The Scarlet Judge ( Quest ) The Scarlet Judge is a quest available in . The Vestige meets a mysterious stranger near the gate of Suran , who claims to be investigating corruption within Suran ' s justice system . Walkthrough . When first entering Suran , the Vestige will be able to meet a mysterious stranger standing near the gates of Suran . Initially , he will act reticent towards them , but he will eventually give the reason of his presence in Suran : The Vestige will then need to speak to one of Marshal Hlaren ' s prisoners , who can be found in a nearby plantation . This plantation will be guarded by several Iron Hound mercenaries and Overseer Torvayn . The Iron Hound mercenaries will be hostile , but will not be difficult to avoid . The prisoner , Ghamosh , can be found chopping wood in the southern area of the search area . Initially , he will think the Vestige is a slaver , begging them to " " Stay their lash . " " After asking Ghamosh what is going on , he will refuse to speak to the Vestige unless they kill Overseer Torvayn , because he has surely seen them speak and will undoubtedly kill Ghamosh . Torvayn can be found standing on a wooden platform overlooking the plantation . He will immediately turn hostile on sight . After defeating Torvayn , the Vestige must return to Ghamosh and speak to him : After getting Ghamosh ' s testimony , the Vestige will have to speak to two more of Marshal Hlaren ' s prisoners ; Friga Bearfist and Biene Diel . Friga can be found shoveling near the wooden fence guarding the ridge of the plantation . She will thank the Vestige for killing Overseer Torvayn , saying she " " Won ' t miss that horse ' s arse . " " After asking Friga if she was falsely imprisoned , she will explain that it is a matter of perspective ; she punched a Dunmer , breaking his jaw in three places . That Dunmer turned out to be plantation master Arano , who had requested Friga would " service " his guards . Marshal Hlaren had told her she could shorten her prison sentence by doing hard labor on one of the plantations ; a lie . After getting Friga ' s testimony , the Vestige will have to find Biene , who can be found raking leaves near a large tree . She will be surprised upon hearing of Torvayn ' s death . Furthermore , Biene will explain that she does not belong on the plantation , and was falsely accused of murdering a beggar the first day she arrived in Suran . Because the Suran Prison is still under construction , she had to serve her prison sentence by working on the plantations . She will then point the Vestige towards Master Kharek ' s Residence , which Marshal Hlaren visits once a week . When inside , the Vestige will find a " Letter to Kharekh gra - Bagrat " . Consigned by Marshal Hlaren , it shows Hlaren has been arresting travelers on false accusations , so that they can become laborers for Master Kharekh gra - Bagrat . Hlaren tells her that they cannot just arrest anyone , as arresting someone with a powerful family behind them , or someone who is able to fight the charges , could uncover their arrangement quickly . She will explain a number of refugees from Cyrodiil will pass through Suran the next day , and that she is sure she will be able to arrest several of them . After picking up the note , the Vestige must go to Mistress Dren ' s Residence , which will be guarded by several Iron Hound mercenaries . They will turn hostile on sight , but will not be difficult to avoid . Once inside , a " Letter to Marshal Hlaren " will reveal that Dren is unsatisfied with the quality of her laborers . She will ask Hlaren to bring her " " a few of those strong Nords you sent over to Kharekh . " " Both Dren and Kharekh have agreed to Marshal Hlaren ' s " work for compensation " plan , so she finds it unfair that her laborers are of a lesser quality than those of Kharekh gra - Bagrat . She will direct the Marshal to a group of Nords who will be traveling through Suran the next day , urging her to arrest them . After having found both pieces of evidence , the Vestige must meet the Scarlet Judge at Ulen Manor , where they will discuss their next move . Once inside , the Judge can be found standing in front of a bookcase . When spoken to , he will say the following : The Vestige must now travel to the Daedric ruins north of Suran to raid the Iron Hounds camp located there . Once there , they must burn three weapon caches ( weapon racks ) and four supply crates , which will be scattered throughout the ruins . The ruins are filled with Iron Hound mercenaries , which can prove to be quite a challenge , notably Captain Cedus , a mercenary captain . After finding and destroying all weapon caches and supply crates , the Vestige must return to Suran , where they will be met by the aforementioned Constable Gretga . She will urge them to follow her , as they cannot speak openly out on the streets . After following her up a pair of stairs leading to a remote building , she will tell the Vestige the following : The Vestige now has three options ; Speak with Dredyni in Desele ' s House of Earthly Delights , who will point the Vestige towards Constable Mirel , a constable who recently went missing and is rumored to have " " ran afoul with some skooma dealers . " " He had a key to the prison . After locating Mirel , however , it will be apparent that he is dead , his corpse lying on a remote beach near Suran . The key will be in a pile of recently disturbed dirt . The second option is to intimidate Remas Belan into making a copy of the Suran Prison key , note that he will only agree to do so after being asked if he " " Would like to keep his knees intact . " " The third option is to bribe Constable Kren , who can be found at the bar of Desele ' s House of Earthly Delights . He will be easily persuaded and will give the Vestige the key to the prison for a leveled amount of . After gaining possession of the key , the Vestige must enter the Suran Prison . Note that entering the Suran Prison counts as trespassing , and will cause the Vestige to receive a bounty . After avoiding or fighting the hired guards within the Suran Prison , the Vestige will eventually meet a man named Melar Sadus . Visibly in pain , he will be sitting on a wooden chair surrounded by torture tools . When spoken to , he will tell the Vestige the following : The Vestige will now have to travel to the fortress ruin of Marandus , where Warden Libo has set up camp . Marandus lies directly north - west of the Suran Wayshrine . Once there , the Vestige has to pass through the ruins , and walk towards the lake , where they will find Warden Libo and an Iron Hound mercenary . Both Libo and the mercenary will turn hostile on sight . After defeating Libo , the Vestige must take the key to his trophy chest from his body and open the chest near the large tree . After gaining possession of the Judge ' s regalia , the Vestige must put it on and return to Constable Gretga , who will be waiting for them in Suran . When spoken to , she will tell the Vestige the following : The Vestige must travel to Inanius Egg Mine and enter it through its back entrance . Inside are several Iron Hound mercenaries , as well as many kwama workers and kwama warriors . The first piece of evidence , the " Letter to Kharekh gra - Bagrat " , can be found in a broken crate , guarded by an Iron Hound mercenary . The second letter , the " Letter to Marshal Hlaren " , is located in a wooden crate on a platform overlooking the mine . The third and final piece of evidence , the " Slave Testimony " , can be found in a wooden crate also . The Vestige must take all pieces of evidence , so that they can be used against the Marshal later . After finding all three pieces of evidence , the Vestige must confront Marshal Hlaren near the front entrance of the mine . Initially , all three plantation owners can be seen speaking to her , but they will immediately flee once the Vestige approaches . After successfully defeating Hlaren , the Vestige must exit the mine through the front entrance , where they will be met by Constable Gretga : Now that the three corrupt plantation owners have been arrested , the Vestige must return to Suran and find Melar . He can be found sitting on a wooden bench near the Suran Stables . When spoken to , he will tell the Vestige the following : Afterwards , the quest will be completed , and the Vestige may receive their reward .
