Goodwin's Research

I have arranged to meet Harold at the tavern under the cover of darkness. He was terrified when I approached him in the open. Eyes darting left and right, as if he thought the very walls were watching us.

Harold did not come. I waited for more than an hour. And when I went to his home near the Minster, the place was torn apart, his belongings gone.

Four others came forward with information on the Gallows' identity. And all four have met a horrible end. Two were hanged in the square on petty charges. One was found dead, allegedly after a drunken brawl. Another has fled.

The two who were hanged. The Gallows must be another reeve, I am sure of it. Only we have the power to judge the people of Wincestre.

He (the Gallows) is a public figure. He outwardly opposes Aelfred's reforms. I do not dare write my suspicions here.

(The research continues for many more pages).

9. Speak with Goodwin

Leave the fort, find and speak with Goodwin. You will go over his research to find out more about the members of the Order in Wincestre. After conversation, this quest will be completed.

Speak with Goodwin

After completing The Reeve of Wincestre you will get or will be able to get Choking the Gallows.
