Markarth City Guard

Markarth City Guards are guards who act as the military and police force of Markarth. These guards serve under Jarl Igmund. Should the Stormcloak forces gain control of Markarth, they will be replaced by Stormcloak Guards under the service of Jarl Thongvor. They wear a green version of the guard armor.

Dialogue

When visiting Markarth for the first time:

"First time in Markarth, traveler? Take my advice. You see anything, don't get involved. The city guard will take care of it."

Is there some problem in the city?

"See, there you go. Getting involved. Don't ask too many questions in Markarth. Safer for everyone that way."

Who's in charge of Markarth?

"Jarl Igmund sits on the Mournful Throne. You can find him in the keep, in the back end of the city inside the mountain."/"You here to see the Jarl? No sudden moves, understand?"

I just need some supplies and a drink.

"You're our favorite kind of traveler, then. The market area is just inside in the gate."

"Head on in. Keep your nose clean, and you won't have any problems with us."
