Quest Details

 * Must be at least level 17 to do this quest


 * Offering
 * Mountain Lion Pelt


 * With the pelt in your inventory activate the shrine. Molag Bal tells you to corrupt a man named Melus Petilius. In order to do this, you must make him attack you with the supplied Cursed Mace that Bal provides. A navigation mark should appear on your map showing where he lives, the settlement of Brindle Home. Talk to any villager with a disposition of 60 or more and they will tell you about him. He has moved to a cabin to the southwest and he visits his wife's grave daily. You cant get him to attack you in his home, but at his wife's grave he is easily angered. He heads to the grave at 10:00 a.m., follow him. When he gets to the grave and begins praying, drop the mace nearby and beat him with your fists. Talk to him and he will grab the mace and beat you to death (you must die). You reappear at Molag Bals shrine and he awards you the Mace of Molag Bal.


 * After the quest you may return to the grave and talk to him (of just kill him) and he will give you back the Cursed Mace that you got at the beginning.
