[edit] Detailed Walkthrough

Speak with Marena Gilnith in the Great Bazaar area who wishes to meet someone new. Agree to hear her story and she'll go on to tell the story of how she ran away to Mournhold in hopes of meeting and marrying a man of her dreams. Unfortunately, she has been unable to make very much money and has had to resort to working all the time to survive, never having a chance to meet any nice, single men. She asks you to keep an eye out of anyone that might be interested in meeting her. From here, you have your pick of the bachelors (or widower): Fons Beren, Goval Ralen, or Sunel Hlas.

[edit] Fons Beren

On the other side of the Great Bazaar you'll meet Fons Beren who claims to male characters that he gets on quite well with the women, but subjects female characters to the kind of lines that cast serious doubt on that claim ("Well, hello there. Aren't you a tasty dish?", for instance). You can suggest that he meet up with Marena and return to speak with her. She seems hesitant to meet him but eventually agrees to meet up with him. Return to Fons to setup the meeting, and if you speak to him again he'll refuse to talk as he is preparing for his date. Although Marena doesn’t mention any detail about the date, they will meet each other outside the Winged Guar two days later. After a couple of hours go back to Great Bazaar to talk to both of the two again to complete the quest. Sadly, Fons won't give you any reward; maybe you should find a better half for Marena.

[edit] Goval Ralen

There is another man that will be willing to meet with Marena, Goval Ralen in the Temple District. Just speak to him about woman and he'll be ready to go. Similarly, wait for two days and go to the Winged Guar to make sure the two are having their date, back to Great Bazaar after some time, talk to both of them to complete this quest. Goval will give you the Ralen Family Belt as a reward.

[edit] Sunel Hlas

You can also pair her up with Sunel Hlas, a trader who is mourning and bitter about the loss of his wife in the Great Bazaar. Mention women and Marena to him and he'll agree to a date reluctantly. When you speak to Sunel after setting him up he'll tell you to leave him alone, but you should get three options to reply with. If you tell him to be optimistic, there is a 67% chance the date will go well; if you tell him to be himself, the chance drops to 50%, and telling him to talk about his dead wife causes the chance to drop to just 15%.

The two will arrange to meet at the Winged Guar, and after some time they will return to Great Bazaar. Depending on the advice you gave (or didn't give) Sunel, the date may end up horribly or very well. If the date went well, you will find Marena upstairs in his shop, and Sunel will reward you with the BiPolar Blade.

[edit] Notes

• Make a new Save File before you start this Quest. It's really easy to mess up this Quest because there is a random success factor that may prevent things from turning out well despite your best efforts.

• If the date doesn't work out you get no reward.

• The BiPolar Blade can be sold in the Museum of Artifacts for 20,000 gold.

• To get both quest rewards simply kill Goval for his belt
