I should read it and see if I can be of help. I received a notice from the Jarl's steward regarding a missing person. Quest Stages Missing Merchant (ccBGSSSE051_Quest) The quest will complete once you have obtained the set of armor, and you will subsequently begin to find Daedric mail items as random loot throughout the world. The ring has a base value of 5,211, so this is a fair trade if you don't wish to keep it. You then have the choice of either trading the ring to him for a set of Daedric mail armor, or paying 5,000 gold for the armor. You will be prompted to track down Ma'dran, whose trade caravan travels between Windhelm and Solitude. This ring is the Ring of Masser, which you will find on Gunther's naked corpse within the cabin. She mentions in passing that she sold a suit of Daedric mail to a Khajiit caravaner named Ma'dran, but that he should be willing to trade the armor for a ring she currently possesses. Erwan, it seems, is quite disturbed, and currently considers the corpse of Gunther to be her "best friend". Upon killing Erwan, you will be prompted to loot her body and read her journal. Traitor's Post, a destroyed cabin, is currently home to a gang of bandits led by a Breton female named Erwan. You will be tasked to go there and investigate.

You will learn that the jarl has put out a call for aid regarding the disappearance of a merchant, Gunther Frost-Foot, who was last seen in the area of Traitor's Post east of Windhelm. Upon obtaining this note, the quest will begin. Alternatively, if you don't speak with the innkeeper, you may be given this note by a courier. Ask the innkeeper for work and you will be handed a note titled Missing Merchant. You will be directed to speak to the innkeeper of Candlehearth Hall ( Elda Early-Dawn, or Nils if she's dead).
