Notes

• While Feduran does name Galdasi Thendas in Ranyon-ruhn as a possible suspect, she is not a thief, and this line of questioning is a dead end.
• If you do have Feduran arrested, but need to hire a pack guar for Mithras, speaking to the Telvanni Guard outside Ashamul will get you a guar for free.

Quest Stages

The following Journal ID and Index codes can be used with the Journal console command to manually update the quest to a certain point.

Removing the Guard (TR_m1_As_Guard)
Index	Finishes Quest	Journal Entry
1		Apparently Feduran Vandal has been acting jumpy lately. The villagers of Ashamul think it may have something to with the guard posted at the entrance.
10		Feduran Vandal at Ashamul tells me that she is a smuggler, and wants to get the guard posted at the entrance of Ashamul out of the way, in a manner that will not cause Master Mithras to send more.
15	Finishes quest	I refused to help Feduran in her immoral deeds. Perhaps I could report her to the guard?
20		When I agreed to help Feduran, she told me her cunning plan. She can't do anything suspicious, so she needs me to help her. To do this, I must find the guar thief, so Mithras has no excuse to keep his guard at Ashamul.
21		When I agreed to help Feduran, she told me her cunning plan. She can't do anything suspicious, so she needs me to help her. To do this, I must find the guar thief, so Mithras has no excuse to keep his guard at Ashamul. There is an alternative to finding the thief, however. Feduran has heard of the goings on at Ranyon-ruhn, and thinks I could pretend that Sinsal Nedriem, the slanderous alchemist, was the guar thief.
40		I found the guar thief, and slew him. I should report this to the guard at Ashamul; Feduran in the Ashamul caves is also likely to be pleased to hear of my success.
50		I was able to convince the guard that I had slain the guar thief. I should inform Feduran Vandal of my success.
51		I was able to convince the guard that Sinsal Nedriem was the guar thief. I should inform Feduran Vandal of my success.
60	Finishes quest	Feduran Vandal thanked me for removing the guard from Ashamul.
70	Finishes quest	I reported Feduran's scheme to a guard, who said he'd have her promptly arrested. He rewarded me for my honesty.
80	Finishes quest	I killed Feduran Vandal.
Removing the Guard (TR_m1_As_Guard_Details)
10		Feduran Vandal suggests two places where I might look for the guar thief. Her primary suspect is Galdasi Thendas, a thief at Ranyon-ruhn. While she is a poor thief, Feduran thinks it might be easier for her to steal something that would follow her. Alternatively, I could try asking around Tel Ouada, where there have also been rumors of guar theft.
51		I was able to convince the guard that Sinsal Nedriem was the guar thief. I should inform Feduran Vandal of my success.
Removing the Guard (TR_m1_As_Guard_Erdlan)
10		At the Tel Ouada guar farm, Erdlan Galelan told me that he'd lost a few guars to thieves recently. Apparently, there had been lights seen at the base of the cliff at Aegondo Point, east of the guar farm, on the night of the last theft.
20		Erdlan Galelan thanked me for killing the guar thief.
