I believe that is our business concluded. Farewell.

We have finished our business. But now you have three questions.

Thank you for the payment, sera. As agreed, here are my wares. Tell your employer I am bound for Roa Dyr once I conclude my business here. And now you have three questions. Let us start: have I been receiving my regular payments?

I was told to expect payment.

Whither the demons of Veloth?

Here's a deal for you. My friend on the board of directors tells me if I can pull some strings and get her daughter a nice job here in Morrowind, she can pull some strings and get my nephew a nice job in Valenwood, and his mother will forgive me for forgetting her birthday. So I tell lovely Zenette yes, let's do it. Then my sister dies in the Cyrodiil City riots anyway, and it turns out young Zenurie is more interested in her makeup than her make-work. A good deal? No. Even Vendiccis are fallible.

Bartering with hackle-lo? So they're going native downstairs. Great.

The biggest deal I ever closed was back in Wayrest. A friend, the Queen, had taken the crown a few years prior, but she needed a bit of help keeping it. Long story short, I wound up with some very nice Second Era jewelry, and Elysana stayed a queen.

Yes, I'm closing a deal with the Hlaalu as we speak. Final stages. It'll be great.

Before the Empire came, the Velothi underclasses of Resdayn didn't much use currency. Instead, they relied almost entirely on barter for goods, and for the most part, they still do. And as it is not in the Emperor's interests to unduly disrupt the Dunmer economy, it is not in our interests. Thus, we integrate. That's all there is to it.

Get re-hired first. Then we'll talk.

I wasn't as interested in Mamaea's wares as in her answers to those questions. The first two shed some light on Marki the Shark's activities. The one about saltrice was just strategic: I was curious whether Hlaalu saltrice had started to impact the Indoril markets. Not yet, it'd seem.

It's time for me to tell you about Marki the Shark.

Thank you, %PCName. Here's something for a job well done, and you can keep the ring; I wasn't as interested in the cargo as in her answers to those questions. It's time for me to tell you about Marki the Shark.

Pay Mamaea Banapli, ask her my three questions, and bring us the wares. Identify yourself with the phrase "Demons of Veloth". She's expecting 40 drakes, 10 hackle-lo leaves, and a dozen small kwama eggs.

Mamaea Banapli has agreed to sell us 5 Mage's Eye scrolls and a magical ring for 40 drakes, 10 hackle-lo leaves, and a dozen eggs. Identify yourself with the phrase "Demons of Veloth". Pay her and bring us the goods. I also want you to ask her three questions. Has she received her regular payments? Have any issues come up since the last one? And have the rates on saltrice changed lately? Take a boat to Almas Thirr; she'll be on the southwestern docks. You have enough for the fare there and back.
