Trivra Andoril's Manor in Llothanis

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Trivra Andoril in her Llothanis manor.
2. Speak to the Cultist of Boethiah, at the shrine south of Llothanis. Either:
   • Kill the cultist.
   • Bring the Axe of Boethiah's Cleaving to the cultist.
   • Kill Sethan.
3. If Sethan lives, bring him back to Trivra for 250 gold.

Detailed Walkthrough

The Andoril Manor can be found at the far western end of Llothanis. Inside, you will find Trivra Andoril, who rather panickedly states that her husband has been abducted by cultists of Boethiah. She asks you to visit the shrine to Boethiah, south of town, and bring him back.

To get to the shrine, get to the road that runs to the south of Llothanis, and follow it southeast until a path branches off into the hills on the right. Follow that path to reach the shrine. You will find a mute Sethan Andoril and a cultist of Boethiah at the shrine. Speak to the cultist, and he will demand that you retrieve an axe from Trivra.

You can kill the cultist here and now, and be rewarded with the Axe of Boethiah for your troubles. Alternatively, return to Trivra Andoril and tell her the cultist's demands. She will give you the Axe of Boethiah's Cleaving to return to the cultist. Return it, and the cultist will become offended - he claims the axe is fake - and begins to attack Sethan.

You can kill him there, and again will receive the Axe of Boethiah for your troubles. Alternatively, you can watch 'Sethan' be killed. After a few blows, the cultist (posing as Sethan and influencing the real Sethan to attack him with a command spell) will realize that you aren't going to intervene. He will stop Sethan's heart and teleport away. You will receive no reward for this outcome.

As a final alternative, you can attack 'Sethan'. This initiates combat, as all identities are revealed. Win, and the true Sethan will ask that you escort him back to his wife. Doing this will see you rewarded with 215 gold. If you are of the thieving persuasion, this route can be the most profitable, as it removes Trivra from her room, with all the very valuable things in it being left unattended.

Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		Trivra Andoril has informed me that her husband, Sethan Andoril, was abducted by daedric cultists dedicated to Boethiah. She has no idea what they want, but knows they took her husband to the small shrine that is on a high hill just south of Llothanis. I can find the shrine by following the road out of town to the south.
20		I have encountered the cultist of Boethiah who is holding Trivra Andoril's husband captive. He spoke slowly and deliberately, but informed me that Trivra has an axe sacred to Boethiah and he has agreed to return Sethan in exchange for the axe.
30		I have taken the axe sacred to Boethiah. There is nothing to do now but take it to the cultist and try to bargain for Sethan Andoril's life.
40		After realizing that the "cultist" was really Sethan Andoril and the Dunmer who appeared to be "Sethan Andoril" was really the cultist, I slew the real cultist. Sethan Andoril then came out of a trance and thanked me. I need to escort him back to his manor.
100	Finishes quest	I have been tricked! I slew the "cultist" who appeared to be holding "Sethan Andoril" prisoner, only to be told by "Sethan Andoril" that I have just slain the real Sethan, while he is the real cultist. In addition he claims that Trivra was complicit in this plot all along and contacted the cult!
101	Finishes quest	When I tried to talk to the "cultist" again he became impatient and attacked "Sethan Andoril." When I did not intervene "Sethan" laughed and congratulated me on seeing through the ruse. He then explained that he was the real cultist and the "cultist" was really Sethan Andoril under his complete control. The cultist then murdered the real Sethan and explained that Trivra had been complicit in the plot all along.
