A while ago, I received a letter from the Siddgeir, Jarl of Falkreath. He requests I visit Falkreath as he has need of someone of my skill...
Since there were a few other quests that needed attention to the south, I decided to pay the good Jarl a visit. Siddgeir is said to be a young Jarl recently come to his position. The hold itself is very old and is known for being involved in many conflicts, being at the southernmost part of Skyrim, bordering imperial Cyrodil.
The way south brings us the encampment called Roadside Ruins, where some bandits were preying on travellers - I sneaked into the ruins to find that the bandits had themselves been waylaid by a Spriggan - a malevolent wood spirit.
In Falkreath, the Jarl requests that I help him clear some bandits... apparently this Jarl was not beneath colluding with bandits for a cut of their profits. Since the bandits had ceased sending tribute, he’d decided to cut them loose and send me after them. Still, I’m here already - might as well stay to see the sights.
I met Siddgeir's uncle, Dengeir, in the local tavern. Dengeir is a supporter of the Stormcloaks. He claimed that he abdicated his position for his nephew unwillingly, saying that the Empire ousted him to place someone friendly to the imperial cause in his place. Currently Falkreath sides with the empire, with an imperial representative advising the Jarl. The old Jarl - now a Thane - had me searching to find evidence of imperial spies amongst the residents - I can't make up my mind whether he's serious or addled.
Exploring around town also revealed a recent tragedy - a little girl was killed (torn into pieces) by one Sinding. A man shouldn’t be strong enough to do this. Sinding is under arrest in a cell in the barracks now. This bears investigation.
