Herrius Thimistrel informed me that Prince Enman Septim has come to Anvil on vacation and is currently visiting the Saint Amiel Officers' Club. He wants me to take advantage of the Prince's arrival by making a deal with him: I am to offer him the protection of the Vampyrum Order in exchange for him getting the Empire to look away while Herrius executes his coup.

Enman Septim was wary of the deal I offered. He requested that I first prove my good intentions and the Order's effectiveness at protection by dealing with a shady-looking Nord in the Abecette fight pit who he believes has been following him.

Filhallil, the bet manager at the Abecette fight pit, told me that he had once gone out drinking with Slaffid Somber-Cleaver, the shady-looking Nord who Enman Septim believed was following him. When the two of them parted ways and Slaffid went back to his room at the Albatross Apartments by the canal in Little Arenthia, he made sure that Filhallil couldn't see inside.
