To reach the mine, take the silt strider from Andothren to Arvud, via Menaan. Then leave Arvud via it's southern exit and immediately head west over the ridge. You'll soon reach Ernabapalit Camp. Walk a few steps northwest from that camp, into a ditch between two ash ridges, and turn left to walk along the ditch. Proceed northwest along the ditch until it opens out, then follow the ash ridge to your right around to the north. The mine entrance will quickly come into view.

Gelvu Andas welcomed me to Ushu-Kur Mine. The overseer paid me 200 septims for my trouble of getting here. She told me familiarize myself with the mine, the other guards, the convict workers, and the surrounding area. When I think I'm ready for further orders, I should speak with Gelvu Andas.
