When speaking to Kharjo, he will remark that the caravan was ambushed by a group of bandits. Normally, the Khajiit are able to scare away this type of nuisance, but this time the bandits made off with his heirloom amulet. The amulet was given to him by his mother when he was a cub, and is the only thing to keep him warm in this cold land. When you tell him that you will retrieve it for him, he is appreciative of your desire to help, but will also say that it is not enough to lose your life over. He will then send you to the randomly determined bandit hideout.

As early as the eighth century B.C., the bulla was imitated in amber for pendants on necklaces, but it is important to note that documented finds of amber bullae come almost exclusively from elite female burials (figure 34).158 Strings of amber bullae excavated in Latium and the Basilicata date to the early seventh century. Bullae of amber were special translations of the form: they were sun-shaped and sun-colored, shining like the sun, and instead of containing amuletic substances inside a metal envelope, the material itself was a curative (remedia) that could enclose inclusions.
In 1886 I was by moonlight in a camp of gypsies in the old Roman amphitheatre nearBudapest. It was a very picturesque sight, what with [239]the blazing fire, the strangely-dressed men, the wild shrieking, singing, and dancingwomen. And when, as I have before mentioned, they showed me the shells which theycarried for amulets, they exhibited one much larger of conch-like form, the tip ofwhich had been removed and to which there was attached a flexible tube. This was usedin a very remarkable trick. The shell, or one like it, is put into the hands of theperson consulting the oracle, who is directed to listen to the voice of the Nivashi,or spirit of the air. Then he is blindfolded, the tube applied, and through it thegypsy speaks in a trained soft voice. Thus, in conchomanteia, the oracles still liveand devotees still hear the fairies talk. 2ff7e9595c
