Detailed Walkthrough

The White Rose Prison has been built far from civilization to host prisoners the Empire didn't care about anymore. As such, you obviously don't expect to find anything interesting here, and above all not Gerent Hernik. He claims to work for the Vicecanons and needs to find a mysterious Argonian artifact, namely a keystone. Since the prisoners have taken the fort and don't let him in, he needs your help.

"Another visitor to White Rose Prison? This isn't exactly the main route."

Then what are you doing here?

"The vicecanons tracked one of the long-lost keystones to White Rose Prison. If we can recover it, this artifact would be a major boon to our war efforts.
Unfortunately, the prisoners don't trust the vicecanons, which means they don't trust me."

Perhaps they'll talk to me.

"You're welcome to try. We need that keystone.
Look for General Raetus, an old Imperial general they left here to rot. He's the prisoners' leader."

I'll go speak with him.

"Hopefully, the prisoners will let you in. We need that keystone."

Head to the prison to find General Raetus. You'll come across some guards on the way. They seem surprised to see you here, but give you a chance to explain what you seek in this cursed place.

I need to see General Raetus.

"You do, eh? It'd better be important. You'll find him in one of the ruined buildings north of here.
A word of advice: don't stray into the western side of the prison. Not unless you want to be eaten."

Eaten?

"For dinner. Some of the prisoners have gone feral.
Captivity with no hope of escape will do that to the weak-minded."

Thanks for the warning.

Three guards can give you General Raetus's location: Galeria, Marcel and Milam. Head to the north and enter the ruined building to find the general.

"What are you doing here? I have enough trouble without outsiders bringing more."

I've come on behalf of the vicecanons. They say a keystone is located here.

"The vicecanons expect our help? Where were the vicecanons when the Imperials left us to rot?
We've been trapped here for years. Half the prisoners lost their minds and started eating the rest of us."

Why didn't you just leave?

"Don't you think we've tried? My Imperial brethren used the power of your precious keystone to bind us to this prison. If we leave, we die.
No one bound to the keystone can even touch it."

But you know where it is?

"Let's make a deal. Ferals overran one of our camps. The survivors of that attack need patching up, but the medical supplies are still in the camp.
If you can recover those supplies, one of my people will tell you where the keystone is."

Agreed.

"Very well. Get the medical supplies to Jurni. She's holding the tower southwest of the camp against the ferals.
And remember: I'll hold you to our bargain. All of it."

I'll find the supplies.

On the north side of the prison, you'll find the supplies as well as some inhospitable inmates. Kill them and take your prize, then head to the tower just above the overrun camp. Jurni will be relieved to see you there and gratefully accepts the supplies.

"It's been quite some time since I saw a new face. Why are you here?"

General Raetus sent me. These supplies are for you.

"Aha! About time. If the general wants me to hold this tower, he needs to send me medical supplies more often.
I bet there's more to this than meets the eye."

Keep talking to her to start the next quest.

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game 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.
