Sounds of Alarm [Quest]

Text of the Quest:

A runner arrived from Fort Morvunskar, an installation to the west. Thane Mera believes Fildgor's forces have launched an attack against the fort.

Thane Mera Stormcloak: You upheld my honor and the honor of Windhelm. This Ebonheart Pact is worth more than I hoped. May all your enemies fall before you!
Hero: Something's troubling you.
Thane Mera Stormcloak: While you were aiding the King, a runner arrived from Fort Morvunskar. The fort is under attack! Fildgor and the Stormfist clan are certainly behind the attack. It can't be mere coincidence! Windhelm must be protected, but we can't abandon the fort.
Hero: Fildgor's launching multiple attacks?
Thane Mera Stormcloak: It makes sense strategically, but we weren't prepared for this. We weren't expecting to fight a war while the Pact leaders were in council. I need your help. Captain Hamar sent the runner. Report to him. Find out what's going on at the fort.
Hero: I'll find Captain Hamar.
Thane Mera Stormcloak: You upheld my honor and the honor of Windhelm. This Ebonheart Pact is worth more than I hoped. May all your enemies fall before you!
Hero: What do you do in Windhelm?
Thane Mera Stormcloak: I'm the Thane of Windhelm. My father was Captain of the Guard. I followed in his footsteps and climbed a bit higher. We Stormcloaks helped build Windhelm centuries ago. We're an old family and we're proud of our heritage.
Hero: But what does a thane do?
Thane Mera Stormcloak: What do I do? What don't I do! Rules and regulations. Meetings with King Jorunn and other thanes. Now I'm hosting Pact delegates. A lot of political nonsense! Mostly I delegate so that I can guard the city. People feel safer with the thane around.
Hero: There are Ebonheart Pact delegates in Windhelm?
Thane Mera Stormcloak: Yes. They've come for the celebration, but also to meet with King Jorunn about Pact business. I try not to get too involved. In fact, I'm not sure how Jorunn stands all the pomp and ceremony. It would drive me insane!

Captain Hamar: It's about time Windhelm sent someone. What took you so long?
Hero: Mera Stormcloak sent me.
Captain Hamar: Just you? I hope you're tougher than you look. Sorry. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but we're in trouble out here.
Hero: Complete Quest.
