Veranus Macatus

Veranus Macatus is an Imperial guard for the Temple of Mara. He is the brother of Tertia Macatus. The Temple was attacked by bandits and the guards tracked them back to the ruins of Fort Sphinxmoth. The guards were outmatched and captured Veranus and his fellow guards, Eliana Salvius and Decanus Vulso. The Priestess of the Temple, Rafora Casca, is near the ruins looking for help to retrieve the items stolen by the bandits.

Quest-Related Events

As you approach him Veranus can be heard shouting for help.

Veranus Macatus: "Help! I'm trapped! Please, help me!"

When you talk to him, you can ask him how he got trapped as well as what else he knows about the place.

"Help me, please! I got caught in this bubble of force, or whatever you call it. Get me out!"

How did you get trapped in this thing?

"When I entered the room, the braziers were ablaze, and I … I think I stepped on a pressure tile. The brazier snuffed out, and this trap grabbed me. Maybe … if you relight the braziers?"

Can you tell me anything about this place, or the relics?

"These … ruffians definitely have the relics, but I … I don't know where.
Some of the bandits were talking about the "leader's stash," which is somewhere nearby. By and old, broken staircase, I think they said."

Did you hear anything else?

"Yes. Some of them were talking about a broken bridge and a pit where they throw unwanted prisoners. They called it "the Croc Pit", so I guess there are crocodiles in it. Be careful where you step!"

While you're lighting the braziers:

"Please, can you hurry? I don't know how much longer I can take this."

After you managed to relight the braziers he will thank you as he runs to the exit.

Veranus Macatus: "Mara bless you! I thought for sure I was going to be burned alive!"

Veranus Macatus: "I've got to get out of here. Good luck!"

After you rescued the survivors, he'll be outside the cave entrance and will gratefully say:

"You saved me from a terrible predicament.
I wish you'd been around when I accidentally dropped that slop bucket on the Khajiiti wizard."

After the quest:

"Thanks again for getting me out of that bubble of force.
I don't suppose you're coming back to Bravil with us? I feel safer with you around."
