Detailed Walkthrough

Talk to Yanaril near the entrance to Woodhearth. Razum-dar tracked Pelidil to the city. He will only discuss his suspicions with you. Yanaril tells you he is waiting for you in the Thalmor Headquarters.

The Thalmor Headquarters are northwest of Yanaril. Razum-dar has come up with a plan to flush the Veiled Heritance out of Woodhearth. Raz will disguise himself as Queen Ayrenn to provoke the Heritance into an assassination attempt. While he gets glamorized, you should learn more about the traitors from Treethane Fariel.

Fariel says there have been rebels in the city ever since King Camoran was crowned, but they've never been found. She suspects there is a spy among the Thalmor. She spread the rumor that the queen is coming to make sure the city is safe, and will be surveying the Imperial Underground. You will be the "queen's" sole escort, and will take her to meet Asteril, a Thalmor officer Fariel suspects is the spy.

Talk to Razum-dar again, but this time he sounds and looks like Queen Ayrenn— aside from his diction, of course. He tells you he is ready to leave, and you lead the way south to the trapdoor to the Imperial Underground in a ruined tower.

"Come closer my queen. I have something for you."

"What is this?"

"A gift in memory of Prince Naemon. Vicereeve Pelidil sends his regards.
You will die, and the true king of Alinor will rise again!"

There is a flash of blinding light— both fire and smoke— and Razum-dar is thrown back into the corner. Asteril disappears while you and Raz fall unconscious for a moment. Talk to Razum-dar: he thinks she cannot have gone far and asks you to track her down while he recovers.

Head deeper into the Imperial Underground and retrieve the Orders from Vicereeve Pelidil; be wary, though, as Heritance Assassins and an officer have made a temporary camp there. Head back to Razum-dar to show him what you found. He thinks this is the Heritance's backup plan: they are going to attack Woodhearth and destroy Valenwood. Raz never thought they would have enough manpower to do so, however.

Return to the Thalmor Headquarters, and talk to Treethane Fariel. You give her the orders, and she gives you some gold.

Notes

• Razum-dar and Sanodil won't exist in the Thalmor headquarters before starting the quest.

Bugs

• There is no animation showing how Asteril makes the disguised Razum-dar collapse to his knees. ^?

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
