(Note: This quest could either go in Andothren, or in Teyn in Cirifae's tradeshack - depending on if there's any felt need to add something more to do in Teyn over Andothren.)
The player might hear a line like this from latest rumours:
Nobody knows why Marobar Nerethi got kicked out of the Mages Guild. But some people believe that he put his alchemy skills to less-than-legal pursuits. Needless to say, he's not telling.
Brief questline overview: Centered in Andothren. The player encounters a wealthy eccentric, Noravyn Gilvos, who claims to be the only living descendant of a forgotten Great House Noravyn based on questionable sources, and seeks the players recruitment. Antics ensue.

The Old Ebonheart Mages Guild line contains, in my humble opinion, some of the most hilarious writing and best quest moments in TR to date. Big shoutout to Kevaar, Jani, Mort, and whoever else worked on those quests.
The gist of this quest is a rainbow that moves with you, and either has an ugly horrible monster at the end of it (instead of a pot of gold—the rainbow only stops moving at a Daedric shrine or something), or Daedra keep attacking you if you don’t try to move toward it. Something Mephala or Sheogorath quest, supposed to come across as horror despite the cheery rainbow. Overall, a fey-like theme.
Questgiver is someone of high ranking and/or a noble in Almas Thirr. Either can be a pre-existing NPC (preferrably one that isn't tied directly to a pre-existing quest) or can be an NPC created for this quest.
This is just a very basic idea for a quest that is very subject to change - I know there are many problems with it, but I need help fleshing it out and making it feel more dynamic and well-crafted. While I am perfectly willing to do any and all writing and quest design for the project, I unfortunately do not have the skills required to actually program the quest or make any assets for it.
