Stranded Shipment

Merlador, the Altmer clothier in Llothanis, has told me that a shipment of cloth and supplies he was expecting to receive from Old Ebonheart has gone missing. The cloth was being carried on a ship called the Elfmaid, which was set to call in Tel Ouada and then Llothanis. It failed to arrive in Tel Ouada; I should try to locate this shipment. Merlador directed me to speak with Dunveri Rodran in Tel Ouada.

Dunveri Rodran says that ships often sink while passing between the northern Telvannis Peninsula and Althoa Island, and that I should search for the wreck of the Elfmaid around there. He also suggested that it might have docked at Bal Oyra to make repairs.

The captain of the Elfmaid was displeased that Merlador no longer requires their services. She refused to hand over the cargo unless I helped solve her problem. Since Nidril Tadare is dead, she is no longer willing to discuss the shipment at all.

The captain of the Elfmaid is displeased that Merlador no longer requires their services. She refuses to hand over the cargo unless I help solve her problem. A local Dunmer named Nidril Tadare had been making repairs to the Elfmaid, but recently stopped work. I need to convince him to finish the job. Nidril is in his house in Bal Oyra.

Nidril Tadare feels he is being paid too little for his work. He wants to receive more before he resumes his work.

Nidril Tadare was angered by my failed attempt at tool repair. His price to resume work is now higher.

I paid Nidril Tadare enough to convince him to resume work.

I mended Nidril Tadare's tools. He was satisfied with the result and has agreed to resume work.

Leile Guiscard is now willing to hand over Merlador's shipment. It is being watched over by Asint, in the Elfmaid's hold.

I have recovered the shipment of goods bound for Merlador.

I have handed the shipment over to Merlador. He has paid me 125 gold pieces for my trouble.

I have handed the shipment over to Merlador. He has agreed to make me an extravagant set of clothes as a reward. I should return and get them the day after tomorrow.
