Quest Objectives

I've decided to help the Sons of Skyrim drive the Empire out of Skyrim. My first mission is to help Galmar Stone-Fist retrieve the Jagged Crown from the ruins of Korvanjund.

— Dragonborn

Walkthrough[ | ]

Having decided to help the Stormcloaks in the Civil War, the ugliness of war rears its head. It has come to Galmar Stone-Fist's attention where the fabled Jagged Crown can be found. This crown was worn by the High Kings of old, and thus it would be a powerful symbol for Ulfric Stormcloak's ambitions towards that office. Galmar makes it a priority to retrieve the crown, though he does expect resistance by the Empire, since their spies are aware of the situation.

Talk to Galmar[ | ]

Return to Palace of the Kings and talk to Galmar Stone-Fist, he mentions that the first mission will be to take on the Empire at Korvanjund and retrieve the Jagged Crown.

Meet Galmar outside Korvanjund[ | ]

At Korvanjund, Galmar will rally the troops for the upcoming confrontation.

Note: Ralof will join the guards here.

Retrieve the Jagged Crown[ | ]

Enter Korvanjund and take on the Imperials until finally reaching the Korvanjund Crypt where the Jagged Crown can be found on the skeletal head of a draugr deathlord.

Deliver the crown to Ulfric Stormcloak[ | ]

Return to the Palace of the Kings and hand over the crown to Ulfric Stormcloak.

Get new orders[ | ]

Ulfric has a message to be delivered to the Jarl in Whiterun in the next quest: Message to Whiterun.

Last chance to join the Imperials[ | ]

Instead of delivering the Jagged Crown to Ulfric, the Dragonborn can choose to bring it to General Tullius, the leader of the Imperials, instead. And decide to join the Empire in the war effort: Message to Whiterun.

Dialogues[ | ]

Talk to Galmar[ | ]

Dragonborn
What's the mission?
Galmar
I've found the resting place of the Jagged Crown. Can you believe it? Will, I'm almost certain.
We're headed to Korvanjund. But, if old King Borgas is indeed buried there, we're bound to run into trouble of some kind.
Your fellow Stormcloaks are already assembling outside the tomb. I'll meet you there as soon as I'm finished up here.

Meet Galmar outside Korvanjund[ | ]

Galmar
What's the Legion doing here? Damn Imperial spies... Well, should be fun for us, at least. They don't seem to know we're here yet.
Ready to spill some Imperial blood for Skyrim?
Dragonborn
I'm ready. Let's go get them.
Galmar
That's what I like to hear.

Deliver the crown to Ulfric Stormcloak[ | ]

Dragonborn
Here's the Jagged Crown. I believe you owe Galmar a drink?
Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak
Damn him - the old bear was right! Did you run into any trouble?
Dragonborn
The Imperials were there ahead of us.
Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak
Damn it. What were they doing there? Imperial spies are everywhere. Never forget that... I trust you gave them a thrashing? Now then...

Get new orders[ | ]

Jarl Ulfric Stormcloak
I'm glad you're here. I have a message I need delivered to the Jarl of Whiterun.

Glitch with the Jagged Crown[ | ]

  • If you wear the Jagged Crown and the mask "Nohkriin" from the main quest, the crown will be visible but your head will disappear, until you take one off.
