My character followed Tholer Andas' instructions throughout the questline (excluding killing the nightblade during Reverse Rescue) and I recieved a "Belt of Wisdom" which seems like an item I could find anywhere and does not provide much satisfaction after the hours of playing.

Additionally, I was unable to show Tholer or Uvys the coup note before or after Milns Lloran was captured, which felt strange, and Tholer mentioned I was not divulging information that I should have (either untrue or unable to do so).
