This quest begins after the player clears a dungeon in the main Skyrim worldspace. Upon exiting the dungeon, a khajiit named Sha'khar will approach the player and speak to them.
If the player tells Sha'khar they aren't interested, he will remain at the East Empire Camp Whiterun south of the Whiterun Stables in case the player changes their mind.
Otherwise, the player will be told about and handed an East Empire Relic to experiment with. The player can then choose to be accompanied by Sha'khar for a demonstration, or opt to try the relic on their own.
Either way, the player will receive an objective to place the relic in a container inside the dungeon they just cleared.
After placing the East Empire Relic in a container inside the dungeon they cleared, a prompt will tell the player to add additional items they wish to be transported.
After exiting the container inventory screen, Sha'khar will approach the container and play a short scene. Afterwards, the items will be removed from the container.
Sha'khar will then ask the player if they wish to accompany him back to camp. If the player chooses this option, they will need to follow Sha'khar back to East Empire Camp Whiterun.
If the player declines, Sha'khar will reveal the map marker location for the camp, and the player will receive an objective to meet him there.
If the player skips the demonstration, they will receive an objective to leave the items in the container so the East Empire Company can pick them up.
Removing the East Empire Relic from the container at this point before they arrive will terminate the pickup, and the player will need to place it again in a container to resume the quest.
After enough time has passed for the East Empire Company to deliver the items, the player's objective will update, pointing them to the camp to collect their items.
Once the player reaches the camp after the items have been delivered (either by Sha'khar or East Empire employees), they will receive an objective to collect their items, which will point to an East Empire Delivery container. Activating this container will trigger Sha'khar to start another scene.
This scene will complete the quest and potentially start the next.
