Imprisoned in a Forsaken Place
Caution
This quest does not commence if you’re thrown into this mine due to your Crime level in the Reach!
Objective: Ask a prisoner about Madanach
Target: Uraccen, in Cidhna Mine
You wake up to Urzoga gra-Shugurz shouting at you. He is the guard captain in charge of the prisoners in this mine, which is carved into the mountains of Markarth. Unlike prisons in other Hold Cities, you’re expected to work, mining silver ore until you drop. You can reply with subservient or sarcastic remarks to Urzoga, before she opens up the cell door and you’re allowed into the mine.
The quickest way to finding out more information about Madanach, who appears to run the prisoners on this side of the mine, is to speak with Uraccen. He’s usually sitting by the campfire in the prison’s middle chamber. You can make up whatever story you like about why you’re here, and ask him about the prison’s illicit Skooma trade, but be sure to ask him two important questions...
