I can't believe he would tell Rumus -- even Victrix -- and not me. It would've been great compensation for what he put me through.

Ask anyone who knew me. I never owned such property in Nibenay.

I'm sorry, but this deed must be fake. The signature is mine, but I've never seen this paper before in my life. Neither have I known any Pontius Vunnis. The daedra must have left it amongst my papers, or someone planted it there afterwards.

What's this about land in Nibenay? There must be some mistake. I've never owned land in the Imperial Province.

You've been expelled. We have nothing to discuss until you make amends and join the Imperial Legion again.

I had completely forgotten about it until Rumus' return. It seemed innocent enough at the time -- Casik was simply building his wealth to align with his station.

I remember Casik telling me he'd bought land near the source of the Morath River. He didn't seem too happy to be a landowner, though.

We've already given you the land deed.

We've already given you the land deed.

We've already given you the land deed.

We do have some of Casik's personal papers, but I don't remember seeing any deeds. I'll cast a wider net -- wait here while I search our archives. [They leave and return sometime later with a worn scroll.] Here you are. As I suspected, the deed was not among Casik's possessions. It was recovered from the wreck of the TEM General Symmachus and stored separately.

Keep the deed. It's probably a fake.

Since Casik insisted the deed wasn't his, he won't be able to take it back to Cyrodiil. It's probably fake, anyways.

Vunnis was a key player in Tharn's patronage network. I wonder if this deed was payment for Casik's treachery. A Nibenay manor would've been a sweet escape plan from the chaos he sowed in Morrowind.

Interesting... very interesting. The seller listed here, Pontius Vunnis, was one of many doppelganger agents exposed after the Simulacrum. It seems that our Casik was just another of Tharn's daedric pawns. The real Casik might've been innocent all along -- whatever that's worth to him now. Still, you've conducted yourself admirably, %PCRank. The Lord General would like to reward you with these. May you always march with tenacity in defense of this great Empire.

I'll wait.

Thank you for finding the deed. Would you mind handing it over?

You found it? Let me take a look. Interesting... very interesting. This deed might be exactly what we've been looking for. The seller listed here, Pontius Vunnis, was one of many doppelganger agents exposed after the Simulacrum. Any connection to him is highly suspicious. I think it's time you talked with Casik himself. Between Rumus Stannicus' testimony and this deed, we finally have plenty to ask him about. Take these keys and visit him in the dungeons. His cell is the first one on the left.

I hope Ocato is satisfied with whatever we find.

Casik may be dead, but there's one more thing to take care of before we can wash our hands of him. Both Rumus and the Lord General recall that Casik bought property in Nibenay during his reign. Cyrodiil City, however, couldn't find any such records. The Imperial Treasury seized Casik's assets after his imprisonment -- it's possible some papers are still in the Ebon Tower. Go to the central offices of the Imperial Commission, ask Parandil or another Treasury official to locate the deed, and bring it to me.

Rumus has since recalled that Casik acquired such property during his reign. This sparked the Lord General's memory, and she corroborated his testimony. However, officials in Cyrodiil found nothing. They did inform us that the Imperial Treasury seized Casik's assets and papers after his imprisonment -- it's possible some documents are still in the Ebon Tower. Go to the central offices of the Imperial Commission, ask Parandil or another Treasury official to locate the deed, and bring it to me.
