Trinkets from the Reach

"You there! The Imperial Legion of West Weald has need of your services. There are problems throughout the region and not enough legionaries to deal with them.
Would you be available to hire?"

What do you need me to do?

"Root around in rubble and retrieve any Reachfolk trinkets you can find. It seems that during Varen Aquilarios's uprising to claim the Ruby Throne, Leovic requested aid from the Reachfolk. One such clan met its end at what is now called Varen's Watch."

Why are you interest in old Reachfolk trinkets?

"Oh, I'm not. But Count Calantius is, and he tasked the Legion with recovering them for a Reach diplomat. Apparently these trinkets, that Varen's forces considered unimportant and tossed in rubble heaps, actually have some sort of sentimental value."

All right. I'll gather the Reachfolk trinkets from Varen's Watch.

"Everything is recorded and official. Now get to it. The sooner you complete the task, the sooner you get paid."

Why does a Reach diplomat care about some old, discarded trinkets?

"Have you ever met a Reachfolk? They're a superstitious lot. As I understand it now, their warriors carry these trinkets into battle to appease their gods or give them luck or something. Anyway, they also have some sort of spiritual connotation."

What do you mean?

"The Reach diplomat claims the clans cannot rest until the trinkets are returned to them and certain rites are performed. It's all beyond me, but Count Calantius says we can't risk angering the Despot of Markarth. We have enough problems as it is."

The Despot of Markarth?

"Ard Caddach, ruler of the Reach. The diplomat bears his seal and speaks with his authority. The count would prefer to just return the trinkets and mollify the despot, thus avoiding escalating the situation.
Besides, we have no need of the trinkets."

Oh, you mean Ard Caddach. (if you met Ard Caddach)

"Why, yes. I wasn't aware you and the despot were on a first-name basis. Regardless, the diplomat bears his seal and speaks with his authority. They want the trinkets and the count wants to return them.\n\nHe'd prefer to just resolve this situation."

Is the Imperial Legion really stretched so thin that you have to hire mercenaries?

"Believe me, I would rather send trained legionaries, but there are none to spare. When Emperor Varen disappeared, cohorts from across the Empire were summoned to Imperial City. We barely have enough soldiers to protect Skingrad, let alone the Weald."

What kinds of tasks do you need help with?

"Anything that threatens the safety of Skingrad and West Weald. As I said, just a few years ago, Count Calantius and the Legion would never stoop to hiring common mercenaries. But times change.
If you're willing to help, you will be paid well."

Who are you exactly?

"I am a commandant in the Imperial Legion, assigned to the Third Cohort in Skingrad and currently serving as an attache to Count Calantius.
I have been tasked with evaluating threats and securing mercenaries such as yourself to deal with them."

After your return:

"Another mercenary back from the field. Give me the news, soldier." (he may you greet you with other line)

Here are the Reachfolk trinkets I recovered.

"Gods, they certainly smell rather Reachy. But if returning these baubles to Caddach's diplomat will please the count, then I too am pleased.
Now, take this for your troubles. I suspect you will find it more valuable than what you have just given me."

If you finished your daily quest already:

"All of my tasks have been dealt with for the moment. Return later and I am certain to have something else for you to do. Count Calantius and the Imperial Legion appreciate your interest."
