You decide to break in your new second-in-command and send Relamus Telvanni to the Jarl with the Letter of Correspondence in hopes of stopping the assassination.

An hour later, Relamus returns to the Sanctuary battered and bloody with grim news: the Jarl is dead and his son gone. He witnessed the assassination and was hurt trying to stop the treasonous son from escaping. The guards are on a manhunt for the son, but most likely he's halfway to Whiterun by now.

Little does Relamus know you have placed another one of the illusion spells you created on yourself,  This aptly named Spell of Revealing enables you to see right through every falsehood directed your way. Relamus' lies are torn asunder in your mind and his wounds fade away to reveal a Imperial man in perfect health. You suddenly realize you have no recollection of recruiting a Relamus Telvanni at all. It's as if he appeared out of nowhere and you, along with the rest of the Scholars, simply accepted the illusion that he'd been there all along.

The Imperial before you realizes you know the truth and confesses. He states that he is Corvec, son of the now-deceased Jarl. He states he used an artifact of Mephala to plant false memories in your minds so he could gain your trust and eventually assassinate you. He then draws a dagger and tries to kill you.

Just before his blade meets your chest, you activate the Sanctuary's last resort safety feature you kept secret from everyone. You and the other Scholars become intangible and immune from Corvec's fury. The final phase of the safety feature starts and transports the Scholars, one by one, back to where it all started: the Psijic Order.

Right before you disappear, Corvec howls that he will kill you if it's the last thing he does.
