Kurhu

Malmas Habattu, the leader of the brigands at Kurhu, offered me a grand soul gem if I kill Sorus Davor, a caravaner staying at Lucky Shalaasa's Caravanserai in Arvud.

I agreed to kill Sorus Dalvor for Malmas Habattu. I've been instructed to bring back Sorus' flask as proof of his death.

I refused Malmas Habattu's "trifling matter".

I agreed to let Sorus Dalvor flee to Cyrodiil, and took his flask for Malmas Habattu as "proof" of his death.

As promised, Malmas Habattu gave me a grand soul gem for handling the situation with Sorus Dalvor.

Ethalvora asked me to acquire a package from Kurhu, a cave deep in the Armun Ashlands, southwest of Arvud. I am to bring a payment of 500 gold to Malmas Habattu, and he will give me a bundle of items he's "acquired" in exchange.

I picked up the package from Kurhu. It turned out to be a bundle of items of magical value: an enchanted dagger, some frost salts, two greater soul gems, and a strange enchanted helm.

I delivered the package from Kurhu to Ethalvora. She allowed me to keep most of the items, only taking the strange artifact for herself.
