The Lucky Skeever

Prior to his execution, Roggvir was a guard assigned to watch over Solitude's main gate, and thus held considerable responsibility to ensure that the city is secured against all possible intrusions and to trap escaping troublemakers seeking to flee.

However, Roggvir was a Nord, and thus held a fierce sense of pride for his people. Furthermore, he saw Ulfric Stormcloak as a better ruler of Skyrim than the High King Torygg, and his convictions were further hardened when the Aldmeri Dominion, having defeated the Empire and forced it to sign the White-Gold Concordat in exchange for an uneasy peace, sought to suppress any form of Talos worship. To Roggvir, he saw it as a complete travesity, a convenient excuse by the Aldmeri to destroy any dissent against its domination of all Tamriel.

In addition to his outward duties as a gate guard, and as a reward for his secret loyalty to the Jarl, Roggvir was given The Lucky Skeever, secretly owned by the Jarl of Windhelm as one of his several assets across the province, and used it as his residence when secretly staying in the city and lying low.

Now as you enter the city for the first time, you quickly become witness to Roggvir's execution, all eyes on him as the axe is raised over his head... Not knowing later that you would realize that even dead men can speak, and to obtain the key means that you must conduct an investigation around the seized property.
