I've been informed the "red headed wood elf" stopped at an inn somewhere between Anvil and Imperial City; but, while I've found him in every game before with no problem, he is now Missing In Action.
In a three year old thread on another forum, Emma said he is in one of the two inns between Anvil and IC (the argument could be made there are four inns along the way since the road goes right by Skingrad); I spent three days (game time) fast traveling between those two points with no sign of him, sometimes I had Vilja with me, sometimes I was alone. I have returned to Anvil and interrogated everyone again, both with and without Vilja; I have traveled the road from Anvil to IC thinking I might encounter him along the way. In the meantime Vilja has asked for, and been given, the five wolf pelts; so I doubt her quest line is stuck.
We have now continued with other quests, and every couple of minutes Vilja reminds me we need to find the red headed wood elf and get the ring ... I'm ready to tell her to shut up and go find him herself. (Making this the active quest does not put a marker on the compass).

Well, I have done that quest many times and have always found that elf in the Gottshaw Inn. Sometimes he is right there in plain sight and other times he is in one of the rooms and you have to ask the Innkeeper about him.

Aha! There are three (or five) inns between Anvil and IC (Brina Cross, Gottshaw, and Wawnet; plus the two in Skingrad, if you count them), for some odd reason Gottshaw is not showing on my map. Vilja and I waited there several hours for the red head to appear (he wasn't in any of the rooms ...I picked all the locks to check); we stood around outside, periodically going back inside, and eventually he was there.
Thanks.
