Detailed WalkthroughEdit

A hostage situation is unfolding at the nearby village of Marav. Reymanus Pelelius asks that you resolve the situation peacefully and ensure that the Reeve, Keitius Nobius, is unharmed.

To reach Marav, leave Anvil via its main gate, cross the bridge over the river, and then take the dirt path to the left of the shrine near the bridge's end. Turn right at the next fork, and you'll enter the village. Once there, speak to Jada Petralius outside of the Nobius Residence about the hostage situation. She'll allow you to enter the house. Speak to Keitius inside. He asks that you back to Reymanus and ask for a subsidy for the villagers.

Go to Reymanus. He doesn't like the idea of a continual subsidy, but does approve a one-time investment. He instructs you to speak to a new arrival in the city, Cularyia, and asks you to extract a 300 gold arrival tax from her. You can alternatively just speak to Jada to give her 300 of your own gold, but if you wish to hit up Cularyia, you'll find her in the West Wind Suites on the north side of the Marina Quarter. With some displeasure, she'll pay you the demanded 300 gold.

Once the money is in Jada's hands, the hostage situation will be resolved. You can speak to Reymanus for a reward.

NotesEdit

• Reymanus Pelelius disappears from his manor between 11pm and 8am, and so cannot be spoken to there between those times - see Well Met By Moonlight for details.
• You can alternatively murder Keitius in his residence, and pin the crime on the villagers by speaking to Reymanus - in this case, two of them - Jada Petralius and Dro'Nir - will be removed from the game. You receive no reward for doing things this way.
• Peaceable resolution of this situation unlocks a new Abecean Monitor article - MARAV STRIKE SETTLED PEACEFULLY.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Reymanus Pelelius informed me that there is a hostage situation ongoing in Marav. Keitius Nobius, the Reeve there, is being held in his home by several of the village's farmers to protest the import of saltrice from Morrowind. I am to travel to Marav, make sure Keitius is unharmed, and resolve the situation peacefully.
20		I spoke with Jada Petralius, one of the villagers holding Keitius Nobius hostage. While she won't release Keitius until all of the farmers' livelihoods are assured, she is allowing me inside his house to speak with him.
30		Keitius Nobius is unharmed, although he is being prevented from leaving his house. He sympathizes with the villagers holding him hostage and believes the financial situation in Marav has become untenable. To resolve the problem, he suggested asking Reymanus for a subsidy.
40		Reymanus does not believe a subsidy for the villagers would be viable long-term. He instead suggests a one-time investment of 300 septims funded through a tax on Cularyia, a High Elf merchant who has recently arrived from Wayrest. Cularyia is currently lodging in the Marina's West Wind Suites.
50		I offered Jada Petralius the investment. She accepted it and agreed to release Keitius Nobius.
