Detailed WalkthroughEdit

Carnius MagiusEdit

Speak to Carnius Magius

To start out with the East Empire Company Quests, find and speak to Carnius Magius at the top of the Imperial Cult shrine in Fort Frostmoth. Speak to him about the East Empire Company and he offers to let you join up, assuming that you meet the requirements of 30 Personality and 30 Willpower.

First AssignmentEdit

Ask Carnius about your assignment to receive your first job. The first workers have apparently just arrived and need an escort to the work site. They know the way, but want safety, so you have to lead them and ensure that they all arrive. Speak with Gidar Verothan on the docks south of the fort and escort him, Gamin Girith, and Sabinus Oranius to Falco Galenus in Raven Rock.

The EscortEdit

Find the workers down on the docks and speak with Gidar as you were told. Gidar will ask if you are ready and tell you to take the lead, marking the destination, Raven Rock, on your map. Raven Rock is in the Hirstaang Forest, at the north end of a bay to the west of the fort. There aren't any roads to the area, but Basks-In-The-Sun (the Argonian on the docks) provides fast travel to the shoreline there. If you really want to escort the NPCs over land, take your time and be sure you don't lose any of them. Also be careful when fighting enemies as the three will try to help you and will get in the way. When you see danger ahead, it is best to tell the workers to wait, and then you can do the fight. Then tell them again to follow you until they arrive.

Falco GalenusEdit

After you get to Raven Rock, locate Falco Galenus (he'll be northeast of the torches along the shore). Once you get near Falco the three will stop following you. Talk to Falco and he asks you to retrieve four samples of ebony ore and gives you a piece as an example. Carnius needs the ore to convince investors to continue funding the construction of Raven Rock. Your task of finding four pieces isn't particularly hard as there are some ebony deposits within sight just to the north of Falco. You can find four pieces in the three deposits there. Once you have found four more pieces, bring them back to Carnius.

Carnius MagiusEdit

You can use Divine Intervention to return instantly to Fort Frostmoth—otherwise you'll have to walk back. Give Carnius the five pieces of ebony and he will reward you with 100 gold and an EEC Stock Certificate. He asks you to return for your next assignment in three days. The certificate's value goes up during the course of the questline, so after a few more East Empire Company quests, it will be worth more than 100 gold (see the quests page for more information).

NotesEdit

• Don't talk to Carnius until you've completed everything listed in the walkthrough. Each time you do will cause his disposition towards you to drop five points.
• If any of the prospective miners die during their trip, you will be expelled from the East Empire Company when asking Falco or Carnius for an assignment. You can still get back in, though.
