Walkthrough
In order to complete the Fifth Trial of the Seven Visions, the Nerevarine must be declared as such by the Four Ashlander Tribes (Ahemmusa, Erabenimsun, Urshilaku and Zainab) of Vvardenfell. To do so the Nerevarine must visit and complete a number of tasks for each Tribe before they can be declared the Nerevarine of that Tribe. The order in which these Tribes are visited and declare the Nerevarine as Nerevarine of their Tribe does not affect the development of the main questline.

Kaushad and Sonummu Zabamat
The Nerevarine begins the quest by traveling to the Zainab Camp (found on the western edge of the Grazelands). The Nerevarine first speaks to Sonummu Zabamat, Wise Woman of the Zainab Tribe, whom tells the Nerevarine that in order to be declared as such they must speak to Kaushad, Ashkahn of the Zainab.

Kaushad, however, requires the Nerevarine to complete a task for him (prior to this Kaushad will require a disposition of 70 or more to even consider the Nerevarine's claim). This task is to kill the vampire within the Nerano Ancestral Tomb.

Nerano Ancestral Tomb
The Nerano Ancestral Tomb can be found to the north of the camp (slightly north east of Nchuleft) within the Grazelands. The Tomb itself contains a small number of corridors and chambers with a few leveled enemies to defeat. In the final room of the Tomb waits Calvario, the vampire that Kaushad refered to. Once he has been killed the Nerevarine must return to Kaushad to receive their next task.

Kaushad's Bride
Upon returning to Kaushad, the Nerevarine is told by Kaushad that he (Kaushad) requires a bride. Specifically Kaushad determines that his bride should be a Telvanni high-born who is pretty, plump, with big hips. The Nerevarine is told by Kaushad to speak to Sonummu, whom devises a plan that the Nerevarine buys a slave and presents them to Kaushad (after she has been dressed up). Sonummu suggests speaking to Savile Imayn in Tel Aruhn to buy a slave.

Savile Imayn is more than happy to sell the Nerevarine 'something special', although she requires an exquisite shirt, skirt and shoes. She suggests travelling to Elegnan in Tel Mora to buy the clothes. Once the Nerevarine has obtained the clothing from Elegnan, Imayn then tells the Nerevarine that they must give her a bottle of Telvanni Bug Musk (which can be purchased while the Nerevarine is in Tel Mora, from Jolda in the Apothecary). Once the Bug Musk has been given to Imayn the slave can be bought for 1,200 gold.

The Nerevarine must then escort the slave (now identified as Falura Llervu) to the Zainab Camp from Tel Aruhn.

Zainab Nerevarine
Upon the Nerevarine's return to the Zainab Camp, Kaushad expresses his pleasure in Falura Llervu and grants the Nerevarine the Thong of Zainab as proof of the fact that the Nerevarine is the Zainab Nerevarine. Further conversation with Kaushad reveals that he is fully aware that Falura Llervu is not a Telvanni high-born, a point which does not anger him, rather being impressed with the Nerevarine's cunning. As a reward he gifts the Nerevarine a wedding gift.

Trivia

 * Kaushad's disposition can be raised by 40 points by giving him a pair of exquisite shoes.
 * If a Telvanni Council member is questioned about Kaushad's request their disposition will drop by 10 points.
 * Mistress Dratha's disposition will drop by 40 points if questioned by a male Nerevarine (10 points if the Nerevarine is female)
 * Master Neloth will advise the Nerevarine to Shut up more often.
 * It is advised that the Nerevarine complete all of the Hortator quests before completing the Nerevarine questline due to potential conflicts with the Temple and its members.
