Objectives in order

Journal entry

A fighter in Shor's Stone has been rumored to have been causing trouble by trying to start fights with anyone who passes by. I should see if there's a way to get him to stop being such a nuisance.

Speak to the fighter in Shor's Stone

Journal entry

I accepted Azadi's challenge in Shor's Stone, and must now defeat him in an unarmed brawl. Perhaps if I beat some sense into him, he will go someplace else.

Defeat Azadi in an unarmed brawl

Journal entry

I defeated Azadi in an unarmed brawl. After the fight, he handed me a note, and then vanished into thin air. I should read what the note has to say.

Read Azadi's note

Journal entry

Azadi's note was mysterious, only saying that "they" would somehow contact me. I should expect to receive a letter from a courier soon.

Wait to be contacted by courier

Journal entry

I received a letter from someone named Fijeh by courier. I should read what it has to say.

Read Fijeh's letter

Journal entry

I received a letter from Fijeh, who seemed to know about my encounter with Azadi. Fijeh and Azadi are members of a secretive group of spies and warriors from Hammerfell called the Remnants. Fijeh is trying to rescue a fellow Remnant that was captured by the Thalmor, aided by a Thalmor sympathizer. Fijeh would like my assistance in helping track down his brother in arms. He asked to meet in Purewater Run, in the hills near Markarth.

Travel to Purewater Run

Talk to Fijeh

Journal entry

I met Fijeh in Purewater Run. He handed me a set of instructions detailing the next step of the mission to rescue Rakeed.

Read Fijeh's instructions

Journal entry

Fijeh has requested that I gather intelligence about the whereabouts of the captured Remnant from two spies, in Karthwasten and Ivarstead, by speaking a special phrase to them: "The ravens take flight once more."

Find the Remnant spy behind the Miner's Barracks in Karthwasten

Find the Remnant spy in front of Vilemyr Inn in Ivarstead

Journal entry

I spoke the secret phrase to Josla, a Remnant spy in Karthwasten. She handed me a note that should contain information about the whereabouts of the captured Remnant.

Read Josla's note

Journal entry

After speaking to a Remnant spy, I learned that Rakeed will be transported through Skyrim very soon under heavy Thalmor guard by caravan, along with the Hammerfell noble that aided in his capture. Their destination is the city of Blacklight in Morrowind. I should seek out the spy in Ivarstead to learn more.

Journal entry

I spoke the secret phrase to Sirayar, a Remnant spy in Ivarstead. He handed me a note that should contain information about the whereabouts of the captured Remnant.

Read Sirayar's note

Journal entry

After speaking to a Remnant spy, I learned that Rakeed will be transported to Morrowind through Skyrim by crossing the border to the southwest from Hammerfell, and should be traveling the road near Sunderstone Gorge. I should seek out the spy in Karthwasten to learn more.

Journal entry

I have gathered information from both of the Remnant spies that reside in Skyrim. It seems that the Thalmor will be transporting Rakeed to Morrowind very soon, crossing the border into Skyrim from the southwest and traveling the road near Sunderstone Gorge. I should return to Purewater Run and discuss the next step with Fijeh.

Return to Fijeh

Journal entry

Fijeh has handed me a key to the Remnant supply chest. We plan to attack Ismal's caravan as soon as everyone is gathered at the attack location. Alternatively, I can approach the caravan and get the job done myself.

Obtain the Remnant equipment from the supply chest

Join the Remnant warriors to begin the assault

Approach the caravan alone

Journal entry

I've begun my assault on Ismal's caravan in my attempt to free Rakeed.

Free the hostage

Journal entry

I met the Remnant warriors near Ismal's caravan. We now need to find Rakeed and free him from the Thalmor.

Journal entry

Rakeed has been rescued from the Thalmor caravan. I should speak to Fijeh one last time now that the mission is complete.

Return to Fijeh

Journal entry

Fijeh thanked me and paid me for my efforts. And with that, Fijeh cast an invisibility spell and disappeared along with Rakeed. I searched the supply chest that Fijeh gave me a key to unlock, and discovered a set of Remnant weapons and armor.
