Not far from Whiterun lives a wealthy man, a thane of the hold that was permitted to build his own castle not far from the city. Unfortunately the only reasonable place was across from the infamous Fort Greymoor, once controlled by the Imperial Legion but now a heavily fortified bandit home. The thane had been raided too often from this fort, so a bounty was placed to clear the place out. A bounty Zanathez took on.

Though the thane had initially offered a large sum of gold as the reward, he decided on something a little different when he saw the lizard's weapon of choice. And so, he offered his personal bastard sword. Broader and sharper than the greatsword that the Argonian had been using prior, it was seen as a more than worthy trade.
