Detailed WalkthroughEdit

The Thunderbugs destroying Rat Nests

Juranda-ra, a moon-sugar farmer, will request your assistance. There is a Thalmor inspection coming up, and her plantation has a rat problem; if this were discovered, she would lose her plantation, because a farm defenseless against rats is also not safe from thieves, who would steal moon-sugar to create skooma. She asks you to find out why Cinder-Tail's senche-tigers haven't been fighting off the rats.

Wander across the plantation to find Cinder-Tail admonishing his three tigers, Afeh, Marapa, and Gobani—he even offers them to you as carpets. It turns out that they have actually been eating the rats and ingesting moon-sugar themselves. They've eaten a large number of rats who filled their bellies with moon-sugar before their untimely demise at the claws of the senche, making the big cats lazy. Senche who eat a lot of sugar become lazy and don't do their work. Following a train of thought, Cinder-Tail suggests that you collect Thunderbug Eggs, break them in rat nests, and let the thunderbugs kill the rats.

Find a thunderbug nest and take the eggs from it. Then, find five rat nests in which to break them, and watch as the thunderbugs kill the rats. Cinder-Tail suggests they will not attack you while you have the eggs, but this only applies to the ones lured to the rats nests.

Once you've finished, return to Juranda-ra to find her speaking with Inspector Tarma and his assistant, Haldoril, who will comment on the effectiveness of your unorthodox methods.

NotesEdit

• You can only throw eggs on one rat nest at a time. While the thunderbug attack animation is ongoing, the prompts for the other nest won't appear.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
