In the event that you persuade Votus to make the ash statues illegal and increase Imperial patrols, one such patrol will appear across the river from Old Ebonheart.
Votus Titonian told me about a ghost that is currently haunting Stendarr Tower. I've agreed to try to exorcise it.

Votus Titonian suggested I talk to either Helice Rastin in Arkay's Tower or Memistrean Fellux in Akatosh's Tower. I could also go into Old Ebonheart to ask at the Mages Guild.
20
Helice Rastin recommended that I use Turn Undead on the ghost.
30
Memistrean Fellux suggested using magic or a silver or better quality weapon to banish the ghost.
40
Cellitara in the Old Ebonheart Mages Guild suggested I try to talk to the ghost after using a Calm Creature spell on it. Yuiale Phyroc may have a scroll to suit that purpose. Cellitara also suggested talking to Hastophos Velifer, who may know more about dealing with the undead.
50
Hastophos Velifer suggested soul trapping the spirit to remove it from Stendarr Tower.
60
The spirit claims to be Indoril Uryn, the former lord of Old Ebonheart. He committed suicide after the Armistice with the Empire was signed.
70
The ghost said that dark idols are spreading corruption throughout the city. I should see if I can find those who bear these idols and either kill them or find some other way to take the idols. Perhaps Votus Titonian will know more.
75
Votus Titonian recognized the dark idols as Dark Elf statues being sold down on the waterfront. When I told him the ghost told me to kill him, he attacked.
78
Votus Titonian recognized the dark idols as Dark Elf statues being sold by a Bosmer named Cirtiel near the docks. Votus gave me the statue that he bought.
80
Cirtiel agreed to stop selling the ash statues. She said she sold three other statues to Imperials at Ebon Tower: One to Votus Titonian, one to Quercus Duro at the resettlement office, and one to Caros Cocceius in the palace. Her supplier is the shipmaster of the Pride of Nerusia.
90
I threatened Caros Cocceius, but he didn't respond to my threat.
93
I collected the ash statue that Caros Cocceius bought.
95
Quercus Duro was not swayed by my threats.
98
Quercus Duro gave me his ash statue.
99
I spoke to the Pride of Nerusia's shipmaster, Haldroth, but he refused to stop supplying the statues.
100
Votus Titonian promised to look into what can be done about the shipping of the ash statues.
105
Votus Titonian agreed to request that the Dark Elf ash statues be declared an illegal trade good within Imperial jurisdiction and that Imperial patrols be increased in the Thirr delta.

Finishes quest
I gave the Indoril ghost the five statues that were spreading corruption, and the spirit is finally at peace. In return, it has given me its signet ring. I should go report my success to Votus Titonian.
120
Finishes quest
I succeeded in soul-trapping the ghost haunting Stendarr Tower. I should report my success at the guard post outside Stendarr Tower.
125
Finishes quest
For my efforts, Votus Titonian presented me with two potions of fire resistance.

Finishes quest
For my efforts, Votus Titonian presented me with a silver longsword, useful against normal specters.
