Suspicions

Meya Violet is another prisoner held in the cell block to the northeast of the passage back to Ghast's Pass. She mentions that she has overheard the guards talking about prominent Hammerfell families taking bribes and colluding with Skyrim in the ongoing war. There is a list of families, and she needs you to find it:

"They brought me here to pressure my family into helping Skyrim take Dragonstar.
I haven't seen any other prominent families here. I listened to idle chatter from the guards...
Who mentioned that some are taking bribes and colluding with Skyrim. There is a list..."

... and you need it.

"Yes. With it, I could return to Dragonstar and unmask the traitors, perhaps turn the tide."

I will find the evidence.

Listing Badly

The list lies inside a desk in a room east of the central chamber and north of the cell block. It's a very long list:

Parchment after parchment is filled with records of bribes and payouts. It seems Jagar Tharn's purse is buying him a lot of influence in the region.

Depressing Reading

When Meya sees the list she is disheartened at the number of people prepared to work with the enemy. She says that she is considering moving to High Rock or Morrowind instead, but is grateful enough to give you 2,400XP:

(Meya looks sadly over the long records)

"So many willing to work with the enemy. Perhaps Dragonstar is destined to slip from the grasp of Hammerfell. I suppose we could go to High Rock or Morrowind... or somewhere and start over."

You seem resourceful.

(Meya smiles)

"That we are. So are you. Best of luck to you."
