== Walkthrough ==
[[Legate Rikke]] tells the Dragonborn that the Imperial Legion needs to deliver some forged orders to [[Frorkmar Banner-Torn]] in [[Dawnstar]]. In order to do this, the [[Stormcloak Documents]] need to be intercepted so they can be forged.

=== Find the Stormcloak courier ===
The Stormcloak courier should be either at the [[Nightgate Inn]] or [[Candlehearth Hall]].

=== Retrieve the Stormcloak courier's package ===
It can take a few attempts before the courier is located. Speaking to the innkeeper in either town will provide some clues as to his location at the time.

Note that e.g. the innkeeper [[Hadring]] will only divulge information with some [[Persuasion]], 834 {{gold}} or [[Intimidation]].

=== Bring the documents to Legate Rikke ===
To retrieve the package of [[Stormcloak Documents]], the courier can either be pickpocketed or killed and looted. If the Dragonborn opts to kill the courier, this should be done outside either of the towns and out of sight of anyone, otherwise a bounty will be incurred.

=== Bring the forged documents to Frorkmar Banner-Torn ===
The forged copies, the [[Forged Documents]], must then be brought to [[Frorkmar Banner-Torn]] in [[Dawnstar]]. Frorkmar generously gives a 5 {{gold}} tip.

Return to [[Legate Rikke]] for a more substantial reward.
