Detailed Walkthrough

Special Flowers for the Lady

Once you've completed the leaflets quest for the alchemist Aurane Frernis, who has a store in the Lower Waistworks level of Vivec's Foreign Quarter, she will ask you to travel to the nearby Daedric shrine of Ald Sotha to collect five rare Roland's Tears.

Gold Kanet/Roland's Tear

Roland's Tear

The flowers are identical in appearance to the common Gold Kanet, a dark yellow flower with small, rounded petals (so you'll need to activate the plant and hover over or select the contents to determine if it's a normal Gold Kanet plant or a Roland's Tear variety).

Collecting the Samples

The shrine is northeast of Vivec and abounds with Gold Kanet, though the Roland's Tears are more difficult to find. In particular, the Tears grow towards the east side of the ruin, though there are several others scattered about as well. Seven flowers are obtainable from a clump growing beneath a tree directly east of the entrance to the shrine—there are four plants, one of which provides three flowers, and one flower lying on the ground between the plants.

Return to Frernis with five Roland's Tears to receive a reward of a potion of Luck.
