1 - You'll initially confront Kiser here, who will let loose a barrage of large words in proclaiming his innocence. If you've spoken to Countess Santele, you will have learned that Kiser is indeed responsible for kidnapping her son. Admitting to his guilt, Kiser will give you a false story that proclaims Errard (the mage at area #2 on our Saradush walkthrough) is the man responsible for the treason and that he kidnapped the Countess' son to keep himself out of jail in order to prove his innocence. Head to Errard back on the ledge in Saradush, either kill him or have him cast a divination spell to find the Countess' son, and return here to Kiser. If you killed Errard, Kiser will be pleased and give you the key to free the Countess' son. If you told Errard of Kiser's plans, Kiser will no longer be standing here and will be waiting for you down the stairs along the north wall.
