I heard rumors that Jarl Balgruuf's young son is consorting with Daedra. What do you intend to do about this? Balgruuf's middle-of-the-road stance clearly applies to allowing his son to make deals with dark forces. Do you punish the father or the child?

Thank you very much for reporting your concerns, Anonymous Citizen! Because of our limited resources and the vast wilderness of Skyrim, we rely on alert members of the community such as yourself to tell us about possible daedric activity in their area.

While our organization is strictly neutral on matters of politics, we hope that all good people of Skyrim recognize the threat that consorting with Daedra poses to our fair land.

The Vigil of Stendarr does not administer punishment, we merely eliminate the threat of daedric activity. Unfortunately, it often happens that by the time our Vigilants are made aware of a problem, the people involved are too invested in their vile activities to cease without the use of force. If they survive the application of Stendarr's Mercy, we leave their local government and justice system to the task of deciding punitive measures.

Expressed or implied threat of daedric summoning is the most reliable way to know if someone in your community is consorting with daedra.

Theft, loss, or diversion of seemingly inconsequential items, such as small amounts of alchemical ingredients that enhance conjuration like blue butterflies, lavender, and bone meal

Observation/surveillance: a prolonged or unusual interest in crypts, mausoleums, or graveyards beyond casual or professional interest.

Otherworldly Activity, such as strange lights, smells, or sounds that appear during particular summoning days or phases of the moons.

Acquisition of Expertise: gaining skills or knowledge on specific topics related to daedra, such as summoning, soul trapping, realms of Oblivion, and principles of contract negotiation.
