Taking Pity on an Old Madman

Wandering between the graveyard (just below the Hall of the Dead) and the Bard’s College in Solitude is a strange man named Dervenin. As you approach, you see that he has two sunken black holes where his eyes once were. Agitated, he asks you to help him. He isn’t the usual beggar you encounter in these Hold Cities.

Ask what he needs and he tells you his master has abandoned him and doesn’t want to see him anymore. His master doesn’t want Dervenin interrupting his vacation. The last time Dervenin saw his master, he watched him visit the Blue Palace and snuck into the forbidden wing to “have tea” with an old friend. He hands you a Hip Bone; it’s important you have that when entering the Pelagius Wing. You can ask this mad old coot more questions about his master before you leave.

Items gained:
Pelagius’s Hip Bone

Objective: Gain access to the Pelagius Wing of the Blue Palace
