Detailed Walkthrough

Find the Master Orator

Once you raise your Speechcraft skill to 70, speak to Gruiand Garrana in The Great Chapel of Arkay or Varon Vamori in Bravil. They will inform you that they can no longer train you and recommend that you receive your training from a master, Tandilwe.

Comfort the Poor

In order to receive Tandilwe's training, you must first speak to every beggar in Cyrodiil. There are nineteen of them, five in the Imperial City, and two each in the other major cities, as listed below. All you need to do is start a dialogue with each of the beggars. There will be no acknowledgment given when you have spoken to all of them; simply return to Tandilwe for training. If you have previously spoken with any beggars (for example, many Thieves Guild quests are facilitated by talking to beggars), then those earlier conversations will count towards this quest. If you can remember the beggars with whom you have already spoken, you do not need to talk with them again.

Be aware that you may not kill any beggars while this quest is active. This restriction includes casting Frenzy spells on the beggars so that they attack the guards, effectively causing them to commit suicide (you will not acquire a bounty for doing so but Tandilwe will blame you for the death in any case). If you kill any beggar before speaking with her, she will respond with:

"The death of any helpless individual is tragic, and reprehensible when it could have been prevented. I hold you responsible. You will receive no training from me. Not now, or ever!"

Notes

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in random order.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• It is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage TrainingSpeechcraft stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages. See SetStage for more information.
