BEFORE YOU GET TO SOLSTHEIM =============================================================================== B1. A Few Pointers Here is a map of Sosltheim, with some important locations written in: http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/3825/solstheim2fo.png First off, talk to just about any NPC in the game about 'Latest Rumors' and they should mention Solstheim. They'll also mention that there is transportation to Solstheim from Khuul. Well, before you arrive, there are a few things you should know. A good level to be at before you head over to Solstheim is 20. If your character is relatively powerful, you can make it at a lower level if you wish. Also, many of the enemies on Solstheim seem to be resistant to magicka, and some even reflect magicka (especially Frost). So if your character is magic based, you may want to be at a higher level. And make sure you have some good Fire based magicka. The East Empire Company's favored skills list is actually a pretty good guide to follow for people heading to Solstheim. They favor Long Blade and Medium Armor, and it isn't a bad idea to train a little in those before you go. Especially Medium Armor. There are several new sets of Medium Armor that are actually very good. The EEC also favors Security. You will most definitely need either a high Security, or something with an Enchantment of Open for at least 60 points. There are hundreds of locked treasure chests scattered about the island. You can buy the spell "Ondusi's Open Door", which opens 50 points on Touch, from Marayn Dren in the Balmora Guild of Mage's. With that spell, you can either make your own Lock spell, or enchant something with Lock. B2. Mark And Recall Before you start, it would be wise to get the Mark and Recall spells. There is little available transportation and you will probably be heading back and forth a lot. You can get an Amulet of Recall at Caldera, Verick Gemain: Trader for $194. You can get an Amulet of Mark from Galtis Serethi in the Shurinbaal smuggler cave, just South West of Gnaar Mok (thanks to Barry Coley for that information). Another alternative would be to buy the Mark and Recall spell from the two priests at the Balmora, Temple, downstairs. Or you can buy the Potion of Marking and the Potion of Recall, from Balmora, Nalcarya of White Haven: Fine Alchemist (thanks to HETT for that information). If you don't know what Mark and Recall are, it's pretty simple. You use the Mark spell to mark the spot you are standing at (preferably a place you visit often), and later on, you use the Recall spell to instantly recall to that spot. It is really helpful when visiting places like the Skaal Village, which is on the very top right corner of the map, with absolutely no transportation to the area. B3. Transportation There is a boat from Khuul to Solstheim. To get to Khuul, you can ride the Silt-Strider from Ald-Ruhn. Once in Khuul, go to the docks, and find a Khajiit named S'Virr. He will take you directly to Fort Frostmoth on Solstheim. Once in Solstheim, talk to Basks-In-The-Sun, who will tell you who to talk to at the Fort. Speaking to Carnius Magius will begin the East Empire Company (I have included a Guide for the EEC because the missions are overall easier, and this is a "Beginner's Guide"), and speaking to Falx Carius begins the main quest in Bloodmoon. The only transportation on the island is a single boat. As mentioned before, it will take you from Fort Frostmoth back to Khuul. After you progress in the East Empire Company, you will be able to take the boat to Raven Rock as well. If you ever want to return to Fort Frostmoth, you can use a Divine Intervention spell, which you can buy from Aunius Autrus at the Imperial Cult in Sadrith Mora's Wolverine Hall. The enemies of Solstheim are harder than the ones you've encountered on Vvardenfell. If you aren't at a high enough level to handle some of the enemies (like Spriggans), or if you are traveling somewhere for the thousandth time, or just don't feel like fighting anything at the moment, I've listed a few alternative ways to travel around the island. One thing that will certainly help out if you are trying to avoid enemies on Solstheim is a Detect Creatures spell. You can buy the Detect Creature spell from Orrent Geontene at the Ald-Ruhn Guild of Mage's. One of the better things about Solstheim is that there are no Cliff Racers. With no Cliff Racers (or anything else that flies) you can use levitation to get around the island, provided you have the spells to do so. You can buy the spell of Levitate from Marayn Dren in the Balmora Guild of Mage's. Also, you can swim through the water since there are no Slaughterfish, and the Horkers rarely ever attack you. If you want to buy a spell of Water Breathing, you can also buy that from Marayn Dren in the Balmora Guild of Mage's. If you want to buy the spell of Water's Blessing (Swift Swim), you can buy it from Medila Indaren at the Caldera Guild of Mage's. The rivers are a little safer to travel than the land, but just watch out for the Reavers and smugglers who make their camps along the rivers. Of course, you can always use a Chameleon or Invisibility spell to sneak by unnoticed. You can buy the Golanar's Eye-Maze (Chameleon) spell from Eraamion at the Caldera Guild of Mage's. You can buy the Invisibility spell from Fanildil at Ebonheart in the Hawkmoth Legion Garrison, Downstairs. Well, before we get into any missions, I'm sure you want to know exactly what was added to Morrowind with the Bloodmoon expansion. There's a new continent, there are new enemies, weapons, armor, and a whole bunch of new quests. Well, let's start with the weapons. I have listed the non-enchanted, weapons and armor. I left out a few of the unique weapons and armor sets, because they aren't important to beginners. If you see any I'm missing, or anything wrong with any of the following information, please tell me. =============================================================================== C.

MAKING YOUR OWN ARMOR =============================================================================== There are three people who make armor for you. Two of them are on Solstheim, and one is in Mournhold (if you want info. about the one in Mournhold, check my Armor FAQ). One of the two, Graring (or Carnius), won't make you armor until you help him out in the East Empire Company missions. LOCATION: Solstheim, Hut near Thirsk, Brynjolfr All the Snow Bear and Snow Wolf armor is enchanted with Constant Effect: Resistance to Frost 5% on Self. If you equip an entire set of Snow armor, you should have a resistance of 40%. You can get Snow Wolf and Snow Bear Pelts by finding and killing either a Snow Wolf or Snow Bear, respectively. They each drop 2 pelts, or at least, most of them do. You can get 5 of each snow pelt by becoming the Chieftain of Thirsk in Solstheim. *SNOW BEAR ARMOR* Snow Bear Cuirass: 5 snow bear pelts, $6,000 Snow Bear Left Pauldron: 2 snow bear pelts, $1,000 Snow Bear Right Pauldron: 2 snow bear pelts, $1,000 Snow Bear Left Gauntlet: 2 snow bear pelts, $1,000 Snow Bear Right Gauntlet: 2 snow bear pelts, $1,000 Snow Bear Greaves: 4 snow bear pelts, $5,000 Snow Bear Boots: 3 snow bear pelts, $3,000 Snow Bear Helm: 2 snow bear pelts, $2,000 *SNOW WOLF ARMOR* Snow Wolf Cuirass: 5 snow wolf pelts, $6,000 Snow Wolf Left Pauldron: 2 snow wolf pelts, $1,000 Snow Wolf Right Pauldron: 2 snow wolf pelts, $1,000 Snow Wolf Left Gauntlet: 2 snow wolf pelts, $1,000 Snow Wolf Right Gauntlet: 2 snow wolf pelts, $1,000 Snow Wolf Greaves: 4 snow wolf pelts, $5,000 Snow Wolf Boots: 3 snow wolf pelts, $3,000 Snow Wolf Helm: 2 snow wolf pelts, $2,000 LOCATION: Solstheim, North of Lake Fjalding, where the river forks, outside of Graring's House, Aenar Alternatively: Fort Frostmoth, Imperial Cult Shrine, Carnius (depending on decisions made in the East Empire Company) *ICE ARMOR* Aenar (or Carnius) makes the Ice Armor found in Solstheim. This is the only way to get Ice Armor (except for the Shield). Stalhrim is what the Skaal use to bury their dead in because it protects people from disturbing their corpses, or something along those lines. You will need an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe in order to extract some Stalhrim. You get the Pickaxe from Graring, during the East Empire Mining Colony Missions. In order to make each piece of Stalhrim armor or weapon, you only need one piece of Stalhrim (two for Carnius). Stalhrim is rare, but there is more than enough to make each piece of armor and each weapon. It doesn't cost anything to make them, either, which is very good. =============================================================================== F. BLOODMOON ENEMIES =============================================================================== I won't go into the unique enemies, because they won't be out in the wild. These are the enemies that regenerate, except for the werewolves. There are a certain number of those, but they are out in the wild, so they're worth mentioning. I've added to this section. If there is anything else that you think should be included, tell me. (Thanks to ImageShack for hosting my pictures) This is how I will display each enemies information: *Name of Creature* Appearance: Link to an in-game picture of the creature. Health: Amount of health the creature has. Fatigue: Amount of fatigue the creature has. Attack: Their attack power. It reads the same way as the attack power of a weapon. Information: In-game text about the creature. Drops: Items that the creature drops. Now let's get started... *Wolf* Appearance: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8128/wolf2tj.jpg Health: 60 Fatigue: 400 Attack: 1-15 Information: They're all over this island. Some travel in packs, which makes them especially dangerous. I've heard some carry disease, as well. Drops: Wolf Pelt *Plague Wolf* Appearance: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/6029/plaguewolf1uv.jpg Health: 120 Fatigue: 400 Attack: 7-12 Information: Wolves are one of the most blessed of the All-Maker's creations. They are fast and agile, and they are careful and clever hunters. Drops: Wolf Pelt *Snow Wolf* Appearance: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8192/snowwolf2nz.jpg Health: 200 Fatigue: 200 Attack: 10-30 Information: The snow wolves are larger, more elusive cousins of Solstheim's common wolves. They have a thick coat that protects them from the frost and cold. You can find snow wolves in and around the Moesring Mountains. It is said their attacks have been known to freeze human flesh, so be careful if you encounter one! Drops: 2 Snow Wolf Pelts *Grizzly Bear* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/738/grizzly2zx.jpg Health: 150 Fatigue: 500 Attack: 9-18 Information: Bears are all over Solstheim. If you see one, be careful. They're vicious fighters, and some are known to be diseased. Drops: Bear Pelt *Plague Bear* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8463/plaguebear6rb.jpg Health: 180 Fatigue: 500 Attack: 10-22 Information: Bears are but one of the sacred creatures the All-Maker has blessed us with. They embody the warrior's strength, and some of the Skaal can even summon them to fight by their sides. Drops: Bear Pelt *Snow Bear* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7176/snowbear8en.jpg Health: 300 Fatigue: 200 Attack: 20-50 Information: Snow bears are larger than normal bears, and have thick white fur that protects them against the frost and cold. They're very aggressive when encountered, and their attacks have been known to freeze human flesh. Snow bears can be pretty hard to find, but hunters have seen them in the snowy forested regions along Solstheim's southern coast. Drops: 2 Snow Bear Pelts *Berserker* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/1272/berserker2ci.jpg Information: They are called "bare-sarks" in the Nord tongue, beause of their insistence on going bare-chested even in the most severe blizzard. They're crazy as they come, friend, and care only for savagery and murder. It is said they are so attracted to death, they make their homes in some of Solstheim's burial barrows. *Horker* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/6238/horker9ow.jpg Health: 100 Fatigue: 500 Attack: 1-12 Information: Odd beasts. Seem fairly docile, but they can be vicious if provoked. Drops: Horker Tusk *Tusked Bristleback* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/8558/tbristleback8gx.jpg Health: 200 Fatigue: 800 Attack: 9-33 Information: The Tusked Bristleback is a type of boar native to Solstheim. There are lots of them around, and they're sometimes hunted for their meat. The Bristlebacks can be vicious, too. That's why the Rieklings use them as mounts. Drops: Bristleback Leather *Riekling* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/7475/riekling8nt.jpg Health: 100 Fatigue: 800 Attack: 1-5 Information: Vile little beasts, but not as mindless as some may think. These creatures are intelligent. Some are capable of speech, and all are capable of great cunning. Drops: Riekling Sword, Riekling Shield *Riekling Raider* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3802/rieklingr3nc.jpg Health: 400 Fatigue: 800 Attack: 8-35 Information: The Tusked Bristleback is a mystery to us. It is a natural being, created by the All-Maker, but it is a cruel and vicious animal. The Rieklings use them as mounts, and have bred the creatures to be even more warlike and dangerous. Drops: Bristleback Leather *Draugr* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/2674/draugr7vy.jpg Health: 300 Fatigue: 800 Attack: 7-25 Information: Imagine an angry Nord. Now imagine a dead angry Nord with a taste for human flesh. Get the picture? Drops: Gravetar *Fryse Hag* Appearance: http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/2853/frysehag8bg.jpg Information: The fryse hags are mages dedicated to the teachings of Kyne, the widow of the god Shor. Each is a powerful sorceress skilled in the use of frost-based magicka. They're vicious lasses, and view most people as a threat to their beliefs. They've been seen out in the wild, and in a couple of the ice caves. *Reaver* Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/2960/reaver6sv.jpg Information: They are small parties of off-island axemen and archers that stage hit-and-run raids on one-hut settlements and hunting camps. *Spriggan* Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/8855/spriggan9fk.jpg Health: 200 Fatigue: 800 Attack: 12-44 Information: They say spriggans die three deaths. Best to avoid them if I were you. Drops: Belladonna Berries *Grahl* Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5494/grahl0zm.jpg Health: 500 Fatigue: 700 Attack: 30-75 Information: I have heard them called that. We do not know what they really are. Perhaps an evil spirit, perhaps a great beast. Whatever they are, they are dangerous. Their claws and tusks rend armor and tear flesh. They will attack alone or in packs. Take care when they are near. *Werewolf* Appearance: http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/5585/werewolf2xn.jpg Information: Man was not meant to live a dual life as both rational being and animal. These beasts are evil and dangerous, but they are also very rare. More have been seen in recent times, though. =============================================================================== G. JOINING THE EAST EMPIRE COMPANY =============================================================================== As soon as you get off the boat, there are several crates lying around. Help yourself to some weapons, since no one seems to mind. Find to Carnius Magius to start the East Empire Company, who is located in the Imperial Cult Shrine. Go up the winding staircase to the second floor and he is in the door on your right. Speak to Carnius about the East Empire Company, and agree to join. =============================================================================== H. PROMOTION REQUIREMENTS =============================================================================== These are the requirements, according to Carnius Magius: "The East Empire Company is a business at heart. Applicants should have a winning personality, and a strong will. Those with the ability to speak eloquently and barter shrewdly are most valuable. Given the hostile environments the Company often ventures into, applicants should have a keen sense of security. Finally, all applicants should be trained in the time- honored virtues of long blades and medium armor, as has been customary for the Company for generations." Here are the actual stats you will need for each advancement: Below, when it says 'need one skill at', it means one of this particular guild's favorite skills. The favorite skills are listed below: Favorite Skills: Speechcraft, Mercantile, Security, Long Blade, Medium Armor.

Factor Personality: 35 Willpower: 35 Need one skill at 90 and need two skills at 35 Alright, time for your first mission. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I. EAST EMPIRE COMPANY MISSIONS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ***IMPORTANT! READ FIRST*** When you arrive at Raven Rock, if you run into Afer Flaccus, Gratian Caerellius, or Garnas Uvalen, you may notice an option of conversation, 'hire guards'. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT talk about hiring guards until you actually get the mission that requires you to hire guards. It can prevent you from continuing in the East Empire Company, and, as far as I know, there is no way to fix it (console commands might work, I haven't tested it). However, if you have another issue involving not being able to complete a mission, whether your game glitches out, or whatever, there is a way to look up console commands for different missions in the Construction Set. First, open the Construction Set and under the Files tab, click Data Files, then check the box next to Bloodmoon (it'll automatically load Morrowind with it). Once it has loaded all of the information, on the top tab, click Character, and then Dialogue. There should be a scrolling column on the left hand side of this new screen. The tabs at the top also scroll side to side, so scroll it all the way to the right to find Journal. Here is a list of every set of missions in the game. Tread carefully, since this also means that there will be spoilers. Many of the Bloodmoon ones start with BM, and many EEC missions start with CO, but this may not always be the case. Find the set of missions that you want, and then click on it. As an example, let's choose one of the fist EEC missions where you have to deliver ebony back to Carnius. If, for some reason, he doesn't acknowledge that you have returned with ebony, these missions are listed under "CO_1", so find that under the Journal tab, and click on it. At this point, you have all of the possible journal updates for this mission listed at the top. Find the one that you need (in this example, it would be "I have delivered the ebony to Carnius and completed my assignment. I should return in three days' time for my next assignment."), and look for the number next to it under the Disp/Index tab (NOT the Info ID tab). The console command for this journal update would be: Journal CO_1 50 And that's all you need to do. Remember, there are plenty of spoilers listed in there, so just stick to what you need. =============================================================================== 1. THE BODY GUARD =============================================================================== For your first mission, you will have to escort Gidar Verothan and the others to the site of the future mining company. Falco Galenus, the second in command, will be waiting there for you. Leave the Imperial Cult, and head back towards the docks. You will see Gidar and the others waiting for you. Talk to Gidar, and he will suggest you take the lead. They wouldn't need an escort if they were good fighters, after all. But he does mark it on your map, so that's good. Now just head towards Raven Rock on your map. If you are at a particularly low level, you may want to avoid some of the harder enemies, like the Tusked Bristleback (looks like a warthog) and Fryse Hag (a Nord woman). But you shouldn't see anything but Wolves, the occasional Bear, and maybe even a Berserker. They are naked Nords, who don't seem to like outlanders. When Raven Rock is marked on your map, there are two squares, and Falco is in the middle of the two. When you get there, Gidar will thank you. Talk to Falco, and he will give you your next assignment. Rewards: none =============================================================================== 2. EBONY ORE =============================================================================== Falco gives you a piece of Ebony and tells you to collect four more, so that the investors will have evidence that this area is worth mining. The Ebony is almost directly north of Falco. Just check the Ebony deposits. After you collect four pieces, five including the one Falco gave you (and be sure to pick up some for yourself), head back to Fort Frostmoth to give them to Carnius. After you give them to him, he will tell you that construction of the colony will be well underway in three days, so after waiting for three days (you will get a journal update), talk to him again. He will give you a Stock Certificate, which you can sell at any time for some extra cash, but now it won't sell for anything. When you are finished with the EEC missions, it will be worth much more. He will tell you that he has nothing for you, but Falco is having problems, so head back to Raven Rock. Rewards: Any extra Ebony you find. =============================================================================== 3. HROLDAR THE STRANGE =============================================================================== Requirements: a high Hand-to-Hand skill helps, but isn't necessary. Falco informs you that a Nord that they call Hroldar the Strange is blocking people from entering the mines, because they are interfering with nature. Falco wants you to reason with him, so go talk to him. He will get angry at you, and refuse to talk to you, so go back to Falco. He says that you can rough him up a little, but he still doesn't want to shed blood, so no weapons or magic. Just bare fists. Go punch him until he says that he gives up, or kill him, if you'd rather. Hroldar the Strange is at level 40, with 300 Fatigue. My Hand-to-Hand rating is 37 and it took a while, so if yours is much lower than that, you may want to get something that raises your Hand-to-Hand ability, like the Glove of the Horny fist (not sure where to buy one), or something that lowers his Fatigue. You can kill him if it gets too tiresome. If you kept him alive, Falco will reward you with $1,000, and thank you for keeping the poor bastard alive. If you killed Hroldar, Falco gets angry at you, and sends you to Carnius, where you recieve the same reward. If you killed him, Carnius is delighted, and if you didn't, Carnius is disappointed. It isn't a bad thing that he is disappointed, because, as you may have already guessed, Carnius is an ass. Well, he tells you to wait for a few days again, so sleep, wait, or explore for a few days, and check back. After about two and a half days, you will get a journal update. Rewards: $1,000 =============================================================================== 4. SHIPPING MANIFEST =============================================================================== Talk to Carnius and he will tell you that he needs a shipping manifest from Falco at Raven Rock. Go back there and talk to him. Falco said that he doesn't have the shipping manifest because the ship hasn't arrived yet, and that it's Carnius' fault for never putting in a dock. Go ask around to see if anyone has 'seen anything'. I asked the first person I saw, Gamin Girith, and he will tell you that he saw a light to the northwest, so go check that out. Make sure you stay along the coast. After all, you are looking for a ship. When you get near the ship, you may notice some new enemies called Draugr's. These can be very difficult, especially if you are at a low level. They are also pretty creepy looking. If you approach them very slowly, and save beforehand, you can make it so that only one will attack you at a time. Also, a little Sujamma can go a long way. Once you have killed all 3 of them, go around the back and you will see a woman. Before you talk to her, climb up the rocks, and get on top of the boat. Go inside and collect all the pick axe's that you find (just trust me on this one). There should be six. Then go back outside and talk to the very relieved Apronia Alfena. Escort her to Falco at Raven Rock. Apronia will thank you for escorting her, and Falco will tell you to report to Carnius at Fort Frostmoth. He will also mention that the ship was supposed to be delivering them some pick axe's. You can sell him the pick axe's you found (if you didn't get them earlier, just go back now and get them) for $500 each. So if you got all 6, he will reward you with $3,000. Not bad at all. The travel boat is now there, so you can use it to transport back and forth between Fort Frostmoth and Raven Rock. Use it. Go back to a disappointed Carnius who will give you $300 for your troubles. Wait a few more days and talk to him again. He tells you that he has nothing for you to do, so go talk to Falco at Raven Rock. Reward: $500 per pick axe, $3,000 maximum. And $300 from Carnius. =============================================================================== 5. CROSSROADS =============================================================================== Well, Falco informs you that you have arrived at a crossroads. His opinions differ very greatly than that of Carnius. Actually, Falco only took his current position to counter whatever scheming Carnius does, and he thinks that Carnius only wants money, and will try to make money even at the expense of the workers. So he wants you to make a decision, do you follow Falco, and do what's best for everyone? Or do you follow Carnius and be greedy? Well, if you choose Carnius Magius, go report that to him. If you choose Falco Galenus, all of your future assignments will come straight from him. The first few missions are the same, but they will split later on. The only difference at first is that you will get your missions from the person you chose to side with. =============================================================================== 6. DECISIONS, DECISIONS =============================================================================== Falco (or Carnius) informs you that there are enough funds to build either a Smithy or a Trade Outpost, but not both. So he lets you decide. Go around and talk to the people of Raven Rock to see which they would rather have. Slightly more people want the Trader, by the way. If you choose the Trader, he has nothing of any value that you can buy from him. You can buy a Saint's Shield from the Smithy, which is very good if you specialize in Heavy Armor. The Smithy would probably be more useful to you and the workers (to fix their equipment), though. Also, they both have $10,000. Really, the decision is yours. Once you decide, go report back to Falco. He tells you to bring your decision to Carnius, who tells you that he doesn't care either way. Wait a few more days, and talk to Carnius to tell him that the Smithy or Trade Outpost is finished. Go talk to Falco. Reward: A new Smithy or Trade Outpost, and $300, regardless of which you chose to build. =============================================================================== 7. STUBBORN BARO =============================================================================== Go check out your new Trader or Smithy, and then talk to Falco (or Carnius, who tells you to report to Falco). He tells you that there's a problem with the supply ship that Carnius sent for (surprise, surprise). The captain, Baro Egnatius, is refusing to take the ore to the homeland unless you pay him a rather hefty sum of money. Falco wants you to reason with him. Go down to the docks and talk to him. He will threaten you and mention Elberoth, the captain of the supply ship that crashed. Go tell Falco that you failed to reason with him. He will suggest that you talk to Apronia Alfena, who you saved from that ship, because she knows Elberoth, and you may be able to exploit this connection. Apronia, who is usually located very close to Falco, informs you that Elberoth isn't all that he's cracked up to be. She mentions that he didn't last long in the attacks, and that she used his saber to defend herself. The saber itself isn't worth anything, but you can use it to scare Baro. So equip the saber, and go talk to him. He will assume that you killed Elberoth, and agree to take the ore to the homeland, in return for his own safety. So go report back to Falco, who is very happy now that he doesn't have to make the huge payment. So he gives you $1,000. Reward: $1,000 and Elberoth's Saber. And an additional 10 Cure Common Disease Potions if you sided with Carnius. ***At this point, the missions will be different, depending on who you chose. If you chose Falco, continue to the next chapter. If you chose Carnius, skip ahead to chapter 8c. The "F" stands for Falco, and the "C" stands for Carnius. I tried to keep it simple*** =============================================================================== 8f. MISSING ORE =============================================================================== Falco informs you that the Ebony Ore amounts aren't adding up. He suspects Uryn Maren, but can't do anything until he has actual proof. He gives you the key to Maren's house, and tells you to search any chests in there. Don't worry; the key to his house also opens the chest. So go in his house, and check the chest in his room to find absolutely nothing. Oh well, go back to Falco. He is certain that this information is reliable, so he tells you to go into the mines and catch Uryn Maren in the act. Enter the mine through the door that was originally blocked by Hroldar the Strange, and Uryn is in the little dead end down the first path on your right. I couldn't get him to move by just staring at him from far away, so save (just in case he sees you) and run behind him. That should trigger him to start walking. Follow him and make sure nobody sees you. When you enter the open area, he will start sneaking, which makes it obvious that he's up to no good. Follow him into the room filled with ore deposits, and you should get a journal update. Confront him, because he has no business in that room, and he cracks, and says that Carnius Magius put him up to it. He was told that he would be killed if he didn't steal as much ore as possible. Well, Falco needs to hear this immediately, so go back to him. Falco tell you that he assumed Carnius was involved. Well, it's time to go confront Carnius, himself. Carnius swears he had nothing to do with it, and says that he will take care of it. Well, go tell Falco, who tells you that Uryn Maren was found dead. So I guess Carnius did take care of it. But Falco has no way of proving it was Carnius, so he can do nothing for now. He thanks you, because at least the thieving stopped, and rewards you with $500. Reward: $500 =============================================================================== 9f. DRUNKEN BAR FIGHT =============================================================================== You are told that Seler Favelnim is seemingly ill and is starting a fight with anyone who enters the bar. So go to the bar. Outside of the bar, you will run into his wife, Dralora, who pleads that you don't fight him. She says that he is just sick of feeling old and useless, and will get over it. So go into the bar, and let him fight you, but don't fight back in any way. He only hit me three times before he gave up, but use a Restore Fatigue Potion, if your Fatigue gets too low. He pleads with you that you kill him. Ask him 'Why would you want to die?', and he tells you that he feels useless. Then ask 'What about your wife?', and he tells you that she would be better off without him. Then tell him 'This isn't your only option', and he pleads one last time that you fight him, so say 'No, I won't'. He tells you that you're right, and he will try to look on the bright side from now on. Go outside and talk to Falco. He is proud of you for showing compassion and not killing Seler. He rewards you with $1,500. Reward: $1,500 if you spare Seler Favelnim. =============================================================================== 10f. GRARING =============================================================================== Falco tells you that they have unearthed a burial site in the mines, and that there is ice that they cannot break through. He wants you to go talk to Graring, whose house is located just south of where the Harstrad and Isild rivers meet. It is the only place on Solstheim where two major rivers meet, so you shouldn't have too much trouble finding it. Jut in case, it is at the top of the map towards the center. This is (possibly) the first time you've ventured far from Raven Rock, so you may see some harder enemies now. Like the Tusked Bristleback, Fryse Hags (some carry Winterwound Daggers, which are pretty good early in the game), and maybe even Rieklings. If you are at a lower level or having trouble with some of the enemies, traveling through the river isn't a bad idea. After all, there are no Slaughterfish on Solstheim and the Horkers rarely ever attack. Just watch out for the hostile Nords who set up camps along the river. When you approach Graring's house, they will be under attack by a woman named Coventina Celata. After she is dead (make absolutely certain that you do not accidentally attack Graring, Aenar, or Hidar!), talk to Graring, and he will tell you that she was looking to find out the secrets of Stalhrim, but they refuse to tell anyone about it because they would just misuse it. Graring and the others were kicked out of the Skaal Village because they use the sacred Stalhrim and forge it into weapons and armor. This is a very good thing for you, though. They trust you because you helped them in the attack, and they want you to go get a piece of Stalhrim. You are given an Ancient Nordic Pick Axe to do so. It is also a weapon, but not a very good one. You can find Stalhrim all over the continent. Go in just about any Barrow, and you should find some. If you are having trouble, go to Bloodskal Barrow just north west of Raven Rock. There is some Stalhrim, and be careful if you pick up the sword in there if you are at a lower level. If you pick up the sword, you will get a journal update, and get attacked by two Greater Skeleton Champion's and three Draugr's (this sword is not connected to any mission, it's just neat). Kjolborn Barrow, South of Raven 
Rock, has Stalhrim and some Draugr's. Once you get some, take it back to 
Graring, and feel free to go in his house and take his Huntsman Axe, he won't 
mind.

Once you show him the Stalhrim, which he lets you keep, you can talk to Aenar 
and Hidar, who will construct for you Stalhrim weapons and armor. The armor is 
Medium Armor, and it's pretty good, so if you are good with Medium Armor, feel 
free to make some. But if you aren't good with Medium Armor, go ahead and make 
a weapon of your choice. If you use Blunt Weapons, I would suggest not making 
the Stalhrim Mace, because, well, without spoiling anything, let's just say 
that you will get one during the East Empire Company missions. But it isn't for 
a while, so if you are impatient, go ahead and make it. Also, you may have 
noticed that you can't make an Ice Armor Shield, but you will get one of those 
from an East Empire Company mission, also.

After you are done, go back to Falco at Raven Rock. He will reward you with 
$1,000. Save before you start the next mission. Trust me, you'll be glad you 
did.

Reward: Ancient Nordic Pick Axe, the ability to make Stalhrim weapons and 
armor, and $1,000.


===============================================================================
11f. HURRY FASTER!
===============================================================================

Requirements: Mark and Recall. Not necessary, but much harder without them.

Uh oh... This mission is easily one of the harder ones, if you don't know what 
you're doing. However, if you know how to do it, it's not that hard. You are 
told to deliver a report to Carnius back at the Imperial Cult Shrine, and you 
have five hours to do so.

Don't take the boat, it takes 2 hours to ride the boat, and it took me about an 
hour to walk, and my character is pretty slow. So run to Carnius. Do not sleep, 
it will run you out of time pretty quickly. Carnius won't be there, but 
Constans Atrius will be standing outside of his room. Talk to him, and he will 
tell you where to find Carnius.

It's a trap. Remember, Carnius wants you to fail. When you talk to Constans 
Atrius (which you have to do or Carnius won't appear), it set's off the trap. 
Though I've been informed that if you talk to him from the side (near the 
doorway leading to where Carnius usually is), you can avoid the trap:

Trespasser's Bane

Drain Agility: 73 points
Drain Speed: 53 points
Burden: 105 points

And it takes longer than 5 hours to go away. If you still get the trap, you can 
actually use the shrine downstairs to remove the negative effects. Go to 
wherever he told you to go to. He can appear in three different locations: The 
site of the shipwreck, just north of Brodir Grove, or just south east of 
Valbrandr Barrow. Well, anyway, go to where he says to go, and if you don't 
make it on time, just reload and try again.

If you're having trouble with this mission, reload a save file from before you 
actually started the mission, and do the following. Make absolutely sure you 
haven't started the actual mission yet, and go to where Carnius appeared in 
your game, and cast Mark. Now go start the mission. Again, don't take the boat, 
and run to Carnius, making sure to not sleep along the way.

When you get to Constans, get your Recall spell ready (with your hands out in 
front of you) and talk to him, so that Carnius will appear in his location (and 
make sure he mentions the same spot, I'm not sure if it is randomly generated). 
Make sure you stand off to the side, talk to him, and cast Recall. Now you 
should appear right in front of Carnius, so talk to him about the report.

He is a little upset because he tried so hard to prevent you from succeeding. 
Well, once you've delivered the report to him, go back to Falco. He rewards you 
with $1,000.

Reward: $1,000


===============================================================================
12f. SPRIGGANS
===============================================================================

Requirements: Almsivi Intervention helps a lot for getting the 5 Bittergreen 
Petals

Falco tells you that there is an increase in Spriggans in the area. Or more 
specifically, around the cluster of trees on the east side of town. 

First let me say that lots of people seem to have a problem with the Spriggans 
not appearing, or not getting a journal update when you kill them. The Console 
Commands (open the Console by pushing the tilde, or ~ button) to make them 
appear are as follows:

placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co1" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co2" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co3" 1,1,1
placeatpc "BM_spriggan_co4" 1,1,1

And if you don't get a journal update when you kill them, type in:

Journal CO_10 30

You may have heard about Spriggans before, and they say that Spriggans die 
three deaths. That is why I hate Spriggans. Not only are they really powerful, 
but you have to kill them each three times. These are by far the most difficult 
enemy you have seen on Solstheim during the EEC missions, and there are four of 
them. I've heard that they are weak against fire, but I tried a fire spell and 
it didn't seem to do any more damage than anything else. I may just suck at 
magic, though.

When you beat them all, go to Unel Lloran at the bar. He informs you that the 
trees still won't go away, so you need to destroy the roots. He wants you to go 
down into the mines and ask about the roots. He would do it, but he's afraid of 
the dark :)

Talk to one of the mine workers, and they will tell you to go see it for 
yourself. Enter the door leading to the Abandoned Mine Shaft, and walk up to 
the roots and you will get a journal update telling you to go back to Unel 
Lloran, so go do that. He will follow you into the mines to see the roots.

When he sees them, he will tell you that if you poisoned its water supply with 
some Bittergreen Petals, the trees would probably die. You can usually buy 
ingredients from Temples, and there is a Temple in Gnisis, and it happens to be 
the closest Temple to Solstheim, so if you use Almsivi Intervention, you will 
appear in the Gnisis Temple. Go inside and talk to Zanmulk Sammalamus, who has 
10 Bittergreen Petals. You can take a boat from Gnisis to Khuul, and then from 
Khuul to Fort Frostmoth (alternatively, you could have gotten there that way, 
just backwards).

Once back in the mine, talk to Unel who will take your Bittergreen Petals, and 
send you back to Falco. He will give you $2,000 for your troubles.

Reward: $2,000


===============================================================================
13f. HIRE GUARDS
===============================================================================

Falco Galenus is worried about the protection of the Colony, so he wants you to 
see if anyone is willing to volunteer. There are three people who are willing. 
One of them is Gratian Caerellius. He is down in the mines. Talk to him about 
hiring guards, and he will accept. Afer Flaccus is the second. He is located in 
the back corner of the Bar. The last one is Garnas Uvalen. He is toward the 
east, walking around Seler Favelnim's house. You don't have to hire all three, 
but it will help you out later on if you get all three.

After hiring all of them, go talk to Falco. He says he needs to fit the new 
guards with armor. It will take a few days, and you need to actually leave 
Raven Rock. You will get a journal update telling you to go back.

Reward: New guards at Raven Rock, I guess.


===============================================================================
14f. ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT
===============================================================================

Falco has heard a rumor that there is going to be an assassination attempt 
(that's why he wanted the guards), and he obviously doesn't want that to 
happen, so he tells you to stay close. After a few seconds there will be an 
attack. Do not leave Falco's side; the guards will go after the first few 
people that come. He will tell you not to leave if you try to walk away from 
him. Attack the ones that come directly up to Falco. There should be one with a 
sword, and one with a bow.

After you take them out, go talk to Falco. He rewards you very nicely this 
time. After all, you did save his life. Now is when you get that Ice Shield 
that I mentioned earlier. It's unique; there are no others in the game.

Reward: $1,000, 10 Exclusive Restore Health Potions, and an Ice Shield.


===============================================================================
15f. SILVER LONGSWORDS, SKAAL, AND THE FINAL SHOWDOWN
===============================================================================

Apparently Carnius has received a shipment of Silver Longswords, and refuses to 
send them to the Colony, so you have to go get them. Take the boat. Good ole' 
Constans Atrius has the swords.

When you get back to Raven Rock, Falco tells you that there was an attack by 
some Skaal (hmmm, how convenient). You will never give him the swords; they are 
never a topic of conversation. Well, anyway, The Skaal started losing the 
battle and took refuge in the Mines. There are people in the mines, so go help 
them.

They are actually pretty difficult; so expect them to put up a good fight. If 
they are too difficult, a paralyze spell can help a lot. What sucks is that 
when you get injured, you can't sleep, because you are in town. When you enter, 
there is one in the little dead end on your right. After you take him out, 
continue down the path. Enter the next area where you will see two more. Take 
them out, and proceed down the path. You'll see a few more along the way.

Head towards the Abandoned Mine Shaft, then go down to the little dead end with 
lots of Ebony deposits and you will fight the leader. Make sure you check his 
corpse. His name is Toralf. Take the note from his body and read it. It clearly 
proves that it was all a setup to take out the Colony and blame it on the 
Skaal. Take the note to Falco. He'll read it and decide that it's finally time 
to confront Carnius Magius, so he gives you the note to show him.

When you show Carnius the note, he mentions that you weren't supposed to live, 
and then decides to finish the job himself. Carnius can be difficult. Here are 
his exact attributes:

Carnius Magius
Level: 50

Health: 600
Magicka: 200
Fatigue: 500

Strength: 200
Intelligence: 100
Willpower: 84
Agility: 100
Speed: 100
Endurance: 120
Personality: 100
Luck: 50

I won't list all of his skills, but a few are important:

Blunt Weapon: 100
Unarmored: 100
Athletics: 100

He uses a Stalhrim Mace (the one I told you that you would get later on). He 
can resist magic pretty well, but if you keep trying, you can paralyze him. One 
time that I killed him, I got reported to the guards, even though I didn't 
start the fight. It's not supposed to happen, though, because it hasn't 
happened any of the other times. If it happens to you, just type in the Console 
Command:

setpccrimelevel 0

It isn't really cheating since it's just fixing something that wasn't supposed 
to happen.

Once he's dead, take his weapon and the 10 Exclusive Restore Health Potions on 
his body. Report your victory to Falco. He is disappointed that it came to 
murder, but now that the Factor is dead, someone needs to run the Colony, so he 
promotes you to Factor (even if you never got a single promotion).

I noticed when I got to this point the construction wasn't complete yet (the 
wall around Raven Rock wasn't up and one of the guard towers wasn't finished), 
but I fixed this by leaving town and sleeping for a few days. You won't get a 
journal update.

Reward: 3 Silver Longswords (If he does take them from you, someone let me 
know), a Stalhrim Mace, and becoming Factor of your very own colony. 


===============================================================================
16f. REAL ESTATE
===============================================================================

Falco tells you that there is one last thing that needs to be discussed. There 
were plans for you to have an estate, but Carnius never got around to do 
anything about it. I guess he figured you'd be dead. But now that he's out of 
the way, go talk to Aldam Berendus about your new estate. He should be close 
by, walking around.

He tells you that there are three different places you can have your house 
built at. There is a torch at each location, so go check them out. Once you've 
decided which place you find most suitable, go back and talk to Aldam. He will 
follow you to the torch. Then tell him you are at the right spot.

He tells you that it will take about 5 days (it took me about 3), and that he 
doesn't want you bothering the workers, so take the hint and leave Raven Rock 
completely. When you get the journal update, go back and check out your new 
house! It's pretty big, probably the biggest building in Raven Rock.

Reward: Your very own estate.


===============================================================================
8c. CARNIUS MAGIUS
===============================================================================

Carnius informs you that he has been stealing ore to sell on the side. Falco 
has noticed this, and also knows where it's being hidden, so you need to go 
take care of the matter. You are given a key which opens the front door and 
convenientely, also the chest that the ore is hidden in.

Head on over to Uryn Maren's house and take the ore. The chest is in his 
bedroom, through the door on the left. Well, that was easy enough. Report back 
to Carnius.

Next he wants you to help Uryn steal more Ebony. Falco decided to place a guard 
at the entrance to the mines, so that makes things difficult for Uryn. Go talk 
to him in the mines so you can help him sneak by.

Uryn gives you some Flin to distract the guard. He is terribly bored, so he 
accepts it, but walks off so that no one sees him drinking on the job. Uryn 
takes this opportunity to sneak in, but wants you to stay with the guard, so go 
follow him. When Uryn comes back, he tells you that Carnius wants to speak with 
you. Feel free to use this opportunity to steal some ebony ore of your own. 
It's pretty heavy, though, and keep an eye out to make sure no guards are 
passing through at the time.

Report back to Carnius and he gives you some money for your trouble.

Reward: $1,000 and a chance to steal lot's of ebony ore.


===============================================================================
9c. SELER FAVELNIM
===============================================================================

After a few days have passed, Carnius informs you that there is trouble at the 
bar in Raven Rock. Just outside is his wife, who pleads you to not kill him. Go 
inside, let him beat on you for a while, and he'll give up. Talk him into 
living, and he will finally agree with you. Also, talk to Athellor (also in the 
bar) afterwards, and you can get a few free Cryodiilic Brandy's for a non-
related quest.

Report back to Carnius, who rewards you nicely.

Reward: $2,000


===============================================================================
10c. STALHRIM
===============================================================================

So it turns out that Carnius doesn't actually care about the ebony ore. The 
real reason he's in this business is for the Stalhrim. The miners have stumbled 
across some, and he wants it all to himself. Kill the only people who know the 
true value of Stalhrim, located at the fork of the two rivers towards the top 
center of the map, and take the Nordic Pick Axe from them.

Aenar and Hidar aren't a threat. Neither of them have weapons or armor, so 
focus on Graring. If you have Sujamma, or anything that'll raise strength, it 
wouldn't be a bad idea to use it now. He is using a Stalhrim Mace, which is 
very powerful, so if you're at a lower level he's gonna take you out quick. 
Once he's gone, take out the other two, and be sure to pick up the Ancient 
Nordic Pick Axe from Graring's body (also the Stalhrim Mace!).

Report back to Carnius who sends you off to the mines. Down towards the bottom, 
there is a dark room that looks different from the rest of the mines. If you 
have explored any burial tombs, it looks like that. The Stalhrim is on the 
right side, and it's in a little chunk. It's a little hard to see unless you 
know what you're looking for. Well, once you've gotten your Stalhrim, head back 
to Carnius. He will take it from you, and reward you with $3,000.

Remember that he takes that first piece of Stalhrim that you got. If you want 
to actually make some weapons and armor, you're gonna have to go out and find 
it. Most of the Barrows on Solstheim have Stalhrim, though many of them just 
have one peice. If you go to the Bloodskal Barrow, just North West of Raven 
Rock, there are three pieces (you need to unlock a level 20 door). I like this 
one, because there are no enemies unless you pick up the enchanted sword in the 
tomb. If you really want the sword, go ahead and take it, but get ready to 
fight a few enemies afterwards.

Unfortunately, it's gonna cost two pieces of Stalhrim (as opposed to just one 
if you chose Falco) to make anything. But there is still plenty of Stalhrim on 
the island to make whatever you want. I noticed a glitch that if you tell him 
you want to make a weapon from Stalhrim, the "Nevermind" button doesn't work. 
Meaning, in order to leave that screen, you need to actually tell him to make 
one. He can only make a War Axe, Dagger, Longsword, and Mace, so if you don't 
use one of those weapons, don't click on "Stalhrim Weapons". It works fine when 
trying to make armor, however.

Reward: $3,000 and the ability to make Stalhrim weapons and armor.


===============================================================================
11c. SHOOT THE MESSENGER
===============================================================================

Hroldar the Strange decides to make a come back. Turns out (who would've 
guessed) it was Carnius who planted him there. He's gonna need your help to 
prevent the report from reaching the fort. Meet him in the courtyard and he 
will take you a little North West of the fort.

Once there, he tells you to go to the colony to lead the messenger to that 
spot, so remember where you are. When you get to Raven Rock, he is over on the 
Eastern side of the town, and he says he needs an escort. How convenient. Lead 
him back to where you started, and let the wolves take care of him. Once he is 
dead, leave the report on his body and speak to Hroldar. He gives you a present 
from Carnius. Read the note, and you are informed that Hroldar must be killed. 
Luckily he's illiterate, or he would've figured this out from the note (or 
scrolls). Since the scrolls that you are given work for 10 feet, you only need 
to use one. Stand between the two wolves and use the scroll. Then take a swing 
at Hroldar and back up. The wolves should finish him off pretty easily.

Back at the fort, Carnius thanks you and gives you some money.

Reward: 2 Scroll of Savage Tyranny, $1,000


===============================================================================
12c. EVIL TREES
===============================================================================

There's a problem with Spriggans at Raven Rock, so you are chosen to get rid of 
them. Many people seem to have a problem with them appearing, and if you do, 
refer to chapter 12f. (seems redundant to write it all out twice). They should 
appear on the outskirts of town, on the right side.

Approach the Eastern edge of the colony until you get the first one to notice 
you, and run off in the opposite direction. Trust me, unless you are at a high 
level, you don't want to fight all four at once. I ran over to the docks, so I 
could leave (and heal) after finishing each one. They aren't actually too hard 
to take down, but they can do quite a bit of damage. The key is to take them 
out quickly. Also, you have to kill them each three times, so that's basically 
twelve of them that you have to fight. Not fun.

If you kept any of the scrolls from the last mission, you can actually use it 
on one of the Spriggans so that it will fight with you for a short while. It's 
especially helpful if several approach you at once.

Once all four are dead, you will get a Journal Update. Once you do, talk to 
Unel Lloran at the bar, and he will send you down into the mines. I, 
personally, hate walking all the way down into the mines, so save yourself a 
trip and head off to Gnisis. If you have Almsivi Intervention, use it, and you 
will end up exactly where you need to be. Otherwise, take the boat back to Fort 
Frostmoth, then to Khuul, then to Gnisis. Once there, go to the Temple, and buy 
at least 5 Bittergreen Petals from Zanmulk Sammalamus.

Now, head back into the mines. Once you find the roots (behind the door leading 
to the Abandoned Mine Shaft), your Journal will inform you that you should go 
back and talk to Unel. He wants you to take him with you this time, so lead him 
back to the roots. Once there, he mentions that you could probably poison the 
tree's water supply with some Bittergreen Petals. Well, what do you know? You 
happen to have some already. Hand over the petals, and report back to Carnius.

Reward: $1,000


===============================================================================
13c. PRETEND PROTECTION
===============================================================================

The investors are becoming nervous, so it's time to hire some guards. Go to the 
colony to find out who wants to join. There are three of them, though hiring 
less will make the next mission a little easier. You only really have to hire 
one of them, but your reward for this mission will be less if you do. Hiring 
less will give you more time during the next mission, but it isn't incredibly 
difficult either way, so the choice is yours.

Afer Flaccus, in the bar, is the first one. The second is Gratian Caerellius, 
who is in the mines, towards the bottom. The third is Garnas Uvalen, who 
wanders around a little bit. I found him just east of Seler Favelnim's house.

Once you've hired all the people you want to hire, tell Carnius that you're 
finished.

Reward: $1,000 if you hire all three


===============================================================================
14c. ASSASSINATION
===============================================================================

This is the moment Carnius has been waiting for. It's time to take out Falco. 
He has hired a Nord, Baslod, to distract the guards. Once he does, you take out 
Falco, positioned safely in a nearby tower. If the guards get back before Falco 
is dead, you will be caught. Make sure that doesn't happen. So, make your way 
to Raven Rock.

Once there, you will notice a tower near Falco with a slope leading up to it. 
Go up and pick up the items that were left for you. Notice how there is only 
one arrow. Remember, this is an assassination, so it's gotta be quick.

"Uh-oh! I suck at Marksman! What do I do?". Don't worry, Carnius left you a 
little present. The scroll will fortify your Marksman 100 points, Sneak 50 
points, and give you Chameleon 40-80% for sixty seconds. You have an entire 
minute to shoot one arrow, so take your time when aiming, though you should 
still save first just in case). It is a Poisoned Arrow with (Cast When Strikes) 
Poison 10 points for 10 seconds and Blind 10% for 10 seconds. It doesn't seem 
that good at first glance, but 10 points for 10 seconds means it does 10 damage 
every second for 10 seconds. Also, I think it just automatically kills him. And 
the bow is a Steel Longbow, damage 1-25. Not the best in the world, but not bad 
for a bow.

When you're ready, use the scroll on yourself and take out your bow (make sure 
to equip the arrow). When you pull out your weapon, that is Baslod's cue to 
attack. After the guards have chased him off, they don't go very far, fire at 
will. Once he's dead, make sure the guards don't see you, and make it back to 
the boat. If you hurry, the Chameleon from the scroll should give you plenty of 
time to get out of their site. But don't rely on it, it doesn't last very long. 
Tell Carnius the outcome.

In case you are curious, Falco doesn't really have anything good on him. 
Neither does Baslod. It's not worth the risk anyway.

Reward: $4,000 and an Ice Shield (unique)


===============================================================================
15c. THE GRANDE FINALE
===============================================================================

Before finishing this mission, it would be a good idea to go ahead and finish 
making any Stalhrim items you want to have. You won't be able to make them 
anymore after this mission is over.

After a few days of waiting to let the colony to crumble to peices, Carnius 
tells you that the investors haven't backed out yet. Time for something more 
drastic. He plans to dress up some Nord's as if they were from the Skaal 
Village. That way none of the blame will reach him. Take the equipment in the 
bags out in the hall, and meet Toralf to the east, along the coast.

...Except it's not quite that easy. This equipment weighs a ton. Well, 383 
pounds, to be exact. Leave everything but the essentials in the two sacks, and 
you should be fine. If not, leave the essentials as well. I did this at a 
relatively low level, and I had to drop most of my armor, and all my weapons. 
Feel free to use the items you are transporting, as long as you remember to 
unequip them when you reach your destination. Though, honestly, you shouldn't 
need to. They are located just east of the river mouth. No, it's not that first 
little inlet you see. Check your map. Yes, *that* river. Swim through the water 
if you want to avoid enemies. You'll see their little boat when you get to the 
right location.

Wait at the boat until about 8 pm, and they will all show up. Talk to Toralf, 
and he'll tell you to give the equipment to his men individually. Now, after 
giving away everyone's equipment, except for Toralf, run back to the fort to 
get your stuff back (unless you didn't have to drop your own equipment). Mark 
and Recall are helpful for this part, if you have them. Once you have all your 
stuff back, go talk to Toralf. Oops, you trusted Carnius. Your usefulness has 
ended, so he plans to dispose of you. They will automatically attack you when 
you give them all their armor (including Toralf), so use your Sujamma, etc. 
before you talk to him. They aren't too hard to take out, but since there are 
six of them, it isn't hard for them to take you out either.

I had a brilliant idea at this point. I could waste away the "Condition" on all 
the weapons and armor before I hand them out, so they won't be able to use 
them. Unfortunately, when they recieve the armor, the condition is reset (for 
some reason). Well darn... There just doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this 
mission, so I guess you'll have to do it the hard way. Sorry.

Once they are all dead, it's time to confront Carnius. He's surprised you 
lived, and once you talk to him, he immediately attacks you. So prepare before 
you talk to him. He has a very powerful (and very familiar) weapon, so watch 
out for that. But if you managed to take out the last battle, this one 
shouldn't be too bad. Just be sure to take him out quickly, because he has a 
few potions. Keep your Health high, and you should be fine. If you want to know 
his exact stats, refer to Chapter 15f.

After he's out of the way (take his weapon if you wish), speak to a terrified 
Constans Atrius, just outside of the doorway, and he will name you Factor of 
the East Empire Company.


===============================================================================
16c. FACTOR'S ESTATE
===============================================================================

Let a few days pass to allow the construction of Raven Rock to finish (you 
won't get a Journal Update this time), and talk to Constans Atrius again. He 
informs you that Carnius was planning on building himself an Estate. Since he's 
not around anymore, and the plans are already set, you get to take over from 
here. Go speak to Aldam Berendus at the colony about your Estate, and he will 
ask you where you want it.

Choose one of three locations, marked with a torch, and lead Aldam to that 
spot. Tell him you've made your decision, and leave Raven Rock. Wait/Sleep for 
about three days, and it'll be done. Ta-Dah! You now have your very own 
Factor's Estate.

                      END OF EAST EMPIRE COMPANY MISSIONS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++


===============================================================================
J. CLOSING REMARKS
===============================================================================

Well, Congratulations. You are now the leader of the East Empire Company, Raven 
Rock division. Now you can relax in your very own house, and explore the rest 
of Solstheim.

If you want to sell your EEC Stock Certificate, you can still sell it to 
Constans Atrius. It should be worth $9,000 if you sided with Falco, and $5,000 
if you sided with Carnius. That's what you get for being evil. Since it doesn't 
have any other use, go ahead and sell it. Or, if you don't need the money, put 
it in your new house as a decoration :)

This is my second FAQ. I hope it is helpful and informative.
