Quick Walkthrough
# Talk to Thane Mera Stormcloak.
# Read ''Leimaer the Raven's Journal'' at the Cold Moon Inn.
# Find the four caches.
# Return to Thane Mera.

Detailed Walkthrough
Murilam Dalen, the Pact envoy in Windhelm, is standing on the docks near the entrance into the city. Windhelm's citizens are celebrating King Jorunn's tenth anniversary as the Skald King—a celebration known as the Konunleikar where Nord clans compete in various challenges in order to honor the king. He asks you to speak to Thane Mera Stormcloak, the captain of the Windhelm guard.

Thane Mera is standing in the center of the town, next to the Palace of Ysgramor. Enter the city through the open gate behind Murilam Dalen, then go right, then left. You should see a well and a gathering of people. Take the stairs on the right up to the third level of the city. Thane Mera is next to a large wooden door and red Pact banners.
An Enemy from the Past
The Thane is worried about the strange reappearance of the Stormfist clan; they haven't been seen in 10 years. Every since this year's games started, there have been many injuries and even a few deaths. Thane Mera Stormcloak asks you to ask around the Cold Moon Inn, where the clan is staying, to learn more information.  If you ask her more questions, you can learn that the Stormfists wanted Jorunn's brother, Fildgor, to be king.

Cold Moon Inn is southeast of Thane Mera. Go upstairs, and read ''Leimaer the Raven's Journal, which is on the ground next to the last bed on the right. One of the Stormfists has hidden caches around the city, so that the clan can cheat.
Confiscate the Caches
The caches look like glowing sacks.
:"Where mount and mare rest calm and easy"

This cache is hidden in the stables, across from the Cold Moon Inn. Inside is a note from "L" and a knife to cut through armor.

:"Between a moon that's cold and a wizard's hoard"''
In the street behind the Cold Moon Inn is another cache. This one has a noisemaker arrow to scare off the prey in a hunting competition, according to L's note.

The final two caches are on the west side of Windhelm.
:"Behind a cracked henge stone, west and breezy"

This cache is behind one of the long upright stones at the southern end of the city. It contains incense.

:''"At the rear of Windhelm's only abstaining Nord"''
This is the northern of the final two caches, hidden next to some rocks behind the other Inn. It contains poison.

Once you find all four hidden caches, return to Thane Mera Stormcloak outside the Palace of Ysgramor. She gives you some gold—now you need to find out what's really happening in Windhelm.

Detailed Walkthrough
While you were investigating the Stormfist clan, Thane Mera Stormcloak says Windhelm's champion was injured. She wants you to enter the Footrace of the Nine Holds as Windhelm's new champion. To do so, you need to speak to Lenning the Hawk, the race organizer, at the western wall. He is southwest of the Thane, next to the standing stones where you found a cache during the previous quest.

The Race of Nine Holds
Since you are the last racer to arrive, you need to light the starting flame, then run through nine towers symbolizing the nine holds. The first racer to exit the ninth tower is the winner.

Cheating at the Konunleikar
However, once you exit the sixth tower, you see one of the racers, Hadring the Swift (the race's leader up till that point), lying on the ground. You can help him, or you can keep running. If you help him, he tells you the assassin ran south. Incidentally, the person who passes him to take the lead is of the Stormfist clan.

Detailed Walkthrough
Thane Mera Stormcloak wants you to find the assassins responsible for Hadring the Swift's death during the Footrace of the Nine Holds. She names you Justice Carl of Windhelm, which grants you the authority to deal with them.

If you helped Hadring the Swift, you will know that the assassins fled to the south. If you did not help Hadring during the previous quest, you will have to question witnesses.

Detailed Walkthrough
Thane Mera Stormcloak is worried that King Jorunn is in danger. She wants you to go to the Hall of Trials and protect the king. The Hall of Trials is northeast of the Palace of Ysgramor.

When you enter the arena, you see Leimaer the Raven, a Stormfist, win a duel. She approaches the king, but before the king can congratulate her, one of the guards denounces Leimaer's trickery. She poisoned her opponents. However, she only laughs and declares that Fildgor is here to claim his birthright. She says Jorunn's reign is over and attacks. Other Stormfists in the arena help her as you, the guards, and the king fight back. Talk to the king once all the Stormfists have been defeated. He asks you to let Thane Mera know what happened.

Thane Mera Stormcloak is relieved to know her king is fine and considers you "the champion of the day." She gives you Thane Watch, a shield, and other rewards for saving the king's life.

Notes
There is a time limit in this quest between entering the Hall of Trials and getting to the arena, as implied in the conversation with Thane Mera Stormcloak. After entering the Hall of Trials, if you take too long to get to the arena (for example, if you spend a couple of minutes searching urns) you will hear a conversation between Leimaer the Raven and King Jorunn and you will have missed the objective, Observe the Champion, and will not be able to complete the quest. You must leave and re-enter and proceed directly to the arena.
