Fort Sungard's commanding officer, Cristus Winter-Axe, was in the main building of the fort. He received word that someone had arrived wanting to join the Stormcloaks, so he headed to the courtyard to meet with them. He saw Fox walking into the fort and approached him. "Hello citizen, my men at the gates say you want to join the Stormcloaks."

Garbhan walked over to Ruaidri, who was chatting with the new recruits that had come from Markarth. The Reachmen turned to the chieftain, surprised to see the hole in his chest and the briar heart in its place. "So, you underwent the process?" he asked.

"Aye, I am a Briar Heart now. Now no one can call me old or weak, for I am one of the strongest Reachmen warriors, a Briar Heart. But I still need one thing to solidify my superiority to the other chiefs of the Reachmen tribes. I need the Red Eagle's sword." Garbhan said.

"The Red Eagle's sword? But it was stole by a Nord a during your uncle's last year alive." Ruaidri said, confused.

"Exactly, we are going to take it back. We know the Dragonborn has it, likely somewhere in Winstad." Garbhan said as he paced around and saw the new recruits. "Who are they?"

"Workers from Markarth, they arrived to join while you were with Lysagh." Ruaidri explained. He then asked. "But Chieftain, we can't take on the Dragonborn. If he does still have the sword in his city then it is beyond our reach."

"Tis true, it is. But not beyond the reach of a capable thief. That is all we are missing. There are thieves all over Skyrim, all we need to do is find a decent one and hire him to steal the sword from Winstad." Garbhan replied. "The guild may have been destroyed but the thieves are not gone. I think we are likely to find one in Markarth."

One of the former workers, who was overhearing the conversation said. "I know a fellow in the Warrens, he steals for a living. The guards have never caught him. You could hire him."

Garbhan turned to the former worker. "What is your name?"

"Solamh, chieftain." he answered.

"Solamh, I want you to head to Markarth with Ruaidri and to hire this thief. Have him steal the Red Eagle's sword from Winstad and bring it back here." Garbhan ordered. He then turned to the rest of the recruits. "The rest of you, there is a caravan passing by the western hills in a few hours. Go intercept it. Take everything, kill everyone. Go."

Solamh nodded and followed Ruaidri out of the camp. Eignach and the other former workers headed out as well. A veteran Forsworn member headed with the new recruits to watch over them as they completed the task.
