Detailed Walkthrough

Business

Edryno Arethi in her house on the Hlaalu Waistworks in Vivec will ask you to recover a Daedric Wakizashi from the sunken Prelude Shipwreck, east of Bal Fell.

Finding the Blade

The wreck is on the third island due east of Bal Fell. The blade can be found on its lower level in a locked chest. Don't forget to check the rest of the wreck for loot, which you can keep.

Return to Vivec

Return to Arethi in Vivec with the blade to complete the quest and receive 500 gold.

Notes

• After the quest, killing or pickpocketing Arethi will yield the blade.
• You can only finish the quest by returning the exact blade she requests. A regular Daedric Wakizashi will not do.
• The ship's cabin has a level 40 lock on the inside, meaning if you can't pick it, you're stuck. The key is on the body of the Captain in the ship's lower level, so if you have low Security, find the key first, or prepare a Mark/Recall or any intervention spell in advance.
  • PC Only This bug is fixed by the Morrowind Patch Project.

Bugs

• It is illegal to rest on board the Prelude.
