Journal Entries
Upon receiving the quest:


 * I've spoken to Nerussa, the publican at the Wawnet Inn just outside the Imperial City. She's searching for a rare wine named Shadowbanish Wine that she says is most commonly found in fort ruins. She tells me if I retrieve six bottles, I'll be well compensated. Looks like I'll need to keep a careful eye out.

Upon finding a bottle of Shadowbanish Wine, prior to speaking with Nerussa:


 * I've come across a bottle of wine with markings I've never seen before. I can barely make out "Shadowbanish Wine" on the label. It must be quite valuable. I should hold onto it until I find out more.

Once you've managed to find the required number of bottles:


 * I've recovered six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine. I should bring them back to Nerussa at the Wawnet Inn for my final reward.

After you've talked to Nerussa:


 * I've given six bottles of Shadowbanish Wine to Nerussa. In return, she paid me a large finder's fee of 1000 gold. She also told me if I find any more bottles of the wine, she'd gladly pay me 100 gold each for them.

If you're tired of seeking, you can use the cheat: player.additem 00185DCD 6. You have now 6 bottles.
