Main quest
Two factions must be joined in order to progress the main quest, the Blades and the College of
Winterhold. "Paarthurnax" is completely optional and can be completed after the main quest. "Season
Unending" operates under special conditions; completing it halts the Civil War questline, while
completing the Civil War questline causes this quest not to appear, since it is no longer necessary.

Talk to Falk Firebeard in the Blue Palace and he will give the quest "The Man Who Cried Wolf,"
investigating the lights and sounds coming out of Wolfskull Cave, which is located in the mountains
west of Solitude. After completing the quest, talk to Falk again for a reward. Then speak directly to the
Jarl herself and she will thank them and assign one more task. She will ask that Torygg's war horn be
placed on a Shrine of Talos, as a tribute to her late husband. Take the war horn to the specified Shrine
and place it at the foot of the statue of Talos, then return to Elisif. She will invite the Dragonborn to
become a Thane, but only after meeting the requirements : “Purchase Proudspire Manor for 25,000”
and “Assist five citizens of Haafingar”
There are several easy ways to assist the people of Haafingar:
Once this has been done, return to Jarl Elisif and become a Thane of Haafingar and be given the Blade
of Haafingar. Some time after Wolfskull Cave has been cleaned out and the Dragonborn has leveled up
at least once, a courier arrives with a letter from Falk requesting a meeting. This initiates the quest to
hunt down Potema's spirit, "The Wolf Queen Awakened". It is not required to become a Thane, but
completing it counts toward the total of helping citizens in Solitude.
