Weird Judges glitch.

[Mindpatch]

In MM7, I was starting the quests of the elve-human war and I chose to go with Avlee, as I finished fort Riverstride I also collected the trumpet afterwards. After that I went to Harmondale to find the messengers for the judges awaiting me, instead I went to my castle and I talked to the same old messengers from Avlee and Erathia. I looked into my quest log and I found all my other quests and an added 0 mark. Just a 0 in the middle of the page.
So I went to Erathia to see what the **** was going on here. I visited the queen and even after the problems with the trumpet and fort Riverstride she gave me the mission to go resque Loren Steel... again!... I don't know what I did wrong here. I did the exact same thing as allways except for that I visited the Judge earlier on. Any help?

The "0" quest just appears in the book sometimes, it does nothing.

Did the previous judge die already? You can't see the messengers in your castle until that happens. When he's found dead, a messenger contacts you in Harmondale, so you should know.

I know the judge has to die first.. the problem is that I have to resque Loren again. strange eh.

Very Strange. If I'm not mistaken, you can't get the Trumpet quest until the time limit for the Fort Riverstride/Loren Steele quests expires. Out of curiosity, who did you give the trumpet to?
