Where can I find all of the dead Jarls' swords?
  • 1 of 7: On the battlefield.
  • 2 of 7: Walk amongst all the dead warriors that are toward the north end of the area.
  • 3 of 7: The swords you want are all stuck in the ground and have black hilts.
  • 4 of 7: Use them to pick them up.
  • 5 of 7: Remember that there are only five, since Markel didn't make it to the battle.
  • 6 of 7: Look for the swords right next to the dead bodies of their owners (except for Sven's, which is at the west end of the dead body area).
  • 7 of 7: Once you have all five, report to Skraelos to complete your penance tasks.
