Detailed WalkthroughEdit

King Casimir appreciates Captain Aresin's efforts in preventing the assassination

As soon as you finish the previous quest, Captain Aresin tells you to go to the harbor and find the Bloodthorn assassins. Before you do, however, he asks you to tell the harbormaster, Sasana at-Abbas, about the situation with the assassins. The harbor is just west of the Rosy Lion. Run down all the stairs and turn north and continue onto the path at the bottom. Talk to Sasana at the storage area. She seems taken aback by the idea that assassins are hiding in her port, and gives you full permission to search the premises.

Leave the storage area and head southwest down the path. There is suspicious Cargo all over the docks. There are two on the far end of the docks by the lighthouse, one next to the lighthouse, one on the edge of the pavement overlooking the docks, and several on the two ships docked in the harbor, The Hotspur and The Lydia. The ships have the most cargo on them, and The Lydia is closest to the castle. You need to break crates of Suspicious Cargo to find a Bloodthorn Assassin, whom you will have to kill. When you find one, she will tell you that Verrik is already on his way to assassinate King Casimir. Once you've killed an assassin, head out of the Harbor District, climb the stairs and head back towards the castle. Enter the castle and walk towards King Casimir's throne. When you get close, Bloodthorn Assassins will appear. They respawn infinitely, so there's no point in killing them. You need to cut the head off of the snake.

Follow the king north through the doorway and up the stairs. At the top you'll be attacked by Verrik, the leader of the group of assassins. Watch out for his spinning attack and remember to block. When he is dead, talk to King Casimir for your reward.

NotesEdit

• If you open the wrong crate, you will either find cargo (such as a sack of flour, a pot with handles, or a stack of books) or a Khajiit/Argonian Stowaway.

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.
