Deliver a letter to Captain Aldis in Solitude. Quest Giver: Gorm Location(s): Morthal, Castle Dour Reward: 20 gold Disposition: =1 (Gorm) ID: FreeformMorthalB Required Items: Gorm's Letter Difficulty: Easy

Captain Aldis of the Imperial Legion

Quick Walkthrough

1. Speak to Gorm when he's apart from the Jarl.
2. Deliver Gorm's letter to Captain Aldis in Solitude.

Detailed Walkthrough

If you speak to Gorm inside of Highmoon Hall he will act very defensively about Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone and her visions. His concerns go much beyond her safety though and if approached while apart from the Jarl, he will reveal that he is very concerned about the condition her gift has left her in. He believes that she may no longer be able to adequately act as Jarl of Hjaalmarch.

The easiest place to find Gorm outside of Highmoon Hall is at night in the Moorside Inn. He'll give you a letter to deliver to an Imperial Legion officer, Captain Aldis. Aldis can be found in Solitude at Castle Dour. Reading Gorm's Letter reveals that there is seemingly a plan in the works to remove Idgrod from power. Despite this, the only way she is actually removed from power in game is if the Stormcloaks take over Morthal. Aldis will reward you with 20 gold for delivering the letter.

Notes

• Counts for assisting people for Thane of Hjaalmarch.
• If siding with the Stormcloaks, this quest needs to be started before The Battle for Fort Hraggstad and finished before the Battle for Solitude to avoid issues.

Bugs

• The related quest or objective may not appear in your journal.
• If you complete the Stormcloaks quest Battle for Solitude, Aldis will no longer be part of the city and the quest marker will lead to a blank floor, where Aldis previously stood.
  • This bug is fixed by version 1.0 of the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
  • Captain Aldis can be spawned again using the console command player.placeatme 00041FB8. Afterwards, you can speak with him about quests like normal.

Notes

• Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the Radiant Quest system, and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.
• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
• If an entry is marked as "Finishes Quest" it means the quest disappears from the Active Quest list, but you may still receive new entries for that quest.
• On the PC, it is possible to use the console to advance through the quest by entering setstage FreeformMorthalB stage, where stage is the number of the stage you wish to complete. It is not possible to un-complete (i.e. go back) quest stages, but it is possible to clear all stages of the quest using resetquest FreeformMorthalB.
