Background[]

Objectives[]

  1. Enter the Hall of Trials
  2. Enter the Arena
  3. Observe the Champion
  4. Defeat the Stormfist Clan
  5. Talk to Jorunn the Skald-King
  6. Talk to Thane Mera Stormcloak

Walkthrough[]

After discovering the plot to assassinate King Jorunn during "Windhelm's Champion" and informing Mera Stormcloak, she will tell the Vestige the following.

One Victor, One King 2

"Fildgor is Jorunn's twin brother. When Queen Nurnhilde fell in battle, the brothers joined forces to defeat the Akaviri, but then they fought over the throne. Jorunn won the day and exiled his brother. Now Fildgor has returned."

What does Fildgor want? "What does any exile want? Needless to say, to announce his presence in this manner can't bode well for King Jorunn. The final event has started in the Hall of Trials. I'll send guards to the camp. You need to go to the hall and help the king!"

I'll protect King Jorunn. "Hurry! To the Hall of Trials! You must protect King Jorunn at all costs."

The Vestige must hurry to the Hall of Trials, in the eastern part of the city. Upon arriving, they will witness Leimaer the Raven defeat her opponent in combat and subsequently be named champion. As King Jorunn approaches a kneeling Leimaer to grant her the title, one of his guards notifies him that her opponent has been poisoned, upon which Leimar lunges for the king and all her clan members turn hostile. After defeating all the Stormfirst Clan members, the Vestige must speak to King Jorunn, who will say the following.

One Victor, One King 3

"This was a message from my brother. One I wasn't meant to survive. I feared this day would come."

Are you alright, King Jorunn? "A mere scratch, nothing more. The Stormfist clan's assassins are dead, and that's good enough for me. I guess I've become too complacent, while Fildgor's hatred has obviously deepened and festered."
Your brother hates you? "After dear Nurnhilde fell in battle, my brother and I threw back the invaders. Afterward, we disagreed on who should succeed our sister. I believed in diplomacy and wisdom. Fildgor believed in rule by force."
Why has Fildgor returned? "When I won the throne, I was forced to exile Fildgor. He never forgave me for that. So I assume he returned to take the throne. I wonder what he promised his Stormfist and Orc allies? I need to think about this. Please tell Thane Mera that I'm fine."

Upon returning to Thane Mera and assuring her of King Jorunn's safety, she will thank the Vestige and reward them, after which the quest is completed.
