Jarl Igmund gives the Dragonborn a miscellaneous quest to recover Hrolfdir's Shield, the shield belonging to his father. The quest is labeled "Find Hrolfdir's Shield for Igmund."
The quest cannot be completed if Thongvor Silver-Blood becomes Jarl of Markarth during Season Unending, because Igmund will no longer offer the quest due to his residence at the Blue Palace in Solitude.

This quest is a prerequisite for purchasing a house in Markarth, which in turn is required before becoming Thane.
