Detailed Walkthrough

Trouble in the Summerset Isle

At the Red Dragon Club, you are told of recent events in the Summerset Isle. The abduction of the daughter of the King of Shimmerene, and her subsequent gruesome murder, have scared Morgiah, the Dunmer Queen of Firsthold, who has a daughter of similar age. She's decided to spend some time in Morrowind, where her brother Helseth can protect them. You have been asked to escort them through Cyrodiil.

Atrene Camp

You meet them in Atrene Camp, outside Anvil. Morgiah tells you that they want to avoid cities, where assassins may be lying in wait, and they don't want to use caves or mines, or even isolated houses, as stopping places. Those would have limited exits in emergencies. So they'll be moving from one campsite to another, and you won't be told which is next until you set off. That won't happen until you stay overnight, and the same pattern will hold for each other camp that you visit.

Brotch Camp

Brotch Camp is normally occupied by one or two bandits, and you may be lucky enough to have a dog or two replacing the bandits. However, this is one of the locations used by the "Repairing the Orrery" DLC to add an extra bandit, so don't do that quest at the same time.

Lakeside Camp

Lakeside camp has been added for this quest, and the only adversary here is a Slaughterfish in the lake. You won't encounter that unless you decide to go swimming. However, you'll probably have to kill it before you can sleep.

Two-Decker Camp

There are usually two bandits at this unmarked campsite on the trail between Dragon Claw Rock and Gnoll Mountain. Pala, one of the Bear Riders, patrols past here and may have cleared them before you arrive, or may join the battle if your timing is right. For the purposes of this quest, the usual bandits are replaced by a pair of Khajiit, and the male is essential, so he can only be knocked unconscious. When this happens, he should stay down. After the female is killed, Morgiah will ask you to tell Rinalla that the male was kept alive so that she could try something new.

The Khajiit is moved to the bedroll in the large tent, and Rinnala goes to join him. The tent flap is closed to hide the action, and a minute later, she's had an experience like no other she's had before.

Walker Camp

Walker Camp is occupied by a pair of Commona Tong operatives. Their main reason for being there is smuggling skooma into Morrowind, but they'll smuggle people as well, using the same obscure route.

The Black Queen's Escort (GS84)
Stage Finishes Quest Journal Entry
10 I've been asked to go to the Anvil area, and escort Queen Morgiah of Firsthold across Cyrodiil. She's going to Morrowind to take refuge with her brother Helseth from the troubles in the Summerset Isle. I am to meet her and her daughter Rinnala at Atrene Camp.
20 I've arrived at the camp and met the Queen and Princess. They're traveling incognito, so I'm supposed to call them by other names, but I'm not sure I'll remember them. We'll stay the night here, and Morgiah will tell me where we're going in the morning.
30 Our destination for today is Brotch Camp.
40 We arrived at Brotch Camp. I guess I won't know where we're headed next until Morgiah tells me.
50 Our next destination is Lakeside Camp, north-east of Chorrol. Hopefully we won't find any bandits there.
60 We arrived at Lakeside Camp. We'll stay her tonight and set out in the morning for the next one. As usual, I won't know where until we wake.
70 Now we're headed for Two Decker Camp north of Bruma.
80 We arrived at Two-decker camp and we'll sleep here tonight. I imagine tomorrow's destination will be the last before Morrowind.
90 We're off to find Walker Camp outside Cheydinhal. Morgiah has arranged her passage into Morrowind from there.
100 We arrived at Walker Camp. It's occupied, but not by bandits. Are these the people Morgiah was expecting?
110 0Yes My job is done, and the Dunmer can take her across the border. They're not the choice of guides I'd have made, but I suppose Morgiah knows what she's doing.
