Skyrim:Kolskeggr Mine (quest)

Summary

Upon arriving at Left Hand Mine outside of Markarth, you may overhear a discussion between Skaggi Scar-Face, who is in charge of the mine, and Pavo Attius. Pavo and his fellow miner Gat gro-Shargakh are the only survivors of a Forsworn invasion of Kolskeggr Mine. Skaggi is visibly upset by this news; he gives the two survivors permission to stay at Left Hand Mine, and vows to send word to the Jarl. If you speak with Skaggi, he expresses his concern over the increasing Forsworn threat and the timeliness of a response from the Jarl. If you agree to clear out the mine, he will be grateful, but skeptical about your ability to survive. Speaking with Pavo will also initiate the quest and he will also offer the same sentiments about the Jarl's response and your success in the mine. The quest may not start and dialogue options may not be available if The Forsworn Conspiracy is not completed and your bounty in Markarth is high.

The quest involves clearing a mine of Forsworn, which benefits the miners and rewards the player with gold and Blood-Kin status. It has elements of heroism and altruism, with moderate greed due to the gold reward.
