1 - If you sided with Errard and learned that Kiser is indeed responsible for the treachery in Saradush, then Kiser will be waiting for you here, along with a couple of friends. The battle is fairly easy, just overwhelm the thieves before they can get a backstab or two in. Once you've cleaned them up, grab the loot (making sure to nab the Secret Jail Key off of Kiser) and continue towards area #2. Additionally, you'll want to open the locked cabinet near the door and grab the Starfall Ore inside. It can be used to upgrade the Storm Star +3 later in the game. 2 - Here you'll run into a Yaga-Shura mage, so be on your toes. These mages are capable of Time Stop and other powerful high level spells. Take her out and head towards area #3. 3 - Ardic, the Countess' son, will be standing here. He'll thank you for his release (which will also give you a nice experience boost), after which you can head back to the Countess for another nice experience reward and some gold.
