Detailed Walkthrough

At the entrance to Redfur Trading Post, you come across Cinder-Tail and his senche-tiger, Gobani, being interrogated by a guard. Cinder-Tail says you chased after a thief and asks you to clear up the "misunderstanding." Tulira the guard is next to Cinder-Tail. You can lie to her or say you didn't see anything. As you continue to talk to her about thieves in the city, she reveals that Shan-ra, the leader of the city's merchant group, may have to punish thieves more harshly. Jode's Chariot, the guard Tulira works for, protects the merchants and keeps order in the city.

The Hollow Moon

After you finish talking to her, she leaves, and you talk to Cinder-Tail again. He did steal the moon-sugar. He tells you about the Hollow Moon, a group of thieves who steal things for those who can't afford them. He gives you a Hollow Moon Token to redeem at the ruined temple so you can see for yourself.

Talk to Fadi inside the trading post. She notices your wealth, but you give her the token. You offer to help, and she tells you to speak to Valirr, if you can "lift coin from a rich man's pocket without getting your hand stuck in it."

The Treasure of Anahbi

Valirr is upstairs. He tells you his reasons for stealing—he wants to save the poor from dying of hunger. Shan-ra has threatened to call the in the Thalmor. He needs to change Shan-ra's mind. He suggests using the riches from the city's ruins. However, the only entrance is in the same area as Jode's Chariot. He says you should speak to Tulira, who is probably just as unhappy about the situation as the Hollow Moon are. You can persuade him to tell you why Tulira will dislike the Thalmor, if you have the necessary perk. The Thalmor will mean the end of Jode's Chariot.

Tulira is northwest of the ruined temple. She gives you the key to the Tomb of Anahbi. The door to the tomb is behind her.

The tomb is filled with fire and spike traps. However, you make it past those and enter the Reliquary of Anahbi.

Examine A Dance in Moonlight. You need to help the thief cross the room by pressing the tiles on the floor. The quest markers show available moves. You can only move one square at a time.

Tile Solution

Press the third tile from the left in the first row. Next, press the third tile from the left in the second row. Press the third tile from left in the third row. The thief should kneel and take the chest, while the guards move forward. The guards will now follow you after you move.

Activate the third tile from left in the top row. Activate the second, then first tiles from left in the same row, then activate the first tile in the third row. The thief should open the chest. This unlocks the reliquary.

Take the last treasure of Anahbi from the chest in front of the altar. There is a ladder to the south you can use to bypass the traps and leave the ruin quickly.

Shan-ra

Find Shan-ra in the center of town. After Tulira and Valirr talk to him, you will be able to present him with the treasure. It is a beautiful gemstone known as Jode's Tear.

He will allow you to name your price. You can ask him not to call the Thalmor or for "gold and glory."

If you choose to ask him not to call the Thalmor, he will agree and decide to use the profit from the gem to bolster the security of the merchants. Next, you talk to Valirr, who gives you a reward.

Notes

Prior to patch 1.6, there was an additional taks before being sent to the Tomb of Anahbi. You would have to obtain valuable items from merchants (either by buying or by stealing), and then redistribute them to people in need. The Hollow Moon Garb was handed out as a means of avoiding the fine for stealing.
