The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
The Great Divide
1 of 9: This quest has to do with the odd town of Split (location 38 on the world map).
2 of 9: Jastira Nanus should approach you and talk to you soon after you arrive. If not, look around for someone else to talk to.
3 of 9: You'll be referred to Horkvir Bear-Arm, so find one of the two guys with that name and talk to him.
4 of 9: When you talk to one of the Horkvirs about the doubles, he'll ask you to kill off all of the doubles on the "other side."
5 of 9: Accept one of the Horkvirs' offers, then check your local area map to see quest markers pointing at all of the "other side" doubles that you need to kill.
6 of 9: You'll need to do it sneakily, perhaps attacking them in their homes at night, in order to avoid a bounty.
7 of 9: You also need to make sure that none of the doubles on the side that you're working for get killed by anything at all, including you, a summoned ally, creatures that run into town and start attacking people, etc.
8 of 9: Also, make sure no one at all dies in Split before you commit to a side. This can sometimes be impossible due to creatures appearing and attacking the town out of nowhere, and residents dying mysteriously from no apparent cause -- the journal entry for it just comes up all of a sudden.
9 of 9: If you can manage to kill off all of the doubles that you're supposed to without anything happening to the others, you can report to the surviving Horkvir to get your reward of a leveled amount of gold.
