Onmund’s Request

After a couple of conversations with Onmund, he asks you for help regarding a private matter. When you ask what is wrong, he tells you he’s entered into an “agreement” with Enthir. Onmund has mistakenly traded an amulet that belongs to his family, and he regrets parting with it. He hopes you can talk to him and get it back. Ask him more questions about the amulet if you wish before heading off to find Enthir.

Head to Enthir’s room in the Hall of Attainment, or elsewhere in the College if he’s wandering, and tell him that he has something of Onmund’s, who wants it back. Enthir scoffs and tells you his trades are firm and final. Apparently, there’s nothing more to be said. You can:

• (Persuade) Tell him it’s in everyone’s best interest if he returns the amulet.
• Or ask him if there’s something you can do to change his mind.

Enthir isn’t interested in you buying the amulet, and the persuasion is difficult (but not impossible). Usually, you’re left with a task Enthir wishes you to complete: He tells you a story about someone (him) who traded some valuables for a staff. Afterward, that someone (Enthir) realized the staff might be misused. This would make that person (him) look bad. So he wants the staff back and fails to see any irony in this task. Agree to this.

The staff is located randomly, somewhere in one of Skyrim’s dungeons or crypts. Find it on your world map, enter the location, and fight your way to the staff, which is always in a large treasure chest.
