Good to know
- You have 64 time segments, about four in-game days, to speak to him before he is executed.
- Guides disagree on when that timer starts: at the mill or when the Stoneward Post objective appears.
- Rena at the mill tells you where he is being held.
- Heading straight for the post's tower saves time over talking to the miller first.
- He is the one who names the Manumits at the end of The Firebrand.
Who they are
Mert was arrested for helping the Manumits. He is Coen's first real contact with the rebels.
Where you meet them
Stoneward Post sits southwest of Mert's Mill. Talking to him in the dungeon starts Under Watchful Eyes, where you get the cell key, free him and walk him out the main gate.
