Gweiwen, a Cat-Catcher in Stormgate Pass, reveals to you that she's looking for an escaped Argonian slave, but people refuse to help her and or talk to her at all for that matter. People in Stormgate (not Argonians, not Legion or C&E members and maybe not the inkeeper) can reveal that they saw an Argonian moving south from Stormgate.

Tilore Edralo, a poor artist in Shipal-Sharai, wants the player to steal a painting for him and replace it with a low quality fake. Current owners of the painting are the Raran family in their manor in Narsis.

Twist is the questgiver is the original artist of the painting and wants it returned after the current holder of the painting refused to pay for it.

Raran nobles proudly display the art piece but tell people it was made by a different, more famous artist.

From the rumors in Shipal-Sharai, you can discover that Sinarrius and Valoria Autrinix sometimes hear a musical instrument playing in the apartment above. They ask you to investigate the source of the haunting music (the quest topic should be added via rumors and not a greeting). The player can enter the apartment either by convincing the landlord Davenas Vedralu to give you the key (shouldn't be hard) or by lockpicking.

Synnolian Tunifus, the healer at the Imperial Chapels in Ebonheart, needs to brew some potions for the Legion. He requires you to collect some green/brown/blue beetle shells from the mainland for Fortify Endurance potions (any of them will do).
