Questor Offer
So Medora wants the Dust of Restful Death. Only because I respect the memory of King Lysandus will I do this. The Dust can be found in [crypt's place] on her own island. Tell Medora that the price is her support of my claim to Tiber's heart. She'll know what it means.
Quest Log Entry
[the quest date]: Medora came to me in a vision and told me that Lysandus' ghost could be soothed if I can convince Gortwog, Warlord of the Orcs in Orsinium, to tell me where it is.
Message 1011
[the quest date]: I have spoken with Gortwog. He claims that the Dust of Restful Death can be found in [crypt's place] on the Isle of Balfiera. He also instructed me to tell Medora that she must support his claim to the heart of Tiber Septim, whatever that is.
Message 1015
Your vision hazes and the world grows dim. Out of the gray, a woman's face appears. Medora! "[your first name]. Your efforts to free me have not been in vain. I have discovered a powder that will soothe the ghost of my beloved Lysandus. However, it is in the hands of Gortwog, Warlord of the Orcs, in his steel citadel of Orsinium. Go to him in Orsinium and see if there is anything that can be done to persuade him to give it to you. Bring the powder to me in Direnni Tower once you have it." The vision clears. Sometimes you wish sorceresses would just send letters like other folks do.
Message 1016
A packet of midnight-black powder.

This parchment was used as a wrap for the packet of powder. Some of its message is now illegible. Lady Med... ...favor. They intend to slay him. I am sending ........ers to stop them. You must support me. If the empire finds I have attacked royal advisors of Wayr......ven if they are assassins, my people will never win the same status and respect as the Khaji................ians. However, with your support I c............. a hero of the empire, and win respect for my people. Gortwog Warl...
Message 1030
This is indeed the Dust of Restful Death. As for that letter, it was from Gortwog to me, though I never got it. I heard from him later that his orc warriors were slain attempting to ambush the assassins. Gortwog and his orcs are not the villains most people see them as. Eadwyre and the court of Wayrest have never been particularly loyal to the empire. To assassinate a king is treason. I will have my revenge, but first I must find out why Eadwyre would risk this. I will need a month to prepare the Dust. Come back to me at that time and I will give it to you, along with instructions for its use. -- Symbols used in the QRC file: -- -- [the quest date] occurs 2 times. -- [crypt's place] occurs 2 times.
