Hannat Zainsubani

Hannat Zainsubani is a Dark Elf thief and the son of Hassour Zainsubani in Ald'ruhn. He was last heard of when he left to chart the underground complex of Mamaea, and his father worries about him.

His only remaining possession is the pair of common pants he wears. Aside from his natural resistance to fire and the sanctuary provided by his ancestors, he knows no spells.

Hannat Zainsubani

While exploring the Mamaea caverns, you may encounter Hannat, who has been taken captive by the Sixth House cultists that dwell inside these caverns:

• "My name is Hannat Zainsubani. I entered this cavern seeking shelter from the weather, and these madmen stripped me and imprisoned me here. While I've been trapped here, I've had the most terrible dreams. I... don't know if I can trust my own eyes and ears. Please. I need an armed escort to the cavern entrance. They have left me nothing. I cannot offer you reward. But my father, Hassour Zainsubani, in Ald'ruhn, will gift you generously if you can rescue me."
• Hannat Zainsubani
  • "Yes, I am Hannat Zainsubani, son of Hassour Zainsubani."
• armed escort
  • "Shall I follow you now to the cavern entrance?"
  • Yes. Follow me.
    • "Thank you. I will follow you. Please guide me safely outside."
  • No. Wait for me here.
    • "I will wait for you here."

If you tell him to follow you to the cavern entrance, he will begin to act as your follower and will continue to do so until he dies or you safely lead him out of the cave. If you mention the topic "armed escort" again while he acts as your follower, he will give you a chance to scout ahead:

• armed escort
  • "Shall I wait for you here?"
  • No, keep following me.
    • "Thank you. I will follow you. Please guide me safely outside."
  • Yes, wait here.
    • "I will wait for you here."

You can also ask him about his father, Hassour Zainsubani, whom you may have already met during another quest (and who may, in fact, have sent you to look for Hannat in the first place):

• Hassour Zainsubani
  • [If you have reached at least stage 31 in the Zainsubani Informant quest.] "Ah, then you know my father? You can always find him at the Ald Skar Inn. If you can deliver me from this cavern, I'm sure he will reward you handsomely."
  • [Else.] "You will find my father at the Ald Skar Inn. If you can deliver me from this cavern, I'm sure he will reward you handsomely."

As soon as Hannat has safely made it out of the cave, he will thank you for saving his life:

• "Thank you, %PCName. I owe you my life. As you can see, I have nothing to give you. But go speak to my father, Hassour Zainsubani, at the Ald Skar Inn in Ald'ruhn, for courage and generosity must always be rewarded. Tell him that I am well, and will come to him as soon as I can. I have no token you might show him, but tell him that I blossom 'anew beneath tomorrow's sun' -- he will know who has sent you."
• armed escort
  • "Thank you for your armed escort. I could not have escaped without your help."

If you speak with him again after you have escorted him out of the caverns, he will greet you with the following words:

• "Thank you again for rescuing me. And don't forget to speak to my father Hassour Zainsubani at the Ald Skar Inn in Ald'ruhn."

Notes

• It is interesting to note that Hannat is, for whatever reason, one of the highest ranking Thieves Guild members. Despite this, the rest of the Thieves Guild members (excluding his father) don't seem to care about him or even acknowledge his existence.
