Investigations at Tel Eurus
by the Dreamy Dreamers team
Billyfighter, Katya, Markond, Ruffin Vangarr


Description:
==================================================================================
Far out to sea there is a chain of floating islands of possible Dwemer origin.
This has proven to be too tempting an opportunity for Master Eurus of House
Telvanni, founding a frontier settlement on one of the largest clusters of these
islands.

Tel Eurus was built and grown in cooperation between House Telvanni and a prominent
Sloadic trading company, with some generous financiers from House Dres and House
Hlaalu. Expensive goods now flow freely through Tel Eurus through sloadic airship
routes; slaves, minerals and crystals mined from the islands, alchemy reagents,
necromantic lore, art, Dwemer artifacts, and ebony.

Until recently this operation ran without interference. The Sload refused Temple
Ordinators passage on their ships to pursue the open and unashamed necromantic
practices there, and the Imperials cannot even find them never mind tax them. Now
they are suffering a series of attacks from within, Master Eurus eyeing his allies
with suspicion, seeking an investigator to find who or what is behind the
misfortune that has befallen his domain.

The quest is approximately two to three hours long, with a strong emphasis on
observation and investigation in the style of older adventure/point and click
RPGs. To travel there, you can go to Tel Branora for airship. (Additional travel
through Sadrith Mora opens shortly after.)

Installing/Uninstalling:
==================================================================================
If not using a mod manager, place files directly into Data Files.

File/paths included:

- BookArt, Icons, Meshes, Sound, and Textures all contain files within a folder
named "TE"
- Sound/Vo/Skeleton
- Tel Eurus.ESP

Instead of deleting the entire folders when uninstalling, make sure no other mods
use the "TE" folders for assets.

If you're using OpenMW, there is an OpenMW icon folder, use these to overwrite
the original icons for a higher quality icon pack.

Notes:
==================================================================================
!!!SPOILERS!!!

For starting the lead quests, you need to find a specific item to start each one.

Must start the quest with Draven first.

Astoria always helps guide you on what to do next!

Starting each investigation quest:

Lead 1: Crumpled Note in Barele Ulomion's Residence.
Lead 2: Broken Glass in the broken crate in the underground marketplace slave
market.
Lead 3: Pile of slave bracers, just down the tunnel from the underground
marketplace slave market.
Lead 4: The mask on the middle of the table of the middle room in the Chamber of
Engineering (inside the marketplace, must of seen the saboteur and reported to
Draven first.)
Lead 5: Jar of acid, just outside the Dwemer ruins back entrance.
Lead 6: Halfman's head, tucked between some rocks in the underground marketplace
slave market.

Hints on harder quests:

Clearing Astoria: Check the docks for a newly arrives fisherman. (Only appears
after certain progress)
Clearing Rinora: Find the note in M'nenshka's Alchemical Lab (Only appears after
certain progress)
Clearing N'negius: Find the journal in his lab, give it to Draven for translation.
Clearing M'nenshka: Ask Mr. Grumbo to find out you need to summon an undead
infront of her.

Book of Riddles: Suuman only finishes translation when all the investigation
quests are completed. Keep asking Astoria what to do next.
