Material Matters, a quest given by the Andothren smith, Ulran Teryon: he greets you, a stranger, with a confession that he's sold a bad merchandise that's probably led the buyer to death. I suggest to at least gate this greeting to a certain level of disposition (70?).

A longer alternative would be to start the quest by introducing the quest topic in general city greetings (for ex. "Our local smith, Ulran Teryon, keeps asking about a certain western crusader. He seems concerned but doesn't tell why".)
