Quest Rewards by Outcome

Mihai... Imprisoned under Svartrau Cathedral for ages, now dead – by my hand. Called me a 'dawnwalker' and spoke of someone called 'the Augurs'. More and more questions without answers... At least I have his sword now – it may be damaged, but it's still a fine weapon. Restoring it might prove worthwhile...
