The Watch Captain Astanya for Elder Scrolls Online Weapons Collectors

Locate the watch captain to interrogate her. However, she will interrupt you and place you under arrest for plotting to kill the Queen, and because you have poisoned meat and secret documents on you as evidence, she will knock you out and take you to prison. Once you wake up, you’ll find Fasion lying near you in the cell, dead. Razum-dar will let you out of the cell shortly after, directing you to warn the queen and her Battlereeve about the assassination plot.

Disguise Your Way Through for Elder Scrolls Online Weapons Collectors

Find your way out of the prison and go to the market to find another working agent known as Eshaba, disguised as a merchant. Request a souvenir of the First Marines, and she will tell you to check the chest behind her, which contains a Vulkhel Guard Marine disguise to help you enter the temple area without incident. Alternatively, you can skip the disguise section by entering the temple area through the Vulkhel Guard Outlaws Refuge. If not, equip the outfit and get past the guards, then speak with Battlereeve Urcelmo about the impending threat to the Queen’s life. He will doubt you, but the Queen will request that you follow through with your investigation on Astanya and asks you to check out the temple. 

Uncovering the Assassination Plot for Elder Scrolls Online Weapons Collectors

Before you enter the temple with Urcelmo, stack up on Elder Scrolls Online items as an instance will immediately occur upon reaching the second level. Astanya will appear, sending assassins against you. Make sure to defeat two of the assassins at a time. After all six are defeated, Astanya will come down to fight you herself. Kill her and report back to the Queen, who is disappointed that Astanya really was behind the plot. She will offer that you become an elite agent, and asks that you meet her at Tanzelwil, a ruin to the North.
