[edit] Detailed Walkthroughs

[edit] Finding Reeh-Jah

South of Tel Fyr, north-west of the Erabenimsun Camp and north from the Maren Ancestral Tomb you will find the lone Reeh-Jah, a runaway Argonian slave who wants to go home. Though he initially may not talk about his situation, he will loosen up once his disposition is 50. Reeh-Jah is heading towards the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart in hopes to escape out of Morrowind.

[edit] The "Good" Path

If you wish to aid the slave, merely escort him to the Mission in Ebonheart. It is a long distance and you might like to take a boat ride from Sadrith Mora or maybe a silt strider from Molag Mar to Vivec and from there, a boat to Ebonheart.

[edit] The "Evil" Path

If you are having a mean streak, you can return the slave to his owner, Savile Imayn at the Tel Aruhn Slave Market. Since you are in the middle of nowhere, the only sensible option is to reach Tel Aruhn on foot, it's a moderate walk/swim to the northeast.

[edit] Rewards

If you escort the slave to Ebonheart you'll receive a nice reward of a Blood Belt and a Twin Lamps faction improvement once you introduce the slave to Im-Kilaya.

If, on the other hand, you take the slave to Tel Aruhn you'll receive 150 gold, or only 50 if he died on the way there. If you take this route you will lose Twin Lamps faction disposition if you mention the slave to Im-Kilaya in Ebonheart.

[edit] Notes

• In some of the unpatched versions after killing Reeh-Jah you can talk to his slave owner again and again about him and continuously receive 50 gold.
• There are a couple of illegible pages from Brief History of the Empire lying on the ground next to the place where you first find Reeh-Jah. These lay out a path leading to an outcast Ashlander Wise Woman's yurt; part of the Rescue Jocien Ancois quest for the Imperial Legion.

The Runaway Slave (MV_RunawaySlave)
Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
10		South of Tel Aruhn, I encountered an Argonian in the wilderness. He seemed frightened, and looked to be in bad shape.
20		It turns out the Argonian, Reeh-Ja, is an escaped slave from the market in Tel Aruhn. He's been on the run for a number of days, and fears for his life, for good reason. He tells me that he wants to get to the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart; he believes that they can help him.
30		I have decided to try to escort this runaway to the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart. To leave him out here would certainly mean his death.
35		The stupid slave has chosen the wrong person in whom to confide. There will certainly be a reward from the slave trader in Tel Aruhn for this one's return. Reeh-Ja fears me, and will follow without question. My only concern is that he will flee if I am forced into battle.
36		I've decided to leave the slave to find his own way home. I don't wish to become a part of this battle.
90		Reeh-Ja is dead. It seems his dreams of freedom have come true, but not how he expected.
97		I have arrived at the Argonian Mission with Reeh-Jah.
100		Though it was a long journey, I was able to deliver Reeh-Ja to Im-Kilaya at the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart. Im-Kilaya was grateful, and rewarded me for my efforts.
103		I've arrived at the Tel Aruhn slave market with Reeh-Jah.
105		I was able to bring the slave Reeh-Ja to Tel Aruhn, and turn him over to Savile Imayn, the slave trader. As I expected, she was happy to get one of her slaves back--not only is it her merchandise, but it serves to tell the others that there is no true chance of escape. And, as I assumed, there was a reward for the fool.
120		I've brought news of Reeh-Ja's death to Savile Imayn. His death pleased her, as it serves as an example to the others. Escape equals death.
130		I spoke with Im-Kilaya at the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart. He was saddened at the death of Reeh-Ja, but was happy to hear he died a free man. He gave me thanks and hoped I would continue to help slaves to their freedom.
140		I attempted to speak with Im-Kilaya at the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart. He had heard about me bringing the slave back to Tel Aruhn. I am not welcome in the Mission.
