The Quill of Gemination spawns in once you start The Pursuit quest, so don’t go looking for it before that. You’ll complete The Pursuit and move on with the Thieve’s Guild questline. Just explore Mercer’s house, loot all of his goodies (including the Bust of the Great Fox and Chillrend), and discover what his plans are. Enter Mercer Frey’s House and Discover Proof of His Locationįrom this point on, you’re done with the Quill of Gemination. He’ll thank you and give you the key to the house, letting you in freely. Speak to Vald in the garden and inform him that you’ve cleared his name with the Black-Briars.

Take the Quill back to Maven and she’ll free Vald from his debts. In the shipwreck, you’ll find Vald’s Lockbox. In the lake, about halfway between Riften and Goldenglow Estate, you’ll be able to find the boat. So, head over to the lake just West of Riften. If you haven’t started this quest yet, the boat will not be there. The Quill of Gemination is lost on a sunken boat in Lack Honrich. She’ll send you off to find the Quill of Gemination which it turns out Vald lost on her. Following that conversation, head on over to speak with Maven Black-Briar. Given our focus on the Quill of Gemination, we’ll want to speak with Vex about Vald’s debt. Speak with Vex About Vald’s DebtĪt this point in The Pursuit, you have a few different options. Following that, you will have a bit of a talk with the members of the guild, before Brynjolf sends you off to break into Mercer’s house to find out where he’s hiding. Present the trio with Gallus’ journal and they will open the vault to find it empty. Naturally, they will be quite unpleased about everything that’s transpired. Once you speak with Karliah, the two of you will proceed into the Flagon and be met by Brynjolf, Vex, and Delvin. You won’t be able to take the shortcut through the graveyard as it will be locked. Once you start The Pursuit, meet up with Karliah at the entrance to the Ragged Flagon. You will also already have Gallus’ journal decrypted and ready to present to the guild. Related Quests The Pursuit Meet with Karliah and Re-enter the Thieves GuildĪt this point in the Thieves Guild questline, Karliah will be back in the fold and Mercer will have turned on you. It doesn’t even spawn in until you activate The Pursuit quest. It’s a McGuffin in the truest sense, despite sounding like what should be a powerful artifact. The only gameplay purpose of the Quill of Gemination is that you can use it to clear Vald’s debt. It just belongs to Maven Black-Briar, and Vald lost it.

That sounds valuable and important, but there’s no use case or stories involving it.

We do why it’s so valuable, though.Īpparently, the Quill is capable of recreating any piece of writing that the user has seen, provided it has the right special kind of ink. For all intents and purposes, it’s a random item that the devs thought up on the fly to throw into this quest. We know basically nothing about the Quill of Gemination.
