Khajiit here, slick with a tale that might just tickle your curiosity. The brass watch you seek? I once saw a gleaming piece in a hidden stall of an old caravan market in the Rift. The seller claimed it belonged to a wandering watchmaker who claimed the watch could outlast the dunes, but he had a trick—he kept a tiny vial of moonwater in the case. That vial, when opened by a true seeker at midnight, keeps the gears alive. If you find that vial or a map that leads to the old watchmaker’s forgotten workshop, you might just find the brass pocket watch you’re chasing. Listen for the whisper of the wind in the desert; it knows the path to treasure. Good luck, but watch out for those who’ll try to steal the gem of the watch’s charm.

Khajiit here. I don’t keep maps in my satchel, but I can point you to a trail that’s easier than a blind walk. First, start at the old stone fountain in the market square of Varnam – look for the one that’s half buried in moss. Walk north until the road splits, then take the path that leads to the ridge where the wind howls. On that ridge, a broken stone column marks the place where the watchmaker used to keep his shop – the columns are half collapsed, the door is gone, but the floor is marked with faint runes that glow in the moonlight. From there, the path twists east into the ravine that runs by the old watchtower. Skip the first two stone steps, then you’ll find a narrow crawl space beneath a loose rock. Inside that, you’ll see a small wooden chest. Open it, and you might find the moonwater vial and the watch itself. Keep your eyes on the shadows; those who chase treasure rarely find it without a little luck or a silver smile. Good luck, and may your paws stay light.
