Helvard fighting back inside the Jarl's Longhouse

Quick Walkthrough

1. Get the contract from Nazir.
2. Kill Helvard.
3. Return to Nazir.

Detailed Walkthrough

Once you have spoken to Nazir you will have found out that Helvard is the Housecarl to the Jarl of Falkreath. You may find Helvard in the Jarl's Longhouse in Falkreath.

If you approach Helvard before attacking him, you will be given 3 dialogue options, you can only pick one as you won't be able to speak to him again.

Topic	Dialogue	Response
"You protect the Jarl. But who protects you?"	"And why would I... Oh. Oh! Guards! Guards, I need assistance!"	Turns hostile and attacks
"The Dark Brotherhood has come! "	"Fiend! You will not leave here alive! Guards! Guards!"	Nobody will come, but Helvard turns hostile and attacks
(remain silent)	"Right. Well. If you have some kind of official business with the jarl, I'm afraid now's not the time. Go on then. Off with you."	Walks away

An alternative is to use stealth and kill Helvard while he sleeps in the Jarl's Longhouse.

Bugs

• Completing this quest may make it impossible to purchase Lakeview Manor^HF from Siddgeir.
  • The Unofficial Skyrim Patch, version 2.0.4, fixes this bug.
  • If Dengeir of Stuhn becomes jarl, you may still purchase the property.
  • You may also still purchase property if you complete Siddgeir's quests after killing Helvard, or exile him in Season Unending and later retake Falkreath for him.
  • You can inspect the relationship rank with the jarl by using the player.getrelationshiprank console command (normally you should get -2 foe, or worse) likewise you may set a good relation (positive, max 4) with the jarl by using this player.setrelationshiprank 19822 4 command. A relationship rank of 3 or better will allow you to purchase property.

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 DBSideContract11 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 DBSideContract11.
