Detailed WalkthroughEdit

East Empire PendantsEdit

Fethis Alor runs a general goods outfit from his house in Raven Rock. You'll find that he is somewhat bitter about living and working in Solstheim, should you speak with him. One thing that does seem to spark his interest is the East Empire pendants. The pendants were once used as employee incentives, but are no longer being produced and, as a result, are now considered a valuable collector's item. Fethis lets you know that, if you find any of these East Empire pendants in your travels throughout Solstheim, he will be glad to buy them from you for 500 gold per pendant. The pendants are located in East Empire Company strongboxes, which are locked with an expert lock and contain other valuable loot as well.

East Empire Company Strongbox LocationsEdit

There are 33 total locations of East Empire Company strongboxes in Solstheim, giving a profit of 16,500 gold if you can find them all. Most of the strongboxes are at locations marked on your map, but for those which are in unmarked locations, the entry for the "Location" column is the location from which it is easiest to find the strongbox. Certain strongboxes are marked as owned, which means taking from them is considered stealing, except in cases where you have raised the owner's disposition high enough.

NotesEdit

  • The quest will not be completed or removed from the journal when the 33 pendants are turned in. It can only be removed from the journal by killing Fethis Alor or using the console. According to a note in the game data, this was done intentionally because the strongboxes are meant to respawn (however, they do not).

BugsEdit

  • The strongboxes in Morvayn Manor Chambers and the Temple Ancestral Tomb are unlocked.
  • The strongbox in The Retching Netch can be unlocked with the main Retching Netch key.
  • One of the strongboxes in Raven Rock Mine can be unlocked with a version of Brand-Shei's Strongbox key that's unavailable in the game.
    • If you have the Wax Key Lockpicking perk and unlock this strongbox, the Brand-Shei's Strongbox key is given to you.

Quest StagesEdit

Pain in the Necklace (DLC2RRFavor05)
Stage Finishes Quest Journal Entry
20
Objective 10: Locate the East Empire Pendants for Fethis Alor in Raven Rock
  • The following empty quest stages were omitted from the table: 10, 30, 250.
Notes
  • Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
  • Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
  • Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
  • If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
  • On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage DLC2RRFavor05 stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest DLC2RRFavor05.
