To Kill an Empire

Overview

 * Prerequisite: Recipe for Disaster


 * Quest Giver: Astrid

Walkthrough
This quest begins once you complete Dark Brotherhood Quest: Recipe for Disaster.

Objective: Report to Astrid

TIP: Don’t forget to wear the Nightweaver’s Band if you acquired it during the previous quest!

Astrid realizes what you’ve accomplished and prepares you for the honor of assassinating the Emperor. You’re to head to Castle Dour in Solitude and present the Gourmet’s Writ of Passage to the officer in charge, Commander Maro.

Astrid then tells you that you’re going to prepare a special meal for the Emperor, with an extra ingredient that she hands you. Before you depart, you can ask for more details on Jarrin Root and other information. (Astrid tells you one taste of Jarrin Root is deadly, and she means it. Go to your inventory and eat it, and you’ll drop dead.)

Item gained: Jarrin Root

Objective: Report to Commander Maro Target: Castle Dour courtyard, in Solitude



Journey to Solitude and locate the sprawling Castle Dour atop the hill. Step into the large courtyard and find Commander Maro waiting by the tower entrance. He certainly isn’t going to let anyone in with the Emperor staying.
