10			I delivered the Mysterium Xarxes to Martin, and told him that Mankar Camoran had escaped to Paradise with the Amulet of Kings. Martin believes the key to opening a portal to Camoran's Paradise lies within the pages of the Mysterium Xarxes, but he will need some time to study it, and ward himself against its evil power. then Martin asked me to speak to Jauffre about Mythic Dawn agents spying on Cloud Ruler Temple.
20			Jauffre told me that strangers have been sighted near Cloud Ruler Temple. He suspects they are Mythic Dawn spies based out of Bruma. He suggested that Captain Burd of the Bruma Guard might know of any strangers in town. Steffan of the Blades can tell me where he has seen the suspected spies.
25			Steffan told me that the suspicious strangers have been seen on the road to Cloud Ruler Temple, usually near the runestone at dusk.

(If Saveri Faram is still alive but the player has found Jearl's Orders) or The Mythic Dawn agent named Jearl is dead. I should continue to search for other spies and locate their base in Bruma.

35			(Trigger for Burd as quest target after killing Jearl)
40			I found a key marked 'Basement Key'. Perhaps this clue can help me locate a Mythic Dawn agent's base in Bruma. Captain Burd may be able to provide some information about suspicious activity.

85			Jauffre told me to make sure that all the Mythic Dawn agents were dead. The document I found spoke of two agents. I must track down and kill both of them.
86			(Trigger for Burd as target after talking to Jauffre)
