1. Intro
So you want to be an assassin? It's a lot
harder than it seems, you have to
have the skills and the mindset to be successful. This guide is meant to help
you work through the Morag Tong guild all
the way up to the role of the
Grandmaster. Read on and Enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------------

How to Join the Morag tong:
The Morag Tong members live in secrecy
so you'll have to find them. Head over
to the Arena canton and into the waistworks. Go into the canalworks on the
western side. Once inside, go down the stairs into the Arena Storage room.
Once there, kill the rats, and go into
the locked/trapped door. Once inside
go down the trap door, and into the secret
area. Once inside head up the
stairs, around the beds, and talk to Eno
Hlaalu he'll give you a quest to see
if you're worthy. In order to get orders
from the Morag tong you'll need to
prove yourself. You must kill Feruren Oran who is located in the Elven
Nations corner club in the Hlaalu Canton. You can get to the club via the
northwestern part of the Hlaalu waistworks. Oran is located directly in front
of you when you enter, assassinate him, and head back to Eno Hlaalu and tell
him of your success.
------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Tips on traveling and assassination
etc.
Part of the whole assassination deal is
getting to the place where the person
you're killing lives/ is located. You'll probably want an enchanted item with
levitation.
This will allow you to fly up into the sky, and get a broader
view of everything and will allow you to
get over mountains instead of going
around them (a real time saver). Levitation will also allow you to get up to
places where you can use bows and arrows
to snipe people. In many of these
quests you'll want to have the ability
to open chests with locks of over 75,
so enchant or spellmake yourself something
that will allow you to do this. In
many situations you'll be engulfed with
enemies that are slightly more
powerful than you. Make/obtain a jink item (something that paralyzes your foe
for a certain amount of time). Hit your foe with one of these until the magic
takes affect, then switch back to your
regular weapon (hopefully its
stronger), and then smack them until the
paralysis wears off, and then hit
them again with the jinkblade.
A commonly asked question is how to get
the Sanguine items, just look
everywhere when you go on special duties
and always loot people that have
writs on them.
------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Writs and Special duties
These are written in the order in which
you can get them. I also say return
to Eno after every one of these, because
that's when you get your reward. You
don't have to do each one individually
(it actually makes more sense to do all
of the ones assigned to you at a
time and then return to Eno.
Writ for Odaisha Yaslmibaal:
As Eno said, the hardest part about this
is the finding of Odiasha not the
actual assassination. Head to Sadrith Mora and then on a boat to Tel Aruhn
(you'll need to travel to Tel Mora and
then to Tel Aruhn). Swim southwest
until you reach the coast, and then find
his yurt on the peninsula (its almost
directly west of wolverine hall, a little
south). Enter his yurt and
slaughter him (he's not friendly so if
you need to summon a weapon or
something like that, do it before you enter),
and when you're done head back
to Eno.
Writ for Toris Saren:
Head out of the Storage area and to the
Redoran Plaza. Saren's manor is
located in the southern part of the plaza. You can find Toris down the trap
door near the hammock, up the ramp and
through the wooden door at the end of
the hall.
Close the door behind you and slaughter him. Pick up his weapon
(it's cool), and head back to Eno.
Writ for Sarayn Sadus:
Head to Sadrith Mora (or Tel Fry) and southwest to the Erabenimsun camp (heal
if you need to), and head northwest until
you see a steam pit. Head directly
north from the steam pit and follow the
path to Zaintirari. Enter Zaintirari,
and kill the man in front of you, continue
on and kill the Dunmer, there will
be a mage and a dunmer with a two handed
long sword down the stairs, kill them
before they kill you. Head downstairs and raid all the crates, then when
you're done go open the trap door and kill
Sadus. When you're done raiding
Sadus' room go back to Eno.
Writ for Ethal Seloth and Idroso Vendu:
Head to the Telvanni Canton in Vivec, and
then up into the Plaza, go into the
temporary housing near the northern entrance
both will be inside here. It will
be tricky because it is so crowded, but
you should be able to do away with
them.
Head back to Eno.
Special Duty: Dark Brotherhood
Comonna tong v. Morag tong! W00t w00t! Head over to the foreign quarter's
lower waistworks. Head to Miun Gei's enchantment shop, which is located in
the southern part of the lower waistworks. Ask him about the dark
brotherhood, and then bribe him some
money until he tells you his contact.
Head back to Eno and tell him about
the dark brotherhood.
Writ for Guril Retheran:
Head to the Redoran canton's waistworks,
and then to the Flowers of gold
corner club, which is located in the eastern
part of the waistworks. Guril is
located downstairs. Kill him, and head back to Eno.
Writ for Galasa Uvayn:
Head to the Hlaalu canton's waistworks,
and towards the Hlaalu Treasury, which
is located in the northern part of the
waistworks. Once you enter, go left
and down the hallway, near the entrance
to the Hlaalu records you will find
Galasa, kill her (she has a dire flameblade),
and return to Eno for your
reward.
Special duty: Belt of Sanguine Fleetness
Head to Pelagiad (Walking from Seyda Neen
is probably the fastest way to get
there.) Head to the Halfway Tavern, which
is located. Once inside of the
tavern head up the stairs and into the
unlocked reinforced door. Hrordis is
inside of this room. She won't get angry until you hit her so, feel free to
talk to her. Close the door behind you so that no one will see your crime.
Make sure you loot her body in order to
get the belt. Once you're done head
back to Eno for your reward.
Writ for Mavon Drenim:
Pretty simple, but you'll learn simplicity
is hard, Head to the Telvanni
Canton's
plaza, and into the tower (its located in the western part of the
plaza).
In the upper floor Mavon Drenim two other mages stand to kill you if
you can avoid their magic or counter it,
you should be fine, but they are
pretty powerful. It will probably suit you best to bring a few cure poison
potions and an intervention scroll. I went to the mage guild in Vivec and got
potions of reflect, cure poison, cure paralysis,
fortify endurance etc. and I
was fine.
Once they run out of magicka you'll probably kill them if you have
power.
Writ for Tirer Belvayn
Travel to Dragon Fel (taking a boat from
Sadrith Mora will probably be the
fastest way).
Take the road out of DF that points west
into Sheograd. Continue west until
you get to a fork that points DIRECTLY
SOUTHWEST, there is one that points
directly south that will bring you to the
wrong part of the coast. Once you
get to the coast, go south across the water
and past the Orethi Ancestral
Shrine until you get to Shara. Head straight
and up the ramp, then up the
stairs, kill Tirer, and collect his cool
magic items and head back to Eno.
Special duty: Movis Darys
Head to the Ald'Ruhn mages guild (you can
warp there by guild guide from
Vivec). The hardest part about this duty
is finding Movis. He usually hangs
around in the open area on the bottom floor
near the imperial cult altar. Talk
to him about joining the Morag Tong, tell
him that you know whom he is and
that if he doesn't join he will die.
Report back to Eno.
Writ on Mathyn Bemis:
Don't mess with Morag Tong... Head to the
Hlaalu Canton's canal works and into
the ancestral vaults. There will be some skeletal warriors so get ready. To
the right there is a wooden door Bemis
and 2 of his minions are there. Taking
them all on at once is basically suicide.
Try to hone in on Bemis and only
Bemis, and when he dies, teleport
out.
Writ on Brilnosu Llarys:
head to Balmora, exit through the north and head west to Hlormaren, which Eno
should've marked, on your map. You might have to do some mountain climbing
so levitate would be a nice spell to have.
Once you get there, enter through
the bottom level of the keep. Kill everyone you find on the upper and lower
floors of the keep if you can, (you can
find a glass jinksword on a female
dunmer!). If not head to the top level of the entire place (the roof).
Brilnosu is there, and she really isn't
that much of a challenge except when
she conjures greater bonewalkers, but deal
with her and they'll go away. She
has a cool spear, and a key (on the opposite
side there is a dude with some
other cool items if you kill him. If you want some more items, and want to
free slaves, go into the dome, open the
locked chest, and talk to the
Khajiits.
When you're done go to Eno.
Special Duty: Careclamo's Ultimatum
Head to Hla Oad, then north to Hlormaren,
and then to the west to the coast.
Head south until you see bridges to an
island. Go to that island, then across
another bridge to the island next to it,
Ashalmimilkal is there. Some frost
atronachs should greet you, dispose of
them and head to the stairs and kill
the stone atronach. Head into the shrine.
Kill the monster and the high elf
head across the water and down the corridor
to Careclamo. Tell him the
ultimatum.
Kill him when he denies you, take the scrolls on the table if you
want them, and head back to Eno.
Writ for Navil Lenith and Ranes Lenith:
Head to Seyda Neen, Suran, or vivec, and
make your way to the dren plantation
(It's on the big map so I shouldn't have
to give you directions). Go to
Ovras Dren's villa, and open the trapped
door down the stairs, and the trapped
door through that one. Inside is Navil and Ranes are both in this room. They
have pretty powerful weapons, but if you
can cure paralysis and heal, you are
fine. They have some good items locked
up in this room (8k in drakes, and a
bunch of Rubies and Diamonds, along with
a note from Dren!!!). When you're
done head back to Eno.
Special Duty: Ring of the Sanguine Sublime
wisdom
Head to Gnisis (Ald Ruhn Stilt Strider
probably the best way), and then head
north to Ald Velothi. Once at Ald Velothi, head west past Arkngthunch-Strdumz
(don't think spelled right). Continue past
the people at the campfire, and
then towards another group of dwemer ruins. Kill all the Atronachs, scamps,
and other enemies that you see and head
into the Yassamidan Shrine. Kill the
monster (it is random, one time I go in
and there's a dremora, and then some
alligator dude), and head down and kill
the Anel::chuckle::: Rethalas, loot
him of the ring and head back to Eno (you could continue in and fight the
monster and lady with a large sword)
Special Duty: Durus Marius at Assernerairan
W00t! w00t finally a local mission! Head over to the St Olm's canton's
waistworks, and into the canalworks. The
underworks are located through a trap
door on the floor. (you'll probably want water walking or levitate for this
part), Assnerairan is located in
the southeastern part of the underworks.
Kill the woman with the devil tanto and
then head in (it's probably a good
idea to save before you do this. If you try to come in swinging you'll
probably die, because you'll get knocked
down and burnt to a crisp by Durus
and his minions. If you walk in and let them come to you and then start
swinging or use more stealthy tactics they
should go down pretty easily. One
of his minions has a good sword and more
armor than he does. Try not to get
knocked down, because you'll get destroyed
(almost guaranteed). It's probably
good to move around while fighting because
when they all start hitting you
you'll probably find it hard to move. If you have levitate you can snipe them
from above until your spell runs out. If you want to be a sissy you can
probably just aim for him and leave and
if you want to kill the others, heal
and then go back in. Marius is located in the back and has a crossbow with
frost arrows. I like to kill them one at a time (I don't heal, I just wait
for fatigue meter to refill). If you are
fast and have levitate or good
jumping skills you can use the statue to
your advantage. Once you get rid of
him you can head back to Eno in the
arena storage area.
**** If you have completed all of these
quests you will be able to advance
enough to be able to challenge Eno for
the title of Grandmaster, or let him
retire, you don't have to do either
and can continue on and do more duties.
If you do have doubts about fighting him,
don't worry, he's fairly weak, I
just hit him with a jink blade and did
away with him with my normal weapon.
Special Duty: The dark brotherhood's night
mother Severa Magia
Head out of vivec to Ald Sotha. You can cut right across the water near the
stilt strider, heading east, and you'll
eventually g get there. Kill the
frost Atronach (and the daedroth if you
need to), and continue in until you
get to a dunmer in bone mold armor. Kill him then turn around and head toward
a female dunmer. Kill her, and then find
your way into the upper level of Ald
Sotha.
Get yourself down the northern entrance to the lower level. Once
inside, head down and take a right, Severa
and a Dremora are down here (both
have daedric weapons). When you're done head back to Eno (make sure you get
all of the scrolls on the table before
you leave, there are some good ones).
------------------------------------------------------------------
5.Grandmaster Writs
Okay, first off Grandmaster writs are writs
that are done after you are
grandmaster. You do not have to beat the game before becoming GM to do these
quests.
These writs give you a LOT of money for rewards (always in the
thousands).
To get these quests you must get the option of talking about
these people to get the writs. To get these options you have to have someone
talk to you about them in BLUE. Then you
must ask a quest giver about that
person. Here is how you get them for each
of the four writs:
Baladas: in Gnisis ask people about specific
place or someone in particular,
then talk to a quest giver.
Mistress Therena: Go to Tel Mora and ask
people about Tel Mora and they'll
tell you that it's her tower.
Larrius Varro: Talk to quest giver about
Fort Moonmoth (you'll probably have
to go to Balmora
MT guild for this one)
Dram bero: Ask around in the Hlaalu and
St Olm's quarters in Vivec and your
quest giver should be able to talk
to you about it.
Writ for Beladas:
Head to Gnisis (silt strider from Seyda
Neen or Ald Ruhn), and into Arvs-
Drelen (his tower). Head all the way to the top through the 50 lock trapped
door, up the stairs past his Daedroth. Kill him and head back to your quest
giver for your reward.
Writ for Mistress Therena:
I actually did this quest by accident
(I went on a killing spree in Tel Mora).
Head to Tel Mora and into the tower. Make your way up until your reach a room
in which there are large holes in the roof. Levitate up, find Therena, kill
her and get the heck out before her
mages come and kill you.
Writ of Larrius Varro
Head to Fort
Moonmoth, and down the stairs and into Larrius Varro's bedroom,
kill him and return to your quest
giver for your large sum of a reward.
Writ for Dram Bero:
Bero is located in the Haunted Manor in
St Olms' plaza. Head Down through the
locked doors and he'll be standing
there giving orders to another dunmer.
This might be difficult because it's a
two on one but it killing Dram will
give you a large reward.
