Section 1 :: Message from the Author
=============================================================================
I'd firstly like to thank you for reading my first ever FAQ. Now enough of
all the mushy stuff, and on to the actual message. This FAQ was done for
Bloodmoon 1.6.1820, and was written from my own experience in the game. This
is just a walkthrough for Falco Galenus's quests for the East Empire Company
after you choose to aid him at the 'crossroads' event, none of the quests in
which you are nuetral with Carnius and Falco. Things that I highly suggest
for these quests are Mark and Recall spells, or items enchanted with these
effects. These will greatly ease the amount of traveling you have to do, and
I will be writing this as if you have them. I'd also like to note that my
titles for the quests are taken straight from the Quests function in your
journal. As I stated before, this is my first FAQ, so I'm well open to
comments and suggestions. If you wish to contact me, see the bottom section
of this FAQ.

Section 2 :: Version History
=============================================================================
Version 1.0: 12/2/03 First version, everything complete.
Version 1.1: 12/16/03 Made a note on the 'Race Against the Clock' quest after
recieving an email.

Section 3 :: Walkthrough
=============================================================================
Now we get away from that junk and get to the good part, eh?
=============================================================================
3.1 :: Setting up Shop
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you he has to make a tough decision between making a trader
or a blacksmith shop. Take some time and think about each, and ask the
colonists for their thought. I chose a trading outpost because the majority
of the colony seemed to want one, and I also wanted one myself, but you
choose your own. When you've decided, inform Falco of your decision, and cast
Mark near him. Now take the boat to Fort Frostmoth and tell Carnius what's
going on. Cast Recall and talk to Falco. Now rest a couple days until your
journal updates. Talk to Falco, and you're free to check out the new shop
in town.
=============================================================================
3.2 :: Supply Route Problems
=============================================================================
If you talk to Falco, he'll tell you that a supply ship has arrived, but the
captain drank a little bit too much vodka and refuses to leave without extra
payment. Go down and talk to him. You'll notice that when you talk about
Elberoth he'll say things like 'he can take you down anyday', so go back and
report to Falco. He'll tell you to talk to Apronia, so do so, and she'll give
you Elberoth's Saber. Go back down to the captain, equip the saber, and draw
it. Now talk to him and see what he has to say. Report back to Falco.
=============================================================================
3.3 :: To Catch a Thief
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you that ore has gone missing from the stores. He suspects
Uryn Maren and gives you the key to his house. Grab a scroll of Ekash's Lock
Splitter, or a high Security skill and a decent lockpick. When you enter
Maren's house, go through the door at the left and unlock the chest (by pick
or scroll). You'll find that it's empty, and your journal will update. Head
back to Falco and he'll tell you to follow Uryn in the mine. Head into the
mine. Uryn is in the first passage on the right. Keep your distance and
follow him as he sneaks around. He'll eventually head into the store and stop
at which time your journal will update. Head up behind him and talk to him.
See what he has to say, and head back to Falco (who'll tell you to report to
Carnius).
=============================================================================
3.4 :: Bar Brawl
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you that Seler Favelnim has gone on a rampage in the Raven
Rock bar. When you reach the door, Favelnim's wife will stop you and beg for
you to not hurt her husband. When you enter, Favelnim is the old Dunmer to
your front. Step near him and he'll challenge you. DO NOT ATTACK HIM. Let him
take a few hits on you, and he'll eventually plead that you attack him.
Continue answering with "No, I won't do it," (the bottom choice every time).
He'll eventually give up. Report back to Falco.
=============================================================================
3.5 :: Discovery in the Mines
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you that a strange block of ice has been found in the mines,
and the miners are unable to penetrate it. He will send you off to find a
Nord names Graring, who is located where two rivers meet. Go to your World
map and look at the island of Solstheim. At the northeastern part is where
the two rivers meet, far north and slightly east of Raven Rock. Graring's
settlement is on the southern side. When you travel up there, you may find
Graring and his companions under attack. If so, kill the assailant. If not,
search around until you see a red-haired Breton, and kill her. When you talk
to Graring, he will thank you, and give you a special pick to penetrate the
ice. He asks you to bring back a sample it. You can cast Mark here so you can
get back quickly with the ice (what I did), or cast Recall and keep Mark
casted near Falco. Either way, get back to Raven Rock. Head into the mine and
into the farthest tip, where it is extremely dark. Search the left wall until
you find a block of ice called Stalhrim. Equip the pick and activate the
block. Take the Raw Stalhrim and get back to Graring. Show it to him, and he
will give you his trust, along with telling you you can speak to his
companions for Stalhrim armor and weapons. Not only are these extremely
powerful, but they can make you a fortune if you sell them. Choose very
wisely, though. Report back to Falco and he'll tell you to give Graring all
the Stalhrim you can find, although this isn't part of the quest and you
don't need to do it.
=============================================================================
3.6 :: Race Against the Clock
=============================================================================
BEFORE YOU TALK TO FALCO AND GET THIS QUEST, take the boat to Fort Frostmoth
and cast Mark where Carnius is standing. You will also need a Levitate potion
or spell. Head back to Falco and he'll tell you he has a report he needs to
deliver to Carnius within 5 hours (Morrowind time--which means not much).
Cast Recall and you will find that Carnius is not there. Instead, someone
named Constans Artius will be there. Talk to him and he'll tell you that
Carnius is out looking for a good place to expand the colony. After you milk
him for info, DO NOT MOVE. There is a trap on the carpet that will decrease
your Speed and Agility to 0, which you don't want to trigger if you want
to get the report to Carnius in time. LEVITATE over the carpet and then go
down the stairs (it's safe). Carnius is at Brodir's Grove, slightly northeast
of Raven Rock. Give the report to him, and report back to Falco.
Note: Thanks to Amanda Spaid (a_r_s@prodigy.net) for informing me that there
are three different spots Carnius will be, and it's a randomized script.
Carnius will either be at Brodir's Grove, the shipwreck site northwest of
Raven Rock, or on the eastern side of the island east of a big stone arch.
Thanks Amanda. ^_^
=============================================================================
3.7 :: Razing the Trees
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you that he is concerned about Spriggans gathering near the
eastern border of the colony. He says that the trees there need to be cut
down, but the Spriggans gathering there are preventing that. There are four
Spriggans around the colony, and each one has three lives, growing in size
and strength each life. Take them all out and talk to Unel Lloran in the bar.
He'll be happy that the Spriggans are gone, but he can't cut down the trees
because the roots are too deep. Go into the mine and ask about 'roots'.
The miners will tell you that they attempted to cut through, but gave up.
Head down to the northen tip, but before you enter the Stalhrim alcove turn
right and enter the Abandoned Mine Shaft. Ahead you will see the roots. Get
closer until your journal updates, then go back up and fetch Unel Lloran and
escort him to the roots. He'll ask for 5 Bittergreen Petals, which you'll
have to get outside of Solstheim. Before you leave, cast Mark here, then
go back to the mainland and acquire the Bittergreen Petals in whatever way
you wish. Cast Recall and give the Petals to Lloran. Report back to Falco.
=============================================================================
3.8 :: Hiring Guards
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you that he is looking for guards to hire. Go into the mine
and talk to Gratian Caerellius about 'hiring guards'. Do the same with Afer
Flaccus in the bar. Report to Falco and he'll tell you he needs some time to
get them equipped before he has any more assignments for you. It takes, wait
for it, 40 MORROWIND DAYS to get them "equipped". So you can either go back
to the mainland and do some stuff there, or, if you're like me, you can just
stay there and Rest for 40 days. Either way, talk to Falco after your journal
updates.
=============================================================================
3.9 :: Protect Falco
=============================================================================
Falco will tell you he is concerned about an attempt on his life. After you
talk to him and recieve this info, stand next to him and Rest for a day. When
you wake up, you will be under attack. The guards will go and attack the
archers. Stay with Falco and some'll eventually come straight up to you and
attack. If the straightforward attackers are dead and some archers are still
alive, Falco will go after them. If they fight Falco for a while then back
off, you need to kill them for the quest to be finished. Going a little too
far will get you the message "___________, you stay here in case there are
more of them!", but you need to kill EVERY ONE of the attackers or the quest
will not be complete. When they're all dead, talk to Falco.
=============================================================================
3.10 :: Under Siege
=============================================================================
Falco will ask you to collect 3 Silver Longswords from Constans Artius (if
you're wondering, the carpet is safe now). Head over to Fort Frostmoth and
talk to Constans Artius. When you head back to Raven Rock and talk to Falco,
you'll find that the colony was attacked as you were gone. Run into the mine
and take out all the Nords you encounter, and check their bodies until you
find an paper/item called 'Tattered Note'. Take out the remaining Nords and
talk to the miners in the back if you want to hear some things like "Thank
you for saving my life.". Anyway, go back up to the surface and show the
note to Falco. He'll recognize Carnius's signature and realize Carnius
ordered the attack. He wants you to go and confront Carnius with the note.
When you talk to Carnius, as you may have guessed, he will attack you. He
has a Stalhrim Mace and is not afraid to use it, so don't take him as one of
those commoners you beat up for fun. When he's dead, report back to Falco.
You are now Factor of the East Empire Company division of Raven Rock.
=============================================================================
3.11 :: The Factor's Estate
=============================================================================
There is one final matter to be settled: your house. Talk to Falco and he'll
tell you to talk to Aldam Berendus about your estate. When you talk to Aldam,
he'll tell you that he has put torches at 3 places your house can be built.
Check 'em all out, and inform Aldam of your decision. Take him to the
building site you want and order him to start construction. Give 'em 10 days
or so, and check out your new house.
=============================================================================
Section 4 :: Author's Ramblings
=============================================================================
When you finish all of Falco's quests, you can trade in that Stock
Certificate Carnius gave you to Constans Artius for 9,000 Septims.
I bought Bloodmoon on 11/30/03, and my first finalized rendition of this FAQ
was 12/2/03.
More ramblings to come in future versions.
