Perhaps I am in desperate need for guidance. Talk, and I will listen.

Demonstrate the strength of your faith to me.

Then I call you brother, and you have my respect. You have shown me the strength of your faith by besting me in single combat, so I will listen to your council. The priest did say I was in desperate need for guidance, but I do not take it from the weak.

Good. Now I will listen to your words. But you have not yet proven the strength of your faith to me, so I will not hear your council.

Then go seek your wisdom. I will be here, should you find it.

Then strike the first blow. But strike true, if you want to live.

So be it. May Vivec choose his favored servant by battle.

You presume to judge the strength of my faith, yet you could not even hold your own against me? You are unworthy, and I will end your pathetic existence.

So, what say you?

I shall tell you my tale, and of my devotion to Vivec, %PCRace. And then you may judge me, if you are strong of faith and arm.

Then go with Vivec's blessing, %PCRace.

Let us talk, indeed! I shall tell you my tale, and once you have heard me out, then you may judge this troublesome Orc.

You insult me, and my faith! With Vivec's blessing I shall smite you down!

I only bring trouble to those with ill intentions! I have made it my duty to protect this shrine and the pilgrims visiting it. But not everyone seems willing to believe me.

I see you have spoken with Garash. He means well, and I think his devotion to Vivec is true. But he knows nothing about the Temple and our people, and truly has a desperate need for guidance from someone he respects. He would not listen to me, but perhaps he will listen to you.

I think Garash is at the bridge across the Pryai, west of town.

Master Andolin sent you, then? Good. We do indeed have some Orc-related troubles, but perhaps not in the way that you would expect. Garash has been nothing but helpful since he first showed up here. He has been patrolling the roads, and seeing to the safety of pilgrims and travelers alike, without asking for anything in return. No, it is not his presence here that is troubling me. It's his rather... eccentric expression of devotion to Vivec that's cause for concern.

You heard the Master, %PCRank. This is his Temple, and I cannot comment on your mission.

What's done is done. Let's not dwell on it.

Devious. Goes to show that Orcs truly do not have a place in the Tribunal Temple. Present company excluded, I suppose. Now, I have more duties for you, if you are willing.

Devious. Goes to show that Orcs truly do not have a place in the Tribunal Temple. Now, I have more duties for you, if you are willing.

And so the natural order is restored. Good work, %PCRank. It is good to know I can count on you to properly execute your duties.

I asked you to return him to Malacath, not this. Still, I suppose he will probably not bother us again. As for you, I will have to think on your further duties.

I expressly told you to get rid of the Orc, not to encourage him. At least he's off to Vvardenfell, he is someone else's problem now. I will have to think deeply on your further duties.

What? That's the opposite of what I told you to do. You disappoint me, %PCRank. I thought you were capable of fulfilling simple duties. Clearly I was mistaken. If he shows up here, you and Ravur Othravel are responsible for him. I'll have nothing to do with his education.

Great. Mockery of our Lord Vivec cannot be tolerated. Well done, %PCRank. Let me know if you are willing to do more duties for our Temple.

Why are you still here then? It's simple, %PCRank. Go to Bodrum, find Golvyn, and get rid of this Orc.

Have you taken care of this Orc in Bodrum?

Have you taken care of this Orc in Bodrum?

Golvyn Saryon, the local priest, sent word about some trouble with some Orc. Apparently it has painted its face in mockery of Vivec, and it is said to accost the pilgrims on the roads around Bodrum. Go there, find Golvyn, and deal with his Orc. Convince it to go back to the mountains and to return to its worship of Malacath as its nature demands. Or get rid of it entirely. It's all the same to me.

So someone painted their face to resemble Vivec, and Nalvs has a problem with that? I swear, that man is so out of touch. Pfft.

I'm sure Garash is thankful for everything you have done for him, serjo %PCName.

Once we get those books for Barbarians, we will be able to give Garash a real education.

I've been thinking about how to best go about Garash' education. Say, would you mind helping me acquire some books for Barbarians?

I am sorry to hear that you did not give the Orc a chance.

Garash seems really nice. I've been teaching him about our Temple, and so far he seems really receptive to everything. You made a good decision, inviting him here!

Let's hope he finds his way to a proper understanding of the Tribunal's glory.

You killed him? Did you truly think it was impossible for his faith to be genuine? I guess we'll never know now.

I'm glad to hear you gave the Orc a chance. Let's hope he finds a true understanding of the Tribunal.

You dismissed him? Did you truly think it was impossible for his faith to be genuine? I guess we'll never know now.

I hope you found that book useful, muthsera. Good luck with your mission!

I overheard Nalvs Andolin and serjo Galdar discussing the matter earlier. Apparently, this Orc claims to be emulating Lord Vivec. Serjo Galdar said that stranger things have happened, and that the possibility of this Orc being a genuine believer should not be dismissed out of hand, but Nalvs would have none of it. Serjo Galdar wouldn't contradict Nalvs when I asked him about it, but he did give me this book to read. Maybe it will be of some use to you, muthsera.

Not me, friend. I'm not looking for trouble.

I've heard of an Orc hanging around the Shrine to the Battle of Bodrum on the western bridge across the Pryai.
