If you're stupid like me, don't forget to turn the quest before going to the next NPC looking for the Opal or you won't be able to continue the quest chain. ^_^x

If you’re staring at the buy window trying to figure out where to find the vial, don’t worry she’s about to send you to find it.

If you've come here and can't find the NPC Merrix who starts this chain, check out this quest chain first: How Scandalous!. Completing this chain allows you to start the Security Through Trade chain.

Meet Bevrusi at /way 55.54 50.36. NPC may be hidden by players on their mounts.

Comment by DaemoniKira

After accepting Security Through Trade but before leaving to find Bevrusi, you can speak with Merrix and ask him some questions to learn more about the characters involved in this present situation. The following are those questions and his replies to each, copied verbatim.

Why do you support Steelvein's operations if they defy your Edicts?

For a moment, you sounded just like Baelgrim.

As you can attest, Steelvein's operations are necessary within Dornogal. They benefit all earthen, above ground and below.

Steelvein's methods may bend the Edicts in ways my councillors disapprove of, but given the turmoil between the Unbound and the workers in the Deeps, sometimes one must... look the other way.

Who is Ardgrin and how are they connected to Steelvein?

Overseer Ardgrin manages the shipping tracks down in the Deeps. He ensures the supplies we send to the Machine Speakers are distributed and in turn, the raw materials they process are sent up to us.

It would seem that Ardgrin has--or rather, had--some sort of back alley deal with Steelvein to smuggle up supplies otherwise prohibited by our Edicts.

Why is Ardgrin interfering with Steelvein's shipments?

<Merrix hums in thought for a moment.>

I cannot say for sure, but I would imagine it has something to do with the dwindling supplies and raw materials we have been receiving from the Unbound.

Unfortunately, this means sending fewer shipments into the Deeps, despite the trade they continue to send up.

Officially, Dornogal has a mutual trade arrangement with them, so this appears to be a personal grievance...

Description

If we're to solve this quarrel between Steelvein and Ardgrin amicably, then we'll need to make some new friends. One of Ardgrin's employees, Obstorn, frequents a cinderbrew speakeasy here in Dornogal. Only Machine Speakers may enter it. Even as Councilward, I am not able to access it. However, there are others in the city who can. Bevrusi, a Gundargaz trader, should be able to give you access. If you can grease her palm, she may be able to supply you access.
