Quests

Deliver Adonato’s Book to Giraud – Adonato asks you to take his newest work to Giraud Gemane at the Bards College in Solitude. The book you carry is a copy of Olaf and the Dragon, described as recently completed. Its text is nearly identical to the regular copies you can find around Skyrim, so you are not missing a secret edition.

Personality & relationships

Adonato is the dreamy writer type. He believes the world needs stories of heroism now more than ever, asks if you know any tales of courage he could write down, and reminds travelers to stop and enjoy the view now and then. He is determined to finish his book somehow.

He also mourns someone called Isabella, a helpful young woman who is no longer around, and he clearly misses her.
