The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind Hints

Rescue Varvur Sarethi

  • 1 of 10: Athyn Sarethi is in his manor in Ald'ruhn's Manor District. You can start on his quest series once you're a Kinsman and have been recommended to him to become your house sponsor for further advancement.
  • 2 of 10: Also, you'll get this one particular quest if you're not a Great House Redoran member when you do the Redoran Hortator quest in the main quest series.
  • 3 of 10: Varvur's being held in Venim Manor, which is also in Ald'ruhn's Manor District.
  • 4 of 10: Look in the Right Wing area.
  • 5 of 10: He's behind a locked door that's hidden behind a large hanging tapestry.
  • 6 of 10: You can find a key to the door sitting on a piece of paper on a nearby bench. Since there's a guard close by, you'll have to go into Sneak mode to steal the key.
  • 7 of 10: Once past the hidden door, talk to Varvur to get him to follow you, and then make your way back to the manor entrance and then outside.
  • 8 of 10: The guards in the manor will attack when they see Varvur, so you'll want to be prepared to cast a non-harmful spell on them (Calm, Control Humanoid, or Sleep).
  • 9 of 10: That's very hard to pull off, especially since Varvur will insist on fighting them even if they're calmed, so you might want to taunt-kill all the people in the manor between Varvur and the exit into fighting you *before* you talk to Varvur. (See my Advanced Taunting Tips if you need help with this.) Once the path is clear, go get him and leave.
  • 10 of 10: You're free from attack once you exit Venim Manor. Make your way to Sarethi Manor and report in to Athyn Sarethi to get him to be your house sponsor (or gain his vote for Redoran Hortator if you're doing that quest).
