What? Belron Hlaalu is DEAD? This ruins the entire operation here in Narsis. Get out of my sight!

You were to deliver a letter, not murder the governor! You've put the entire caravan route in jeopardy. Don't expect any further work from this office.

You lost the letter? How could you be so careless? Here. A fresh copy. Do not lose this, %PCrank.

You certainly did so. I hope that wine is enjoyable. Not my favorite vintage, but it grows on you with time.

It's done? Ha! This is the start of some real prosperity, mark my words. Here; a little sum for your messenger work and a little something to toast our deal. I have another assignment for you once you've cleared your head.

I'm counting on you to deliver those letters. I assumed it was a simple task, yet you are apparently still here.

First, deliver this letter to Llaros Samalsi, the governor of Shipal-Sharai. It's a termination of our existing caravan contract. Then, meet with Belron Hlaalu of the Seventh Family here in Narsis, who promises a much steeper discount. He and his patrons will take over the caravan traffic that runs along the Purple Road from Narsis to Septim's Gate Pass. Give him this contract. Be polite and professional about it.

Do you understand what the Company is doing here in Narsis? We receive ebony, saltrice, and those odd Dwemer curios, and the Hlaalu receive civilization. Don't be fooled by the smiles on our hosts in the House. They've been wringing every septim out of Company trade for the last decade. A little cost-cutting is overdue. Thankfully, when the locals aren't plotting to pilfer from the Empire, they're plotting to pilfer from each other. That's where we come in.

Do you have the contracts I wrote? Rogatus dictated them to me himself. You'd best get going; he's not patient with delays.

A pleasure doing business with you. And my compliments to the Factor.

I accept. Please convey my respects to your Factor, and inform him my advisor will be over shortly to arrange caravan schedules.

Wonderful! However, you should break the unfortunate news to Llaros Samalsi first. There is a order to these things, friend.

I'm expecting a signed contract from the Company. Do you not have it with you?
