Deliver a letter to a farmer's son. Quest Giver: Rogatus Salvius Location(s): Salvius Farmhouse, Old Hroldan Inn Reward: 25 gold Disposition: =1 (Rogatus Salvius) ID: FreeformSalviusFarmA Difficulty: Easy

Leontius, the Prodigal Son

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Rogatus Salvius at Salvius Farmhouse.
2. Agree to take a letter to his son.
3. Deliver Rogatus's Letter to Leontius Salvius at Old Hroldan Inn.

Detailed Walkthrough

Salvius Farmhouse is just outside of Markarth, and is one of the first things you'll encounter if you approach the city on foot. Carriage riders will have to walk back to it, but it's just past Markarth Stables, so it's not far. Rogatus will be outside during most of the daylight hours tending his farm. Speaking to him will reveal that he is upset at his son that works at the Old Hroldan Inn and never visits. He'll ask you to do him a favor by delivering a letter admonishing his son for his familial neglect.

Old Hroldan Inn is across the hold, almost directly east of Markarth. Traveling along the road will take you near a few Forsworn encampments, but should be relatively safe. It can also be approached by traveling over the mountains to the west of Rorikstead. Leontius Salvius is typically outside chopping wood or on the porch during the day. He can be found inside the inn at night. He'll thank you for the letter and give you some payment.

Notes

• This quest is nearly identical to Delivery radiant quests, but is not included in their radiant scheme.
• This quest counts towards Assist the people of the Reach.

Bugs

• Rogatus may not have any dialogue when you try to return his letter. ^?
  • Try the usual methods, such as restarting, resetting, cache clearing, and resting. Coming back after doing other things may work as well.

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 FreeformSalviusFarmA 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 FreeformSalviusFarmA.
