How to Start the Imperial Corruption Quest
To begin the Imperial Corruption quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, speak with Luronk gro-Glurzog, wandering around the Imperial City’s Temple District, about the corrupt Imperial Watchman.
Imperial Corruption Walkthrough
Speak with Jensine
Travel to the Imperial City Market District and speak with Jensine in Jensine’s Good as New Merchandise shop about the Corrupt Imperial Watchman. You’ll need to raise her opinion of you to at least 70 through persuasion to get her to talk.
Find a Watch Captain
To bring this lowlife to justice, we’ll need to find another Watch Captain willing to bring him in. Exit the shop and speak with any Imperial Watch about the “Corrupt Imperial Watchman”. You’ll then be able to ask him where you can find a Watch Captain. He’ll tell you of Hieronymous Lex. Make this quest active to hunt down Hieronymus Lex.
Once you find him, speak with him about the “Corrupt Imperial Watchman”. He’ll say that he doesn’t have time for this and direct you to Itius Hayn.
Again, hunt down Itius. When you find him, speak with him about the Corrupt Imperial Watchman. You’ll need to raise his opinion of you to at least 70 by persuading him to listen. He’ll then be willing to arrest Audens if you can produce two witnesses.
Speak with the Witnesses
The only victims you know are Ruslan, Luronk gro-Grurzog, and Jensine. Head to the Market District and speak with Jensine in her shop using the Testify against Audens Avidius option. She’ll absolutely refuse!
Next, speak with Ruslan, who is wandering around the Temple District, about testifying. You’ll need to get his disposition up to around 75 by persuading him. You’ll then acquire your first witness who is willing to testify!
Afterwards, track down Luronk in the Temple District. He should be in his house in the northeastern corner of the area. You’ll need to get his disposition up to 75 by persuading him. He’ll then agree, thus giving you your second witness.
Arrest Audens Avidius
With two witnesses ready to testify, you’ll need to wait for some time to pass (at least 24 hours). The quest will automatically update to indicate that Audens Avidius has been arrested. The quest will then be completed.
This quest got a little buggy for us here. We ended up finishing it by waiting outside Luronk’s house in the Temple District until the morning. Ruslan then approached us about Luronk’s disappearance. After the conversation, the quest was completed, and Luronk was safely in his house.
