The Emperor's Courier
The Emperor's Courier is a quest.
Details
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Giver | Main |
| Membership | Any |
| Requirements | None (story-driven) |
| Summary | Use Queen Mynisera's signet ring to reach the Emperor's courier and bring back his word. |
Objectives
Use the location names in your quest journal. Follow map markers when they are available.
| Step | Objective | Optional |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ask for the dispatcher at the quest destination in the named town, who can find the Emperor's messenger | No |
| 2 | Show Mynisera's signet ring to the messenger at the quest palace in the named town | No |
| 3 | Bring the messenger's word, and the jewellery, back to Queen Mynisera | No |
Outcomes
Added gear requires a successful quest payment and a qualifying outcome. Quest mail alone does not count as payment.
| Outcome | Gold multiplier | Gear choice |
|---|---|---|
| Mynisera knows why the Emperor's letter went to Aubk-i: it was sent to the Queen of Daggerfall, and the crown had passed. | 100% | Yes |
| You turned down Queen Mynisera. | No added payment | No |
| The Emperor's messenger came and went, and Mynisera learned nothing. | No added payment | No |
With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.
Possible quest foes
| Foe | Group size |
|---|---|
| Nightblade | 1 |
These are the script’s possible foe groups, including conditional encounters. They are not all guaranteed to appear together; repeated attacks and ordinary dungeon enemies can add more. Follow a foe’s reference for its combat rules before choosing weapons.
See Quest reference for offer requirements across quests.
Scripted item payments
These are item payments made by the quest’s script. The objective or branch still determines which payment you receive. They are separate from the additional fitted gear choice and from ordinary enemy or chest loot.
