Detailed Walkthrough

'Ten-Tongues' Weerhat in the Pawnbroker's shop in the Great Bazaar will offer you some special offers on cheap wares. Ask him why the wares are so cheap and, if his disposition is high enough, he'll tell you that he gets them from Ahnia in the sewers. Ahnia can be found just inside the sewers in the southeast corner of the Great Bazaar, standing next to an unsigned note on the ground mentioning a particular book. If you try to read the note or mention Weerhat to her, she'll attack you. Kill her and take the note. Confront Weerhat about the late Ahnia and he will confess that she also gave him a stolen book which he will pass onto you. The book is not decipherable, but you do recognize the name Elbert Nermarc from it.

Elbert Nermarc is the enchanter working on the top floor of the Craftsmen's Hall in the Godsreach district. Talk to him about the stolen book and he'll gladly accept it back, saying it has a number of important formulas in it. As a reward for returning the book he'll offer you a small discount on anything he sells.

Notes

• While Ahnia is in the sewers even before starting the quest, the note to Ahnia will not appear next to her until Weerhat tells about her location in the sewers.
• After finishing the quest, it's possible to buy the book back from Elbert.
• It's possible to get two copies of Elbert's notes: pickpocket it from Ten-Tongues before beginning the quest, then complete it as usual. The game will add another copy to your inventory upon completion without checking to see if you've already acquired it. After returning the stolen book, you can buy it back to get the second copy.
• You don't need to have the book in your inventory to complete the quest.
• Killing Ahnia will, of course, stop the flow of goods for Ten-Tongues's "special offers". You may want to weigh up which is better for you - his scrolls or Elbert's wares. As long as she is alive, Ten-Tongues sells three types of spell scroll for 60 drakes each: Scroll of Hellfire, Scroll of Illnea's Breath, and Scroll of The Fifth Barrier.
• In addition to the Disposition increase, the reduction in Nermarc's prices is achieved by lowering his Mercantile skill to 5.
• Talking to Weerhat after completing the quest will set his base Disposition toward you to 40, even if it was lower than that before.
