The quest doesn't seem to be working as nileno dorvayn's dialogue options won't start it and crassius himself never mentions anything about sponsorship so i don't know what to do here to fix this. Is there any sort of start quest command? I am currently a kinsman in hlallu.I also did some diving into tes4edit for the quest ID and the quest won't work with the setstage command either.After more investigation i have also found that crassius' dialogue indicates that i have already finished all of his buisness quests even though i haven't and my disposition with him also indicates this.
