Detailed Walkthrough

Felmaru Llendu has received an update on Bolnor Selvilo. Ask her about this topic and she will reveal that Bolnor's slave, Shojata, has apparently been sighted in Shipal-Shin. She's been taken in by catcatchers near Adavrin Plantation. Felmaru asks that you speak to her and find where Bolnor is, before going to handle Bolnor himself in whichever way you see fit.

Exit the Redoran Council House. You'll be greeted by Nilus Indarys on behalf of Ald Marak's commander, Delis Llethri. He'll give you a Scroll of Divine Intervention that Llethri wants given to Bolnor. Her intention is to have guards posted around Imperial forts so that they can then intercept and arrest him.

Whether you intend to honor Llethri's wishes or not, head to the Adavrin Plantation (south of Narsis and marked on your map). Asking around the people here with 65+ disposition will see you given directions to the catcatcher band. They're on a dark brown mesa to the southeast of the plantation. Talk to the leader, Mendyn Hereloth, about Shojata. If you have 80+ disposition, you can ask him what his price is, and then pay the 2,400 gold demanded. Otherwise, you'll need to attack him and his band, before using his key to free his captive.

However you free Shojata, speak to her about Bolnor Selvilo to learn that Bolnor is likely on the road between Narsis and Septim's Gate Pass - fleeing to family in Mir Corrup. This specific road is the Purple Road - the wide, paved one running west from Narsis. Bolnor specifically can be found on a stretch of the road well to the west of Shipal-Sharai. The guar drawing his cart has perished in an attack by Shinathi tribals, and he is stuck. Speak to him. He'll ask what will happen now that you've found him. You can attack immediately, but only do this if you truly mean to kill him. Otherwise, challenge him to a duel once more. He'll offer you a drink - there's no harm in having it. Then defeat him in battle.

At a low health, Bolnor will surrender. You now have a number of choices as to how to deal with him. If you spoke to Nilus Indarys and received a Scroll of Divine Intervention from him, then you can give a scroll with that effect to Bolnor - ensuring that he ends up under arrest as Commander Llethri wishes. You can alternatively tell him that he's free to go, or else choose 'finish him' - in which case you and Bolnor will fight to the death.

However you handle Bolnor, you may wish to avail yourself of the substantial riches in his cart. Then head back to Ald Iuval and reporting events to Felmaru Llendu. Her disposition will increase by +5 if you got Bolnor imprisoned, but your reward otherwise will not differ regardless how how Bolnor was handled.

Notes

• If you get Bolnor arrested, you can later find him in the kogotel of Ald Marak.
