Detailed Walkthrough

A Suicide in Haafingar

Upon installing the Alternative Armors - Steel Soldier Creation, you will be directed to read a note located in the Four Shields Tavern in Dragon Bridge. Reading it, you will learn of an apparent suicide which took place at the town's eponymous Dragon Bridge. A new recruit guardsman had gone missing but a fellow guard named Aldepius claims to have seen him leap from the bridge.

You will find the guard's body quite a ways downstream to the northeast of the bridge (though on the south bank of the river). It is just before the river meets another on their way to the bay at Solitude; about half-way between Dragon Bridge and the Solitude Sawmill. On the guard's body, you will find a note that shows the dead guard suspected Aldepius of being a bandit informant rather than a stationed member of the Dragon Bridge garrison. You will need to return to town to confront Aldepius.

Duel at the Dragon Bridge

Face Peladius on the bridge

Upon re-entering the Four Shields Tavern, you will find that Aldepius is nowhere to be found. Instead, he has left a confession at one of the tables, inviting you to face him in honorable combat at the Dragon Bridge. In it he admits that his real name is Peladius and that he is a former member of the Crimson Dirks bandit gang.

Peladius will be waiting for you on the bridge and will attack on sight, so be prepared to fight to the death. Grant him the honorable death he wishes for, and loot his body for a full set of enchanted steel soldier armor. This will complete the quest and will grant you the ability to craft this new armor for yourself.

Notes

• If the Imperial Legion still holds Solitude, the guards involved in this quest will be wearing Solitude colors. If the Stormcloaks have taken the city, the guards will be wearing Stormcloak armor instead.

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 ccBGSSSE058_Quest, ccBGSSSE058_MiscQuest 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 ccBGSSSE058_Quest, ccBGSSSE058_MiscQuest.
