This quest starts automatically after walking close to {{coords|78|1|Elfsong Tavern}} in the [[Lower City]]. [[The Emperor|The Emperor's]] voice calls out that it was the location of its old hideout and that there may be useful supplies there that the party could take.  

A group of githyanki soldiers are lying in wait in the hideout, led by [[Ch'r'ai Har'rak]]. The Ch'r'ai asks questions of the party and what the Emperor offered them in exchange for their servitude, but most of the options lead to combat. The githyanki warriors need to be defeated to further explore the hideout. This encounter contains a paladin and two gatemasters, who are capable of summoning more githyanki to the fight. A successful intimidation check (DC18) can make the githyanki leave peacefully.

Behind the statue to the north, on the right side of an indent is a hidden button {{coords|-734|577}} (Perception DC 13, must be very close). This leads to the area where the Emperor kept many precious mementos, some of which can be uncovered by passing additional perception checks. These items include:

* [[Sword of the Emperor]] {{coords|-734|589}}

* [[Recipe for Fiddlehead Soup]] {{coords|-744|587}}

* '''Butter Fork:''' ''"My cutlery set - a gift from my mother. The butter knife is missing, but otherwise it looks to be complete. I don't need it anymore, but the memory stirs something in me still."''<ref>Yes, the name of the item is "Butter Fork", implicitly because of the "missing" butter knife. As Forgotten Realms lore claims, the butter knife was not actually missing

* '''Stelmane's Portrait:''' ''"There she is in all her glory - Duke Belynne Stelmane. My old partner."''<ref>The game asset used for the portrait item is a renamed version of the painting item "Portrait Of A Woman." Dialogue with [[Wyll]] implies that this portrait is still accurate to what she looked like, albeit at a younger age.</ref>

* '''Recipe for Fiddlehead Soup:''' ''"A recipe for fiddlehead soup - a favourite meal of mine, when I had need of meals like that."''<ref>It may be necessary to ''pick up'' the item to trigger this commentary, rather than just interacting.</ref>

* '''Dog Collar:''' ''"Rascal's collar...My poor four-legged friend. Their lives are so brief, so simple, and yet - full."''<ref>Interacting with this item will often equip the collar to the necklace slot of the controlled character. It is not known if this behaviour is a bug.</ref>

* '''Sword of the Emperor:''' ''"My old sword - my first purchase as an adventurer. No use to me anymore. It's yours, if you want it."''<ref>Interacting with this item will sometimes automatically equip it to the player's melee weapon slot.</ref>

* If the player character has an overall "positive" relationship with the Emperor, then completing this quest allows certain scenes to trigger on the next available Long Rest.
