 Becoming Hortator of the Great House of Redoran is a quest available in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.

Background

"Nibani Maesa reminded me of the Fourth Trial of the Seven Visions: 'A stranger's voice unites the Houses./ Three Halls call him Hortator.' When I have been named Hortator by each of the Three Great Houses of Vvardenfell, I will have passed the Fourth Trial and should return to Nibani Maesa for further guidance."

―Nerevarine's journal

Objectives

• Speak to Athyn Sarethi in Sarethi Manor (Ald'ruhn Manor district) to learn about the other Redoran Council members.
  • Rescue Varvur Sarethi from Venim Manor to obtain Athyn Sarethi's vote (non Redoran members)
• Speak to Miner Arobar to obtain his vote
• Speak to Garisa Llethri to obtain her vote
• Speak to Hlaren Ramoran to obtain her vote
• Find Brara Morvayn in the Ald'ruhn Council Hall to gain her vote
• Defeat Bolvyn Venim in a duel (in the Arena in Vivec)
• Return to Athyn Sarethi to be granted the title of Hortator of the House of Redoran

Walkthrough

The quest to become Redoran Hortator runs in conjunction with the similar quests to become Hortator of the other Great Houses of Hlaalu and Telvanni (as well as the task of being declared Nerevarine of the Ashlander tribes). The quest begins after the Nerevarine returns to Nibani Maesa after speaking to Azura at the conclusion of the previous quest (The Path of the Incarnate).

Athyn Sarethi

Athyn Sarethi, a council member of the Great House of Redoran, can be found in the Sarethi Manor within the Manor district of Ald'ruhn. To gain his support the Nerevarine must rescue his son, Varvur Sarethi, from the Venim Manor and return him to his father (provided the Nerevarine has not already done so during the House Redoran quest line). Once Varvur has been returned Athyn Sarethi will grant his support and speak to the Nerevarine about the other Council members

Redoran Council Members

Having gained the vote of Athyn Sarethi the Nerevarine must then obtain the other votes from the other members of the Redoran Council. This can be acomplished simply by talking to them within their Manor's within Ald'ruhn (apart from Brara Morvayn whom can be found in the Ald'ruhn Council Hall). The Council members include Miner Arobar, Garisa Llethri, Hlaren Ramoran and Brara Morvayn and, as mentioned above, only require the Nerevarine to speak their story in order to gain their support to become Hortator.

Duel with Bolvyn Venim

Once the other Council Members have been spoken to the Nerevarine must then speak to Bolvyn Venim, Archmaster of the House of Redoran. Venim, however, will refuse to give his support to the Nerevarine and instead challenges the Nerevarine to a duel. The duel itself is held in the Arena in Vivec, with Venim weilding a Daedric Dai-katana and (mostly) Ebony armor. Once Venim is defeated, the Nerevarine must return to Athyn Sarethi to be named Hortator of Redoran and receive the Ring of the Hortator as well as a note from the Archcanon.

Trivia

• If the Nerevarine has joined the House of Redoran and is a the point to become the Archmaster of Redoran then defeating Bolvyn Venim will (effectively) complete both quests (as both require the Nerevarine to return to Athyn Sarethi to be named as such).
• If Varvur Sarethi is killed during his rescue the Main Quest becomes impossible to do (by normal means).
• This quest, like the other quests to be named Hortator or Nerevarine, can be skipped entirely if the Nerevarine has a reputation above 50 (and is Lvl 20 or higher).
