Background

People are hunting for the grave of a great Varani merchant named Azo Raemund. They say he is buried with the many jewels he acquired during his lifetime.

NOTE : DO NOT loot unmarked graves in this area (Forsaken Plain) before you begin this quest as it may lead to program bugs and a quest that can no longer be completed.

Walkthrough

• Talk to Idwa Widfrond south of the Orieator's Tomb in the eastern Forsaken Plain. She will ask you to find the grave of the Varani merchant Azo Raemund.
• Visit the potential graves (called "unmarked graves") marked on the minimap. In one of the graves is a letter that sends the Fateless One to Britt Hagni in Emaire village. As soon as you take the letter from the grave, the markers for the other unmarked graves will disappear from your map (as the quest will have updated).
• Pester him about being Azo Raemond, and at the end pass a persuasion check to get three rings:
  • Azo's Wealth
  • Azo's Wisdom
  • Azo's Wish

Note: If you decide to allow Hagni to live in peace, he will reward you with his gratitude and only Azo's Wealth.

• Return back to Idwa Widfrond. The Fateless One will have to choose between three options:
  • "Here are the rings": the three rings are removed (Reward: Random weapon & armor and (level-dependent) XP (but no Gold)).
    • If you persuaded Azo to hand over his rings you can give them to Idwa with this option who will thank you greatly and gift you some equipment for your troubles. Azo Raemond can continue to live a peaceful life, albeit at the loss of his rings.
  • "He and his rings are gone": (Reward: Gold & XP, both level-dependent.)
    • Choosing this option allows you to complete the quest, keep Azo Raemond alive and keep his rings to sell.
  • "He's alive and in Emaire": (Reward: Random Longbow & XP)
    • If you reveal that Azo Raemond is alive to Idwa she will thank you for the information and says she will "have to visit him" with the implication of torturing the money out of him. She mentions that if word of Britt Hagni's death reaches your ears you should turn away to avoid being any more involved than you already are.

The second and third options will make the rings removable from the inventory. Selling all three will net approximately 6000 gold (at 10 Mercantile) in Ysa should you complete What Ales You.

Notes

• Stealing Azo's Wish without killing him then talking to him will result in him giving you a duplicate Azo's Wish.
• It is possible to pickpocket all the rings from Idwa after handing them over to her, and they can be fenced (or sold with 10 Mercantile) safely after completing the quest.

Bugs

• Looting the unmarked graves before beginning the quest could cause them to glitch out, rendering you unable to interact with them.
  • A possible fix to this would be to pickpocket the rings from Britt directly, or going back to Idwa after visiting the graves.
