-------------------
The Elf looked at Ka-Vara "Do not appologize, I am well versed in the ways of the world and the occasional troubles it brings." he paused, "and I am indeed Bildam."
Looking at Metosi, Bildam said "The matter at hand indeed." He nodded at the Orc who then stepped out of the room and closed the door.
Looking at each of the companions Bildam reached down and brought up a small box. "My master has called you to find him a substance of great importance to him. It is rare, not seen for many ages, until this came to my masters attention. This is Aetherium"
He opened the box, surrounded by black velvet pillowing was a small blue stone. It emitted a soft blue glow that shimmered across the room gently, within it seemed to be a slow swirling energy.
As the light filled the room Bildam continued "You are charged with finding more of it, as much as you can find. I will pay you One Thousand times its weight in gold. I care not where you find it from, who you take it from, and what needs to be ended in order to obtain it. As for where to look, that why you where hired. You have the brawn, wits, and knowledge to get what my master needs. Although I have some interesting leads to where to start."
Bildam piked up a piece of parer and read from it as the stone shown. "A kajit named Ri'saad, a wondering trader, was the one who originally brokered this marvel into the Imperial Provence, where my master came upon it. From him you could devise his source, if there is one. Secondly is the College of Winterhold, its library has been stoked for at least two eras, some record of Aetherium must exist there. Thirdly is the city of Markarth. There Dwemer ruins are being excavated, it is believed by my master that that lost civilisation discovered Aetherium. Any research or excavations may of uncovered something. Lastly, the Thieves guild in Riften. They buy and trade all sorts of illegal goods. No doubt some pieces of Aetherium has passed hands, sits in a collection, or is in a locked chest in their stores. They would be a good source of information, something you will need.
Bildam closed the box and the blue light faded away. "Any questions for me before I take my leave of you?"
