Detailed WalkthroughEdit
Speaker Terenus has a task for you. He needs you to kill someone. That "someone" will be one of the following individuals, whose numbers on this list correspond to their numbered locations on the map provided:
- Tebeba, a Khajiit who's stolen a valuable heirloom
- Mabgrolabesh, an Orc forge-wife who was involved with a botched murder attempt
- Nalosi Orethi, a Dunmer slaver
- Rinweril, a young Altmer who's committed adultery
- Steidor, a Nord who is an abusive drunk
- Geon Alinie, a Breton chronicler hot on the Brotherhood's heels
- Monsashana, a Redguard who refused to sell her mill to a rival business
Speaker Terenus will likely have given you several tasks to complete while you're in the cove. Your first objective is to either kill a secondary mark or destroy something of note within the Cove. The special item will be either a special Mead Formula or an Engraved Flute. The secondary objective is available as a challenge, and if you are seen killing a secondary target or destroying a secondary objective-related item, you will incur a bounty.
The Engraved Flute has a few locations that it can be [verification needed — was its location instead changed?], the closest of which being fairly close to the entrance. When you reach the entrance of the cove proper, go straight up the hill and turn left, the Engraved Flute sitting by the wooden bridge— if it isn't there, then it can be found behind the bar, across the northernmost bridge.
The Mead Formula will be located in a secret chamber hidden behind a hanging tapestry. To get to it, head up the hill past the entrance tunnel and make a right at the tunnel past the bar. Make another right to continue through the tunnel, and when you get to the crossroads, turn right again. Head into the back of that room and the mead formula will be on a nightstand next to the bed. It is marked on the map provided with a scroll icon.
Your tertiary objective will be to either:
- Murder your target with a poison equipped on the weapon slot you have active when you make the kill, or
- Kill your target with the Blade of Woe.
Finally, you'll want to escape Trader's Cove in under two minutes after the kill. Stepping into the entrance area counts as escaping the area. You do not have to actually exit the zone for the game to count you as having "escaped". As long as you make it to the ladder room, you're good. Climb the ladder when you're ready to leave and speak with Terenus for your reward.

- 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.
