A Brewing Conspiracy

Background
After a conversation with Seneschal Varel, he will assemble the lords and ladies of Amaranthine. One of the three characters who can be interacted with is Ser Tamra and during a conversation, she reveals that she discovered a conspiracy to kill the Warden through some intercepted missives.

Walkthrough
Start the quest by talking with Ser Tamra in Vigil's Keep throne room after the nobles swear their fealty to the Warden. She reveals that there is a conspiracy to kill the Warden and that she has intercepted some missives. At that pont, she explains that she needs time to collect the missives and leaves.

Return to Seneschal Varel and discuss Ser Tamra's revelations. Senseshal Varel informs the Warden that the right of high Justice is theirs and treachery is a capital offense. Varel presents the Warden with 3 options: find an infamous character called the Dark Wolf, have soldiers spy on the nobles, or let the conspirators set a trap for the Warden. The quest is updated based upon the Warden's decision. (If you did the side quests from Origins called Crime Wave, you will remember that Slim Couldry told you that the nobles were calling you the Dark Wolf).

If the option to let the conspirators set a trap for the Warden is chosen, Ser Tamra will eventually return to the Warden. (The Seneshal does not recommend this.)

Another option is having some soldiers spy on the nobility, but the Seneshal does not believe that the soldiers will be successful.

The third option, reveals rumors about is he will tell you about rumors about a figure called the Dark Wolf who will find information for a fee. If this option is selected, head to the city of Amaranthine.

Dark Wolf Option
After entering the city, a cut scene is triggered and a city guard explains to the Warden that she was paid to deliver a letter from a knight called Ser Wolf of Rivian. If the Warden asks about the knight, the city guard explains that he had on a helm and has no other information, but that he looked suspicious.

The suspicious guard can be found in front of the second gate in Amaranthine at the north end of the city. (During the conversation, the Warden can reveal that they are the Dark Wolf, if the Crime Wave quest was completed in Origins.) The Dark Wolf requires a payment of 50 sovereigns in order to reveal the loaction of the conspirators, but that it will take some time to find the information. At this point enter any building and then return to the supicious guard. He tells the Warden that it was not easy, but he knows where they meet. A new location appears on the world map named Old Stark's Farm. Travel there and kill the conspirators.
