Narus Hermalian now resides in Sadrith Mora

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Gindaman at the Firewatch Guild of Mages about Narus Hermalian.
2. Go to Sadrith Mora and convince Narus Hermalian to spy for the Mages Guild by either:
   • Killing Endar Drenim in Tel Naga's Upper Tower and returning to Narus.
   • Threatening to kill Narus Hermalian while at level 10 or more (after trying to recruit him).
3. Report back to Gindaman.

Detailed Walkthrough

The spy who fled the guildhall in Counterintelligence, Narus Hermalian, has resurfaced in Sadrith Mora. Gindaman sees this individual as weak-willed, and wishes you to subvert him into a double agent, reporting to the Guild on House Telvanni activities.

Travel to Sadrith Mora (there is a boat that can take you directly there from Firewatch). Narus Hermalian is outside the Telvanni Council House on Sadrith Mora's northwestern edge, standing by the bridge to it. Talk to him about the Narus Hermalian. He won't be too happy that the Mages Guild have found him, and will ask if you are here to kill him. Instead say that you are here to make him an offer. He'll acknowledge the weakness of his position in House Telvanni, and promise to be Gindaman's double agent if you help secure it - by killing an overly watchful member of the house, Endar Drenim.

If you are level 10 or more, you can instead threaten to kill him at this point, and he will cave. Otherwise, you will have to accept his offer and murder Endar Drenim in the Upper Tower of Tel Naga, Sadrith Mora's central tower. Once the killing is complete, return to Narus to let him know. He'll agree to inform on the Telvanni, and you may return to Gindaman to report the good news.

(You can alternatively actually kill Narus and return to Gindaman to complete the quest, but this will infuriate Gindaman and result in no reward.)
