Muckraking Journalist

Tienius Delitian has asked me to find the anonymous writer of 'The Common Tongue' and persuade him to stop printing such lies about King Helseth. Delitian thinks I may have better luck if I approach less-reputable citizens -- persons who place profit above honor. Apparently Delitian doesn't care HOW I take care of it, as long as it is taken care of in private. When I'm sure this anonymous writer will never print lies about King Helseth again, I'm to report back to Delitian.

Someone suggested, if I am looking for an anonymous writer, that I should talk to someone who deals in writing -- books and scrolls, for example. Perhaps a person with a shady reputation -- like a pawnbroker.

'Ten-Tongues' Weerhat says the guy who writes 'The Common Tongue' is named Trels Varis. He says he does not know Trels Varis personally, but he says the first place he heard about Trels Varis was in the Craftsmen's Hall.

I'm told there's no one named Trels Varis in the Craftsmen's Hall. But the way it's being said, I am almost certain that Trels Varis is here somewhere, but that no one is going to admit it.

I found Trels Varis. But now he is going to kill me to preserve the secret of his hidden office.

I found Trels Varis. He wishes to keep his hidden office a secret, and threatened to kill me, but instead he decided to let me go. Since the location of his office is no longer a secret, he plans to relocate immediately. He warned me not to touch anything or interfere with him or his colleagues, or he will kill me.

Trels Varis gave me his word that he would not discuss King Helseth in 'The Common Tongue'. In return, I gave him 3000 gold to contribute to the Widows and Orphans Fund. Now that the secret of the hidden office is spoiled, Trels Varis plans to relocate immediately. I should report to Tienius Delitian.

After I threatened his aged parents, Trels Varis gave me his word that he would not discuss King Helseth in 'The Common Tongue'. Now that the secret of the hidden office is spoiled, Trels Varis plans to relocate immediately. I should report to Tienius Delitian.

I have killed Trels Varis. That will certainly stop him from printing lies about King Helseth. I should report to Tienius Delitian.

I have killed Trels Varis.

'Ten-Tongues' Weerhat says the guy who writes 'The Common Tongue' is named Trels Varis. And I have killed Trels Varis. That should certainly stop him from printing lies about King Helseth. I should report to Tienius Delitian.

I reported to Tienius Delitian that Trels Varis had given me his word that he would not discuss King Helseth in 'The Common Tongue'. He gave me 3000 gold to cover my expenses, and an additional 5000 gold as a reward.

I reported to Tienius Delitian that Trels Varis had given me his word that he would not discuss King Helseth in 'The Common Tongue'. Tienius Delitian was very pleased with my service. He gave me 3000 gold to cover my expenses and a 'King's Oath' blade -- exactly like those used by the Royal Guard. Only those sworn to the king's service and tested by great trials may use them. They bear deadly curses that kill thieves and traitors.

I reported to Tienius Delitian that Trels Varis was dead, and that he could no longer print lies about King Helseth. Tienius Delitian was pleased with my service, and gave me 5000 gold as a reward.

Gee-Pop Varis says his son, Trels Varis, is a scholar in a private Temple school in Kragenmoor, out west near Cyrodiil.

Granny Varis says she has no idea where Trels Varis is right now, but Gee-Pop Varis says his son, Trels Varis, is a scholar in a private Temple school in Kragenmoor. It doesn't make sense that the father knows but the mother doesn't. I mentioned this peculiarity to Gee-Pop Varis, and he said Granny is getting old and forgetful. But I suspect they are not telling me the truth.

Granny Varis says she has a son named Trels Varis, but she hasn't seen him recently and has no idea where he is right now.

But I suspect they are not telling me the truth.

I suspect Granny and Gee-Pop Varis are not telling me the truth about their son, Trels Varis. But it gives me an idea. If I threaten to hurt Granny and Gee-Pop, it may persuade Trels Varis to stop printing lies about King Helseth in 'The Common Tongue'.
