Nah. I don't think so.

Anyway, I don't think he'd take on anyone that isn't a dunmer.

Thank you.

Now, I believe I owe you a little more than a debt of gratitude for all that work you did.

Here... it's not much, but it's the best an old, retired miner can do.

Let me see that!

Ha, I knew it! Gratian's death wasn't because of a rockfall, it was just a story to keep people away from the tombs.

Now that I have his journal in hand, I can get some closure from the East Empire Company. Make them pay for lying to everyone.

You're back!

Please, tell me what you found.

Gratian kept a journal of notes about his discoveries. If you can find his... remains, I'm hoping it will help.

Here's everything I have. The letter, the key. Please, do this for me so I can finally regain the respect that I've lost.

I do. I want to know what happened to Gratian, and what the East Empire Company is keeping from all of us.

Look, my wife nags that I'm too old to go traipsing around these mines chasing my story.

Time's my enemy... it's caught up with me before I could find the answers that I'm looking for.

It is. Well, I assume it is. I haven't been able to find the entrance.

It describes a discovery that was made in the mine by some of the diggers. They wanted Gratian to take a closer look.

The East Empire Company must have felt it was of great value, as they locked that section of the mine off from everyone else.

My wife and I were cleaning out our home, and we came across some of my great-grandfather's things locked in an old chest.

I found an unsent letter he'd written to the East Empire Company, and a key.
