Ervasi Balvel, rolling in his ancestral grave

Quick WalkthroughEdit

1. Speak to Ethasi Balvel in her Sailen house, and ask her about her 'background', with 60+ disposition.
   • Alternatively, speak to the Argonian, Lati-An in Duram Balvel's house in Evos (south of both Sailen and Fort Umbermoth).
2. Enter the basement of Duram Balvel's house and speak to Duram.
3. Enter the Balvel Ancestral Tomb, south of Evos, using the Balvel Ring.
4. Speak to Ervasi Balvel, in the tomb.
   • Aggressiveness (e.g. 'deal with you') will turn the residents of the tomb hostile. Defeat them for a 250 gold reward from Duram.
   • Offering to help the Balvel family will see you ordered to kill Lati-An. Ervasi will reward you with the Amulet of Rectitude for this.
   • Speaking of the love for the Tribunal will persuade Ervasi to leave the lovers be. Duram will reward you with 250 gold and a Steel Jinkblade.

NotesEdit

In some older builds, Lati-An was Latiana, an Imperial slave. This was changed in part due to the lack of Imperial slaves elsewhere in Morrowind.
