What to do after finding Eltrys dead?
After finding Eltrys dead, you will have to submit to arrest by the guards, which will initiate the No One Escapes Cidhna Mine quest, or you can try to run, but this will lead to the guards attempting to arrest you every time you enter Markarth. Following the arrest path is the most straightforward way to progress through the story, as it allows you to complete the quest and make decisions that affect the outcome, including the fate of Madanach and the Forsworn.
Understanding the Forsworn Conspiracy
Finding Eltrys dead is a pivotal moment in The Forsworn Conspiracy quest in Skyrim. This event sets off a chain of actions that can lead to various outcomes, depending on the player’s choices. To fully grasp the situation, it’s essential to consider the context and the characters involved, such as Thonar Silver-Blood and Nepos, and how they fit into the larger narrative of the Reach and the Forsworn.
The Role of the Player
The player’s decisions significantly impact the storyline, especially concerning Madanach, the leader of the Forsworn, and whether to help him or not. These choices can influence the player’s relationship with the Forsworn and the people of Markarth, potentially leading to alliances or further conflict.
