Amelion's Debt

Quick Walkthrough
1. Visit Burz gro-Khash in Cheydinhal to receive this contract. 2. Visit Biene Amelion in Water's Edge to discuss her dilemma. 3. Decide on the path of your adventure and provide Amelion with the means to satisfy her debt. 4. Return to Burz gro-Khash to receive your reward and further instructions.

Biene Amelion at Water's Edge
1. Visit Burz gro-Khash in Cheydinhal after completing the "Drunk and Disorderly" quest for Modryn Oreyn. Burz has a contract for you from Biene Amelion who resides in Water's Edge, a settlement north of Leyawiin on the western shore of the Lower Nibenay Bay.

2. Find Biene in her house or around Water's Edge. She has inherited a debt (1000 gold) from her father who was dragged from the house in relation to the debt. 3. She wants you to obtain her grandfather's ceremonial sword and cuirass: Brusef Amelion's Sword and Brusef Amelion's Cuirass, which are enchanted with Frost Damage and Frost Shield respectively, from the family tomb nearby, so she can sell them to pay off the debt. At this point, you can finish the quest in one of two ways:

Option 1: Chivalrous (but costly)Rescue Biene From Debt
If you have the courtesy and the gold, you can choose to give Biene the money necessary to pay the debt. After that, she will give you permission to keep her grandfather's armor, should you run across them later on, or loot the cave directly. Biene will also mark the location of her ancestor's tomb on your map for your convenience You should choose this option if you have already found and sold the sword and armor, as it does not respawn ever again. The two items that Biene wants you to obtain from Amelion Tomb have a base value of 1037 Septims (Biene only wants the cuirass and the sword, not the other five pieces of armor that can also be retrieved from the tomb). If you are only interested in the money this is a poor choice, since your mercantile skill would need to be high enough to get a profit on the deal, which you would spend about as much as you would be if buying a horse or small house. This option does have benefits though, which are good if you decide they are worth the trade: •The armor is not only a unique set, it has a unique appearance. This means there is nothing like it anywhere else in the game and has its own model. If you are a collector, or like to decorate your house with unique, decorative and/or interesting items, you will never have another chance to acquire any items that look like it in any way, as it doesn't respawn again. You can collect the armor at any time (including before this quest) and also without investing in the Fighters Guild questline. This means you don't even have to apply for an Associate's "Degree"(there isn't an actual degree per se, but the notion of becoming an associate).

Option 2: Looting the Tomb
If you don't have the gold, or are looking for adventure of some sort, you can go ahead to Amelion's Tomb and loot it, and Biene has been kind enough to mark it on your map for your ease. It's located across the Lower Niben, southeast of Water's Edge. Once you've looted the tomb thoroughly and obtained the sword and cuirass, as well as the five other items of armor (worth nothing to Biene of course) return to Biene. You are again given the opportunity to give her the money to pay the debt and keep the items for yourself. Note that she is not interested in any of the other items of Brusef Amelion's Armor, as stated previously, those of which you can find in the tomb. These other items are all unenchanted, which is a certain, instantaneously great benefit if you joined the Mages Guild and have access to the illustrious Arcane University. You can enchant them with anything you see fit, which can aid you along your adventures to come.

Going Back to Cheydinhal
Return to Burz gro-Khash in Cheydinhal to receive the usual level-dependent gold reward and a one point Fame increase. If you have already completed the "Den of Thieves" quest, Burz will also be willing to bestow upon you the defensive rank of Protector. You will then have to go to Modryn Oreyn in Chorrol for your next quest, "The Master's Son". Otherwise, you will have to go to Azzan in Anvil to complete Den Of Thieves next.
