With permission granted, head back outside to speak to the guard in the graveyard again. Speak to him, and he gives you permission to proceed, pledging both his support and that of the city guards if needed. During the day he is often nearby the Jarl's throne, but by night he may be found sleeping on a bedroll in the keep's kitchen just off the throne room. The Jarl's assistant can be found within the Palace of the Kings, the keep in Windhelm wherein Ulfric Stormcloak presides and coordinates the Stormcloak Rebellion with his military advisors. This is where the player comes in.Īsk the guard if they need help with the investigation, and the guard agrees as long as permission is obtained from the Jarl's assistant before you go snooping around. If the player speaks to the guard and asks what happened, the guard will mention that this seems to be just the latest in a string of murders with the same modus operandi that have been taking place in Windhelm of late, but nobody has been able to witness the culprit and the city guards are spread too thin to be able to invetigate. A young woman lies dead, and is being tended to by the Priestess of Arkay under the watchful eye of the guard. When the player enters the graveyard district, there will be a city guard and a few NPC characters standing near the scene of a grisly murder.
