Index Finishes Quest Journal Entry
10I was tasked with investigating a ghost haunting the smithy of Padulius Voltandus, just across from the Chapel of Zenithar.
15Padulius Voltandus wanted me to see the ghost myself in his room above the smithy before he would explain anything.
20The ghost haunting the smithy spoke these words: "Padulius Voltandus, your handiwork failed me in Sael-Hla."
30Padulius Voltandus explained that he sold shoddy equipment to a young adventurer, Ossic Malance, years ago when he first opened his smithy. The young man died because of it and has now returned as a ghost haunting the smithy. To placate the spirit of Ossic Malance, he gave me a silver longsword and an Imperial gold helm to leave on his remains in the cave of Sael-Hla.
40I found Ossic Malance's remains in Sael-Hla and left the silver longsword and Imperial gold helm with them. His ghost appeared and accepted the offering.
50Padulius Voltandus confirmed that the ghost of Ossic Malance had departed.
100Finishes quest☑Plutus Ceno was pleased that I had appeased the ghost that was haunting the smithy.
110Finishes quest☑Plutus Ceno was furious that I killed Padulius Voltandus and expelled me from the Imperial Cult.
