reward me.

I've spoken with Tullius' father, and he's rewarded me for helping his son.
