Salty Sea-Dogs

OK, so you talk to the captain aboard the harboured ship opposite the quicksilver mine and he asks you to retrive 'fine cut void salts' that his drunken crew lost in a cave. the cave, as it happens, is on the other side of the map. It's a weird one so far as how the hell his drunken crew ended up there... anyway, all you do is simply trravel to the cave, go inside, and the is a little, short passage into the main chamber and a chest up on the land to the left. in the chest is the 'fine cut void salts'. simple. grab them, and run them back to the captain.

Please note, outside of the cave are two cave bears. but if you approach the cave enterance from above, you can range them from a rock above in safety. Also note, inside the cave are three, yes THREE more cave bears. I suggest and reccomend for anyone who isn't a super duper fighter in the game to sneak by them and leave quietly. or, like i did, use the sanguine rose (if you have it) and summon an epic dremora guy to deal with the bears whilst you run up grab the salts and, for lack of better words (that aren't offensive), make like a tree and leave.

Hope this helps, and it counts as helping 1/3 people of The Pale, to become a thane in dawnstar. For another helping of helping the people of The Pale, to become a thane in the region, go to this page about helping the mine owner;-
