What's up with Gothryd in Daggerfall? It seems like we never : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

That letter from Woodbourne's journal seems to imply that Gothryd was in on his father's death. When you confront him about it, he tries to kill you. Was he in on his father's death for the power? I can't find any references about it really. Nothing mentions him as a traitor online.

That official Daggerfall guide had some convoluted crap talking about it:

...but I'm pretty sure it's just convoluted crap. The person who submitted it said that it was most likely false because it claims that one of the orcs killed Lysandus, even though Lysandus was begging for vengeance against Woodbourne.

Ya, the note under the title pretty much think the same as well as I did as well:

Prow's Note: The Narrative claims that it was Gortwog who killed Lysandus, while Lysandus' ghost and Gortwog both point out Woodborn as the real murderer.

Tedders comment: "It's been over ten years and my memory of DF's byzantine plotline is a little dusty and rusty, but this is definitely a mistake of the Chronicles. Didn't Lysandus himself say it was Woodborne who did it? I know there's a lot of gray area in TES, but if you can't trust a dead guy to tell you who killed him, who can you trust?"
