Ranis Athrys, a high ranking female Dunmer nightblade, is a Wizard, and the Guild Steward, for the Balmora Guild of Mages. A natural leader, Ranis commands respect from those who come under her authority. Due to this, some lesser mages like Ajira dislike her as a leader. Ranis seems to naturally distrust mages not from the guild possibly due to the fact her parents were killed by a previous archmagister of House Telvanni. Most quests given by Ranis involve the affairs of other mages; meaning the conversion or destruction of mages outside the Guild.

[edit] Starts Quests

• Recruit or Kill Llarar Bereloth: Take a recruitment trip to a Telvanni in Sulipund.
• Manwe's Dues: Retrieve guild dues from a Mages Guild member in Punabi.
• Unsanctioned Training: Stop an Argonian from offering Restoration training without the Guild's approval.
• Escort Itermerel: Escort the scholar Itermerel to Pelagiad.
• Kill Necromancer Tashpi Ashibael: Investigate a case of necromancy in Maar Gan.
• Catch a Spy: Search for a Telvanni spy who has infiltrated the Guild.

[edit] Notes

Little is known about Ranis' background other than she was born into an upper class Dunmer family, possibly from House Hlaalu. Her parents were murdered at the hands of a previous archmagister of House Telvanni, which gave Ranis a natural sense of hate and distrust for people practising the use of magicka - no matter at what level - outside the Mages Guild. One possible reason for joining the Mages Guild, apart from natural magical ability was to cause as much damage to House Telvanni as possible.
