"Ajira made a bet with Galbedir about who would get to the rank of Journeyman first. I hope it doens't end with more flame atronachs in the guild library like last time."
Ajira is a Khajiitalchemist in the Balmora Mages Guild and a trainer in Enchant, Alchemy and Conjuration, all of which can be raised to a maximum of 48 through her. She is desperately trying to reach the rank of "Journeyman" before Galbedir. A number of simple quests can be undertaken for her, almost all of them having to do with this bet. A couple of more advanced quests are available from her later on.

mushrooms"Do you have samples of all the mushrooms? Luminous Russula, Violet Coprinus, Bungler's Bane, and Hypha Facia?"
