Thank you, %PCRace. Now I can rest.

And what has the Tribunal Temple done to stop it? Nothing. They have turned away from their ancestors and care only for their so-called living gods. I pray for their ruin and a return to the ways of old. Tell my story and let the Dunmer know of their ancestors' displeasure.

Thank you, %PCRace. You have done as I asked. As promised, I will finish my story. In life, I was a leader of our people. In death, I was honored with a position at the forefront of the catacombs. But the leaders of the Hlaalu disrespect their own legacy. In their haste and arrogance, they have damaged our sacred resting places. They treat our remains as mere garbage to be disposed of.

I will tell you my story once you have enshrined my skull in the lost burial.

You will speak for me? Thank you, Speaker. I will rest. But first, let me finish my story. In life, I was a leader of our people. In death, I was honored with a position at the forefront of the catacombs. But the leaders of the Hlaalu disrespect their own legacy. In their haste and arrogance, they have damaged our sacred resting places. They treat our remains as mere garbage to be disposed of.

I thank you, %PCRace. Take my skull into the catacombs, past the depths and the thresher's lair. Continue until you reach the lost burial. Place my skull in a place of prominence within that chamber and I will finish my story.

Perhaps I could share my story, but first you must do something for me. Do you see what has happened here? These sewers were built directly above my and my fellow spirits' sacred resting places, and their construction damaged the catacombs. Our remains sink in a tide of sewage. Pick up my skull from the ground and take it far away from here. Then I shall tell you who is responsible.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Yes, the article is done. Here, take a copy.

Your investigation was invaluable. I'm still working on the article, though.

There is nothing to report, thanks to you.

Interesting. Let me get this down. It makes sense that the ancestors wouldn't be too happy with all these foreigners around. Yes, this will make for a great article in the Canyon Echo. Come back in a day and I'll share a copy with you. Oh, and here are some drakes for your trouble.

I see. Well, it's true that some parts of the catacombs are in dire shape. But the Hlaalu and Temple angle... is a harder sell. No matter. I've worked with worse material. The article will be ready by tomorrow. If you come by, I'll share a copy with you. Oh, and take this for your trouble.

You banished the ghost? Why would you do that? Well, I hope you don't expect a reward.

You managed to talk with the spirit? That's great news, %PCClass. What did it have to say about the disturbance in the sewers?

The spirit was reported to be wandering around the haunted drainway. Find out what you can, but be careful down there.

Let me know if you change your mind.

Wonderful! I need you to find a way to convince the spirit to share its story. I'm sure it holds the key to what's going on in the sewers.

Have you changed your mind about investigating the passive spirit in the haunted drainway?

I recently got a tip from some sewer workers that a passive spirit has been found wandering the haunted drainway in the Foreign Quarter sewers. All the other spirits down there are extremely aggressive, so I'm looking for someone to investigate the matter. Will you help?
