A looters' turf war brews in Bthangthamuzand. Quest Giver: Jeras Ticedo or Bugdul gro-Gulfis Location(s): Bthangthamuzand Reward: 200-500 gold ID: TR_m2_Wil_RuinOfStrife

The contested ruins of Bthangthamuzand

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Jeras Ticedo OR Bugdul gro-Gulfis in Bthangthamuzand.
2. Either:
   • Kill Bugdol's group for 200 gold from Jeras.
   • Kill Jeras's group for 500 gold from Bugdol.
   • Locate the factory and tell Bugdol/Jeras about it (turns them hostile).

Detailed Walkthrough

On entering the ruins of Bthangthamuzand it will become clear that looters have already beaten you to it. An uneasy stalemate has set in between the two groups, with an Orc group being outside the ruins, across the bridge, and a non-Orc group within the ruins. To begin the quest, you need to volunteer your services to either leader. Bugdul is easy to find, being outside the ruins on the west side. Jeras is deep within the entrance hall, in a chamber in the southwest corner.

If you offer to help Jeras clear the Orcs, he will direct you to speak with Nedheleg, a Bosmer standing near the exit to the outside. The Bosmer will provide you with some assistance during the battle against the Orc group. Return to Jeras for the reward.

Offering to help Bugdul has much the same result, but with a greater reward (not least as Jeras's group carries generally more valuable equipment). You will have three orcs assisting you in the fight however, as opposed to one Bosmer.

You may also choose to locate the factory. To reach this, enter the main room of the entrance hall. The western door on the lower level leads to a corridor. Go left down this corridor into the flooded section. A dark hole in this section leads through to the factory. Revealing its location to either looter leader will turn them and their group hostile to you.
