I would also visit the Forgotten Vale, and I wouldn't rather die anywhere else but there. Yeah! Purge the place!

I have an outstanding bounty of 8,400 gold at Markarth, because I could not stand the outright corruption, and killed the guards who tried to lay everything on me. You get a bounty for standing up to corruption. That's corrupt, man! I have a few methods for ridding Markarth of the Silver-Blood influence, as well as the corrupt guards. Not perfect, but it makes the town far more tolerable to live in:

- Postpone the Civil War questline until you receive the quest "Season Unending". During this quest, make the appropriate negotiations to hand over Markarth to the Stormcloaks. This will result in the abdication of Jarl Igmund, and Thongvor Silver-Blood will become the Jarl of Markarth (Temporarily).

- After this, proceed with the Civil War questline and side with the Imperial Legion. This will set of a chain of events that will eventually lead to Markarth being reclaimed by the Empire, which will force Thongvor Silver-Blood into exile, and Igmund will reclaim the position of Jarl in Markarth.

(One Silver-Blood down, two to go)

- Proceed with the quest, 'The Forsworn Conspiracy' in Markarth.

- In this quest, you will kill a certain number of people, one of these can involve the death of Betrid Silver-Blood.

(Two Silver-Bloods down, one to go)

- You will eventually end up in Cidhna Mine, and you can either choose to conspire to help Madanach and his allies break out, or kill them. Obviously, we must help them. In helping the Forsworn break out of Cidhna Mine, we will accomplish two things.


 * The death of Thonar Silver-Blood,


 * And a large number of the corrupt Markarth guard, who will then be replaced by new Guards, which is what we want.

New order cannot be achieved without the destruction of the old...
