Where Spirits Have Lease

Overview
Prerequisites: None Quest giver: Rumors; Velwyn Benirus Reward: None

Background Information
Rumors abound in Anvil that Velwyn Benirus is selling Benirus Manor for a very cheap price.

Walkthrough
Spare around 5000 septims to buy the manor. Velwyn will then give you the manor deed and the key to the front door. When you first sleep in the manor, you will be visited by three Benirus Manor Ghosts, so don't forget to buy an enchanted weapon to kill them.

You'll hear a crash downstairs, so head to the first floor. You'll see a broken vase, a piece of paper title Logren's Diary, and a skeletal hand, all surrounded by a green aura. Read the paper and you'll discover that the house is cursed and haunted. You'll need to talk to Velwyn again, but he has left Anvil.

Talk to people in The Count's Arms and you'll learn that he went to Imperial City. Head to Imperial City and ask around for Belwyn. People will tell you that he's staying at The King and Queen Tavern in ______ district. Talk to Velwyn again and he'll agree to go back to Anvil to help you lift the curse.

Return to Anvil, meet Velwyn at The Count's Arms, and follow him to Benirus Manor. Once inside, you'll need to fight more Benirus Manor Ghosts and then head downstairs into the basement.

After killing more ghosts here too, move toward the wall with the strange symbols. Velwyn will being performing a ritual that opens the Sealed Portal, and then he'll run away.

Once inside, activate Logren's Altar. Logren will speak and says he wishes to make peace with the Nines. In order to do so, you must bring back his hand (which you found earlier with Logren’s Diary note). Activate his skeleton.

Instead, Logren tricked you and will arise from the dead. Kill him, the curse will be lifted, your house will be restored, and return to Velwyn at The Count’s Arms for completion of the quest.
