An assassin has infiltrated the Blue Palace and ruthlessly murdered the queen. The Vestige accompanies Lyris Titanborn in bringing the assassin to justice.
"I am Gerhyld, Queen of Skyrim. Allow me to welcome you on behalf of our kingdom, our city, and our hold. Who might you be?"
<player name>, your majesty."The letter that preceded your arrival said an attempt was made on the Skald-King's life. It indicated that High King Svargrim would be next. My husband took that as an accusation and a threat. He will not meet with you, but I will hear you out."
I've witnesses some concerning things since I arrived here, your majesty."Have you anything that would persuade my husband? It will take some substantial evidence to convince High King Svargrim to heed the words of the hated Jorunn the Skald-King."
There's evidence of Reachmen activity around Solitude."Reachmen transgressions will not be enough for Svargrim to accept outside help. He's a prideful man and the bad blood between him and Jorunn runs deep. I will speak on your behalf, but you and Lyris will need to bring me proof he cannot ignore."
We'll find that proof, your majesty."Thank you for alerting me to this situation. I am eager to see what else you uncover. I will do what I can, but be as discreet as possible. If you run afoul of my husband, he won't hesitate to return you to Jorunn—and not necessarily in one piece."
