## Detailed Walkthrough

### A Trip to Falkreath

Taminwe tells you she wants you to back to Falkreath, this time to meet with an agent of the Orcish intelligence service. Her cover is that she's collecting her bear from Meija, who has been training one for the Bear Riders in the Wrothgarian Mountains.

### Orcish Bear Rider

The contact turns out to be the daughter of Gortwog himself. Her mother, Marghak, is Gortwog's consort, rather than wife, as she's a witch, and head of the Orcish Guild of Prostitutes to boot! Although she wouldn't make an acceptable Queen, Gortwog wouldn't have anyone else.

Uzgash gra-Marghak has learned magic and other skills from her mother, and fighting and intrigue from her father, so she's a formidable presence. She dresses like a Bear Rider, too.

### Helm of Tiber Septim

She asks if you found the Helm of Tiber Septim when you retrieved the armor for Martin. Since you didn't, it's most likely still in Sance Tor. The Orc adventurers that Gortwog has sent out to collect loot from Tamriel's dungeons have reported finding less magical items recently, and finding dead Altmers in some of the locations. They suspect these elves have been sent out to look for enchanted items by someone. Because they're all strangers, the suspicion is that they came direct from Summerset Isle.

When you go back to Sancre Tor, you'll find a skeletal Blade wandering in the catacombs, wearing the helm. Kill it, and take the helm and the katana it's using.The Cruel Blade is an unenchanted one of higher than usual base damage.

Take the helm to Ocato at the Palace. You won't be able to use the helm. Just like the Amulet of Kings, it will unequip if you try to put it on. Ocato will have Evette, the young daughter of Evangeline Beanique, install it on a pedestal in the Royal Antechamber, and protect it with a lethal trap. You get to follow her all the way up the tower to the floor above the battlemages quarters.

## Notes

- I invented Marghak for a Daggerfall mod. This quest is consistent with the addition to the lore.
- The extra Blade that found the Helm is presumed to have travelled to Sancre Tor after the quartet that you defeated to reach the armor, probably much later.
- You'll find a dead Altmer Battlemage in the room with the undead Blade.
- For the duration of the visit to the Royal Antechamber to place the helm on the pedestal, the player is temporarily added to the IC Palace faction (i.e not trespassing). This is reversed after you leave the building.

Notes

- 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 random order.
- If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
- On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering `setstage quest stage`. Where `quest` is the internal name of the quest, and `stage` is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
