[TITLE]TES4 Vvardenfell Telvanni Quest-line[/TITLE]
Summary:
The Telvanni have great advantages and great disadvantages. Their advantages are that they have skilled warriors, powerful wizards, and a great leader. However, their disunity, as well as their lack of a solid economy and production makes them weak. The Telvanni are split between two groups. They can be referred to as the Traditional Isolationists and the Aggressive Progressives. While the traditionalists want to keep things the same, keep their slaves, maintain their secrecy, and isolate themselves from the outside world, the progressive generation, led by Aryon, wants to sieze control of lands, expand their influence, and free their slaves, and conscript them as workers and mercenaries. Aryon has five main agendas. He wishes to solidify Telvanni economy by having a mutual trade between Telvanni and Redoran - both in need of secure trade partners; Hlaalu are too manipulative, and too wealthy to be trusted since they have more leverage in deals and can force their way more easily than the Redoran and Telvanni who need a stable economy. Secondly, Aryon wants to make alliances with the Ashlanders, he has already become friends of the Zainab and hope to ally with the Erabenimsun. Thirdly, he wants to unite the Telvanni and quell the traditionalists who are beginning to speak of assassination or separation. Fourthly, he wants to make the Telvanni a powerful force in the mercenary trade since they have good mercenaries, and many freed slaves willing to serve as hirelings. And finally, he has secret plans with Dwemer technology.

Quest Path:

Mouth Quests - these are the chores you have to do to gain trust and ranking in the lower levels of Great House Telvanni.
Other Quests - here you perform tasks for the Telvanni people and build trust
Aryon - you may serve Aryon and fulfill his quests but soon he has you undercover serving...
Neloth - you serve him for awhile as he undermines Aryon
Aryon - you continue with Aryon and become a high ranking Telvanni
War... the Great House War

Clan Quests
Nerethi Clan
This Clan has been met with several unfortunate events. Their Tower on the mainland was razed several years ago by renegade Telvanni. One of their clansmen was slandered in Mournhold and tried to assassinate the people, but he, Veros Nerethi, was killed. Thus this clan is looking for a place to go, but without their wealth, and without some of their better clansmen, they are having a tough time. They would like to settle in the Telvanni tower of Vivec but cannot afford the fee to pay the Temple. They reside in Vos.
Starting up
Uupse Nerethi, clan leader, needs a way to start a business. She is a good enchanter though not an expert. Find her a job. Asking around reveals that the Zainab wish to acquire enchanted weapons to better defend themselves when they go to mine ebony in the Yanemus mine on Red Mt. When you go ask a Zainab Gulakhan, he will answer proudly that they need no Telvanni weapons to fend for themselves. Asking around the camp, the camp trader will tell you that he will set you up with a business deal. If you can supply them with enchanted silver swords, they will give gold and guar hides and shalk resin. When you ask where you will get the silver swords, he will tell you the Redoran are good weaponsmiths, but he knows of an Ashlander trader living in Ald-ruhn who may be able to supply you with some. Going to meet old Hassour Zainsubani who says he can get you them, but is expecting diamonds from his son...
(His son is is in a newly discovered diamond mine near Baltir Mal in the West Gash. You get the diamonds from him, give them to Hassour, who will give you 5 silver swords.)
You give these swords to Uupse who will enchant them with absorb health, and then you give these to the Zainab trader who will give you guar hides, shalk resin, and gold. You give these to Uupse. She is glad she can start a small business while saving up.
Ashlander Romance(easier if you are in Ashlanders faction)
Uupse's daughter, Relavesa Nerethi has fallen in love with an Ashlander hunter from the Yakaridarin Tribe. However at the same time, Uupse has plans to marry her daughter to the powerful Uvirith. In Telvanni society, marriages are serious business, and assassination and kidnappings aren't uncommon in contrversial marriages. Talk to Relavesa, and you will realize she feels that as a duty for her clan, if she marries Uvirith, they will have a home. However she loves Pudai Naskanalit deeply. Talk to her mother and she will say that she'd only allow her daughter to marry the Ashlander if he shows his power and wealth. You have two choices... marry her to Pudai or to Uvirith. Uvirith won't care much, but for the dowry he is willing to pay four Grand Soul Gems and allow his tower to grow more pods for the clan to live in. Pudai says he is but a poor hunter from the Yakaridarins. Advising Relavesa to marry Uvirith is easy but her disposition to you will be low, her mother's will be high, and she will give you a charm amulet. If you advise her to marry Pudai, you must help Pudai look powerful. If part of the Ashlanders faction you can simply ask the Yakardarin Ashkhan who will agree to help his clansman. If not, then you need to buy a set of Telvanni bonemold, a bonemold bow, a staff of peace, and plenty of telvanni bug-musk. You must also tell him to decorate and tidy up his Yurt. When you tell Uupse to look it through (and deliver the dowry of a pack guar with precious silks), she does and sighs and says Relavesa has her consent. They are married.
Housing
If you marry Relavesa to Uvirith they will simply move to Tel Uvirith. If you marry her to Pudai, Uupse and the rest of the clan will be leaving for Vivec, the Telvanni Compound. Uupse tells you to sell her silks (Ashlander dowry) and get 7900 gold for the fee. When you do, or simply give it to her, she will reward you with an enchanted Ashlander silk shirt and pants, the enchantment is to increase personality.
Trendrus Drals
Drals' wife is coming home after visiting relatives on the mainland. Trendrus is worried since he is afraid of his sorceress wife. He is doubly afraid because he leaves the House untidy and has lost the Beetle herd somewhere in outside Sadrith Mora. He is also triply afraid because he got a Bosmer girlfriend while she was away for several years.
Find the beetles
He will tell you that yesterday he lost the small beetle herd he was supposed to keep. This was his income, although he wasn't poor his wife expected them to be healthy and all there. He knows there are three and you must go outside of Sadrith Mora and find them. You herd them back by equipping a Telvanni beetle lure, which Drals will give you. When you find a bettle, it will walk close and follow you. You simply lead them all back into the pen, un equip the lure and clse the pen door.
The WIFE
Drals is terrified. He heard his wife will be getting off the Elf-skerring tomorrow. You can either tell him to fake his death, run away with his Bosmer girlfriend, or be a man and stop letting his overbearing sorceress wife boss him around. Faking his death will get him found out and his wife will shock him with lightning. Running away will make him and his girlfriend run away to the Telvanni temporary housing in Vivec. Telling him to stand his ground will result in finding his dead body on the ground of his house-pod under the foot of a crazy wife. His girlfriend will soon move out to Tel Aruhn.

what does that mean?
I can't tell if thats a good thing or a bad thing...
and I hope you give advices and suggestions...

anyhow, any more commentary?

I tried to be specific about the quests but it was late and I wanted to get it done before I get sleepy

[cruxvader]

I like it. Are there many missions from the traditionalists, because if they players want to roleplay view an aim toward peace, then we'd need some quests in that... spectrum... as well.

Perhaps some meddling in the affairs of Telvanni, either family related, or i dunno. not everything is oriented toward the war, or involves errand running right?

yeah
thats why I need comments and analysis, cause sometimes I lose sight of things

will edit promptly

[cruxvader]

Alot of what has been on my mind is resource management. Because with these resources comes the trade of these goods, which opens up tons of quests. =D =D =D. What counts is presentation with these quests, and if we let our minds wonder, then we can come up with some pretty innovative quests

[KuKulzA]

I made these few new ones

Clan Quests
Nerethi Clan
This Clan has been met with several unfortunate events. Their Tower on the mainland was razed several years ago by renegade Telvanni. One of their clansmen was slandered in Mournhold and tried to assassinate the people, but he, Veros Nerethi, was killed. Thus this clan is looking for a place to go, but without their wealth, and without some of their better clansmen, they are having a tough time. They would like to settle in the Telvanni tower of Vivec but cannot afford the fee to pay the Temple. They reside in Vos.

Going to meet old Hassour Zainsubani who says he can get you them, but is expecting diamonds from his son...
(His son is is in a newly discovered diamond mine near Baltir Mal in the West Gash. You get the diamonds from him, give them to Hassour, who will give you 5 silver swords.)
You give these swords to Uupse who will enchant them with absorb health, and then you give these to the Zainab trader who will give you guar hides, shalk resin, and gold. You give these to Uupse. She is glad she can start a small business while saving up.
Ashlander Romance(easier if you are in Ashlanders faction)
Uupse's daughter, Relavesa Nerethi has fallen in love with an Ashlander hunter from the Yakaridarin Tribe. However at the same time, Uupse has plans to marry her daughter to the powerful Uvirith.

[grumbler]

KuKulzA,

I like these. I think you could have some more fun with the Nerethi Clan;

Morag Tong:
If the Nerethi settle in Vivec, they have trouble with the Morag Tong. Uupse Nerethi asks you to talk to XXX (the local front for the MT) to tell him to knock off the robbing of the Nerethi shipments. You calk to XXX, and if you are yourself a MT member, you get cooperation. If not, you get attacked by XXX's bodyguard and must fight hand-to-hand because of the presence of nearby guards. If you get knocked down, you are allowed to leave in defeat; if you knock down the MT bodyguard, they concede your point and agree to lay off the Nerenthi for thirty days (or whatever).

This is just an excuse to force some HTH action, since it is a skill that seldom gets used in the game!

[KuKulzA]

good idea :yes: and thanks for the complement

hand to hand is underused... although I have come up with ways in Black marsh in which it can be used a lot, Vvardenfell is a tougher place for that with all the shiny weapons and ebony and glass and stuff, people just look at whats cool and shiny and not at iron hard knuckles

[Candlemaster]

these ideas are great! I have one suggestion though- I think that you should be able to choose whether to align yourself with Aryon or Neloth. That way people can choose who to help and who to assassinate.
