Skyrim:Compelling Tribute (Stormcloaks)

Summary

After reporting to Galmar Stone-Fist, you will be told that Raerek, the steward of Markarth, is secretly a worshipper of Talos and that you will need to find some evidence of this, and then convince him to help the Stormcloaks. Head to Markarth and go into the Understone Keep. Find Raerek's quarters, located to the right as you walk towards the throne. There is a guard there who may or may not talk to you. Don't go up the stairs; instead, take a right and look left. Guards frequently patrol the halls at all hours, however Raerek will be attending to the Jarl throughout most of the day. Sneak in the room, you need to pick the lock, so make sure you have some lockpicks with you. In the dresser against the wall, directly in sight from the doorway, you will find an inscribed amulet of Talos.

The quest involves espionage and theft, aligning with Stormcloak interests and destabilizing Imperial authority. It requires stealth and offers moderate rewards, with potential for betrayal and cruelty.
