Zabeth

Zabeth is a Redguard spirit of a former initiate of Rahni'Za. He will aid you by giving you some information about the Rahni'Za trials and the betrayer of the Sword-Disciples.

Unlike the other disciples who fell under the controlling spell, Zabeth decided to take his own self out by falling on his blade rather than join the thrall army.

The Trials of Rahni'Za

You will meet Zabeth near the entrance to the school. He is suspicious about your appearance, asking, "Who are you? How have you come to avenge us? You will find few allies here. Abelazar the betrayer has turned all of the Sword-Disciples into thralls. He would have turned me as well, if I had been less of a coward."

What do you mean?

"When the betrayer struck, the Sword-Disciples held fast to their honor and took up their blades against him.

For their efforts, they were turned into a mindless army. But I took the coward's way. I fell on my own blade rather than join Abelazar."

What can you tell me about Abelazar the betrayer?

"He came among us as an initiate, seeking to master the trials and win the right to be called Sword-Disciple.

He was the best I'd ever seen. The way he moved with a blade, it was mesmerizing. But it was all a lie."

What do you mean?

"His allegiance was to the Celestial Serpent, not to us. His mastery was deceptive magic, not skill.

When he reached the end of the final trial, he murdered our master and used foul magic to turn the Sword-Disciples into thralls."

Thralls?

"The thralls are neither living nor dead. They answer only to the Serpent's will.

It's too late to save them, but you may give them rest by killing Abelazar and destroying his master, the Serpent."

You can ask Zabeth more about the trials that await you inside Rahni'Za,

What can you tell me about the trials?

"There are five trials. You've completed the first, by entering this place. Then there's the Trial of the Arena, the Trial of the Air, and the Trial of Martial Knowledge.

Then there is the final trial, the Trial of the True Path."

What is the Trial of the Arena?

"A test of stamina and pacing. The easiest of the three - if you have good allies by your side.

The arena master is a spirit who has dwelt in this place since its founding. He wasn't affected by all of this. He'll tell you all you need to know."

What is the Trial of Air?

"I never completed the Trial of Air. The other initiates told me of a hidden path across the tops of the school's buildings. It can only be seen when special sands are thrown upon it.

Where the path leads, I can't say."

What is the Trial of Martial Knowledge?

"On entering Rahni'Za, we were each given a book describing the trials. There's a place in the library for each of the books.

As I understand it, only those who managed to acquire a complete set could complete the Trial of Martial Knowledge."

When spoken to again, Zabeth wishes you good luck with your endeavour, saying, "Divines guide your sword-arm and let your spells strike true. Slay Abelazar the betrayer and grant rest to the Sword-Disciples."
