Recover Naliara's notes. Zone: Summerset Quest Giver: Mehdze or Naliara Location(s): King's Haven Pass Reward: Average Leveled Gold XP Gain: Standard

Some say Goblins originated in Summerset, and some say the High Elves brought them here to serve as menials and slaves. They no longer perform those functions, but freed or escaped, Goblin tribes still thrive in the island's loneliest corners.

Mehdze the Maestro is on an exploratory journey into King's Haven Pass to research his next epic. Unfortunately, things aren't going according to plan.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak with either Naliara or Mehdze inside King's Haven Pass.
2. Recover the notes.
3. Talk to Naliara inside Coral-Splitter Caves.
4. Escort Mehdze through the caves to the ruins.
5. Find clues and recommend a course of action.
6. (Choice) Tell him to be bold and tell the truth to the world or lie.

Detailed Walkthrough

Upon entering King's Haven Pass, speak with either Naliara (west end of the valley) or Mehdze (east end of the valley). Naliara will ask you to help her recover some notes, related to an epic recital being composed by the clueless Mehdze about battles between Altmer and Goblins, notes which were stolen by Goblins. Mehdza, on the other hand, will say that the Goblins carried Naliara off, along with the notes, and he needs them both back. In either case, your task is to collect the notes.

There are Welwa and Reef Vipers in the valley, as well as Coral-Splitter Archer and Runecaster Goblins. Continuing the search inside the Coral-Splitter Caves (which entrance you choose does not matter), you'll have to contend with Coral-Splitter Butcher, Wildling, and Bewitcher Goblins as well. Once the notes are collected, Naliara will abandon Mehdze, and he will subsequently ask you to complete the escort mission in her place. After agreeing, you'll head to some Ancient Ruins further inside the caves.

Entering the Ancient Ruins, you'll have to fight off Skein Spiders to find three clues as to the history between the Altmer and the Goblins. Afterward, talk to Mehdze to help him determine what to do with the information you found.

Notes

• Naliara's notes won't exist in the delve before starting the quest.
• If you start the quest with Mehdze, he claims Naliara was captured by the goblins. However, if she is found on her start of the quest, she appears fine and undisturbed by goblins. It's unclear if Mehdze is overexaggerating in this case.
  • Most likely he is. He does like to ham it up.
• The stone inscription clues in the ruins lack the typical glow of readable notes.

Bugs

• During the objective to look for clues in the ruins, only one quest marker appears on the local map, and when highlighted, the objective "Help Mehdze Find Clues" is duplicated three times. ^?

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.
