The four made their way into the Census Office, where they were greeted by Socucius Ergalla. "The four released prisoners, here at last." he said. "All right, before you're released, I'll have to review your papers and record your arrival." He sat down at a desk, and everyone handed him their papers.

As he looked at them, he wrote a few things on form papers, while reading aloud, "Mathias Kalon….Nord, born under The Tower; Ville Decimus….Imperial, born under The Lord; Jespin Avitus…. Imperial, born under The Mage; Jiub Vereboh….Dark Elf, born under The Warrior."

When he finished, he gave each of them their form, and instructed them to go speak with Sellus Gravius. They went into the next two rooms, where Sellus sat at his desk. "Are you the four prisoners expected to arrive?' he asked.

"Yes, sir." Mathias responded.

"Good." Sellus said. "I'll need your forms, and then I'll give you your instructions."

Each gave their form to Sellus. After looking over them, he set them aside and began, "All right. The four of you need to head out to Balmora. There, you're to look for a man by the name of Caius Cosades." he paused, and reached into his desk.

He got out a box wrapped in paper. "When you find him, give him this package. But it's strictly ordered that you do not, I repeat, do not look at this package. If it is messed with, your punishment will be great. Anyway, when he gets the package, he will know what to tell you. Any questions?"

"Yes." Jiub said. "Is there any way we can locate Mr. Cosades?"

"Go to the South Wall Cornerclub, and speak with the owner." Sellus answered. "He's good friends with Caius, and he should know where he is."

"All right." Ville said. "We'll be on our way."

"Just a minute." Sellus told them, bringing out four pouches from his desk. "I forgot to give you these. There is a bag for each of you- each bag has 100 gold, use it wisely. You may want to spend a bit of it on a silt strider to get to Balmora faster. It's cheap and convenient."

"Where can we find the silt strider?" Mathias asked.

"When you exit this building, cross the small bridge, and head to your right. The silt strider will be on a nearby hill." Sellus said. "And here, take this. It's my gift to the four of you. You're going to need what's inside." he told the handing over a sack.

They looked in the sack- inside was bread, a map of Morrowind and four daggers.

"All right, make your way to Balmora." Sellus told them. "Caius is expecting you."

"Thanks." Jespin said, and with that, they went out the door.

Once outside, they made their way to the silt strider. They all paid their fees, and boarded the silt strider. A little while later, they arrived in Balmora. They approached a nearby Breton.

"Excuse me, sir….do you know where I can find the South Wall Cornerclub?" Jespin inquired.

The man just looked at Jespin with a stern glare and snarled.

"All right." Jespin said sarcastically "Sorry for bothering you."

Just as he was turning away, the Breton grabbed Jespin and dragged him into a nearby alleyway. The three others followed.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Mathias asked.

"Shut up!" the bandit told them, holding a short sword up. "Now, I want all of you to give over your cash, and I won't have to kill your friend here."

"But we don't have any cash." Jiub said, trying to save Jespin.

"If you don't have any cash." the bandit growled. "Then you'd better bid farewell to your friend"

He was slowly bringing the sword up to Jespin's throat, when a woman ran in and struck the bandit with her fist. Two Hlaalu guards came up behind the woman.

"We've got you this time." the woman said, as the two guards picked the man up off the ground.

"All right, Corentin." one of the guards told the bandit. "You're under arrest. The charge is robbing over twenty people, including these men."

The guards led Corentin away.

"Thank you very much." Mathias told them woman. "You saved us a lot of trouble."

"Think nothing of it. I've never seen you four. Are you new here?"

"Yes, we just arrived about five minutes ago." Jiub said.

"Well, it's always good to have new people. I'm Eydis Fire-Eye, head of the Fighter's Guild here in Balmora. Can I help you with anything?"

"Yes." Ville said. "We're looking for the South Wall Cornerclub."

"All right." Eydis said. "Go down these stairs, and cross the farthest bridge on your right. Keep going straight, and you'll come to the South Wall Cornerclub."

"Thanks." Jiub said. They followed Eydis' directions and found the club easily. They entered, and approached a Khajiit.

"Excuse me?" Jiub said.

"Yes, how can Sugar Lips help you?" the Khajiit answered.

"Do you know who owns this place?'

"The owner is Bacola Closcius. He is upstairs." Sugar Lips told them.

"Thank you." Jiub said. The four made their way to where the owner was.

"Welcome to the South Wall Cornerclub." Bacola said. "How can I be of assistance?"

"We're looking for a man named Caius Cosades." Jespin stated.

"He has a small place west of here. Go outside, and follow the stairs up. Then, keep doing all the way to your left and you'll come to his house."

The four thanked Bacola and made their way to Caius' house. They entered, where Caius stood.

"Good morning." Caius greeted them. "I assume you're the four people that were to meet me?"

"That's right." Ville said.

"All right. Have a seat, everyone. Make yourselves comfortable."

The four sat at the table, joined by Caius. He got out five goblets and filled them with wine, giving each of the group a goblet. He sat down at the table, across from them.

"All right, they told me that you've got a package for me?" Caius began. Mathias handed the package to Caius. He opened it and looked over the notes inside.

"Okay," he said after reviewing the package. "Well, first things first. Everyone around here can tell that you four were prisoner, and that's not going to help you at all. Here, take these." he told them, pulling out four small tickets from the package. Each ticket had the letter MILLIE'S FINE CLOTHING printed on them.

"These will let you each purchase a full outfit from Millie Hastien's Fine Clothing Shop. Tell her that Caius sent you, and she'll know what to do."

He gave them each a ticket. He then pulled out four more tickets from the package, with the words MELDOR'S ARMORY on them.

"You're also going to need to prepare for combat in the future. These work the same way at Meldor's Armory, but of course, you get a full set of armor- including a weapon of your choice. So, choose wisely. It can make a difference between life and death."

The four finished their wine, took the tickets, and headed out to the shops to get what they needed. After purchasing their outfits from Millie's Shop, their headed down to Meldor's Armory. Mathias, being an experienced fighter, purchased a steel armor set, with an silver long sword. Ville equipped himself in bonemold armor, brandishing an iron spear. Jiub had been a few battles, so he knew what to choose; an iron armor set, and a steel short sword. Jespin used steel armor as well, using his favorite weapon: an iron axe. Once done, they returned to Caius' house.

"All right, that's done." Caius said. "Now, I need you to go and join the Fighter's Guild. Once you've done that, go and speak with a man by the name of Hasphat Antabolis. Tell them that you need information of the Nerevarine and the Sixth House Cult. But take heed; I'm friends with him, and he's not gonna give you the information easily. He's gonna ask a favor of you, and whatever it is, see to it that it gets done. Once you've done his favor, he'll give you the information. Bring the information to me and I'll tell you what do do next."

The four exited Caius' house, and made their way to the Fighter's Guild.
