There are two a few details that you might usefully consider:
Many years ago when I

saved Daggerfall: Every time I entered the king's hall I saw this kid with red eyes staring at me, and there was a horrid roaring moan that reverberated though the hall. How is this relevant you ask? Read on.
One of the Quests I undertook was for the King's 2nd wife - she explained that a long time before she had begged a favour from the Underking - check your history

and that he had now demanded that he be given the fostering of her son from age 12/14yrs on in payment ... Barenziah (the Queen there at the time) offered me a Quest to take her response to the Underking in his hall - which was filled with ancient Vampires and Liches etc (and I aint about to tell you about how many undead and other 'things' I killed getting down the vast cavern that led to his hall) ... so I had undertaken to deliver her letter of agreement and succeeded - and when I returned I realised that the roaring noise had been coming from the little boy, from Helseth - her son! He was gone when I returned and so was the roaring.
Whatever Helseth appears to be on the outside - that is not what is inside!
Caldera: This was originally a Redoran Mine, but was taken over by Hlaalu with corrupt Imperial assistance - and the nearby town (although it looks Imperial) is Hlaalu too - no way the Redoran retook it before Oblivion with Helseth King. And During Oblivion word is that Ald'Rhun got Kvatched - know what I mean? So the Redoran position on Vvardenfell is precarious to say the least.
Ah - the Winged Guar

I remember the days - and nights. Sorted out a few of those losers too. Gambling??? Always makes a profit for the house. Therefore the Winged Guar's owner was raking it in. You might like to reconsider her reasons for needin' money to renovate - there might be a fun little side-tale you could insert there?
