Detailed Walkthrough

Tarom wishes you to investigate the matter of Gilara Renus' continued contribution to the Grand Chapel of Akatosh. It seems that she has stopped making payments, and Tarom would like you to convince her to resume.

Gilara Renus can be found within Firewatch's Census and Excise building on the docks, by the gate to the main town. Ask her about her continued contribution. She would, of course, love to help.

"Theurgist Tarom sent you to personally inquire about my continued contribution to the chapel? Well, of course I'm willing to continue making regular donations. My devotion to Akatosh is unassailable, my love for the chapel of the East Empire Everlasting as boundless as the Abecean sea. If I could, I would donate a thousand septims for each hour, no, each minute that Akatosh gave me upon Nirn, and double that for each day the Empire's banner flew proudly over this city. However, as of late I have been faced with an impossible conundrum that even my piety has been unable to resolve. I've been praying to Akatosh day and night, hoping that he might send some minor miracle."

It appears, in short, that she would like assistance from the Imperial Cult before any more donations are forthcoming. Ask her about the minor miracle. She will inform you that one Anice Derielle has been consistently failing to pay the taxes she owes. If Anice can be convinced to do so, Gilara will resume her own payments to the chapel. If you don't want to do all of that work, Gilara can be intimidated into continuing her donations (this method requires 60+ disposition however).

Anice Derielle lives in Firewatch's poorest neighborhood, Uriel's Quarter. Look for the area with the thatched roofs - you will find Anice's house by the well. Speak to her about the minor miracle. It transpires that she owes a debt to her clothier, and so cannot afford her taxes. She asks the Imperial Cult to show a little charity, and pay the clothier Fedrin Adlan for her new dress. You can choose to help her out, or intimidate her into paying up.

Fedrin Adlan owns a shop in Vaynth Quarter, which is the northern square of the city, with the fountain. Speak to him about the outstanding order. He'll demand 200 gold to release the dress. You'll need to pay this, and bring it back to Anice, who will be ecstatic. She will at least promise to pay her taxes going forward. Return to Gilara at the Customs and Excise building with the good news. She'll give you a letter for Tarom's eyes. Bringing this to him will complete the quest.

Notes

• During quest development, the plan was also to place the dress within Fedrin's shop, so it could be stolen if necessary. However, this option has not made it into the Embers of Empire release, despite dialogue existing for it in the file.
