Detailed Walkthrough

Near a cliff in northeastern Murkmire, you'll come across the corpse of a Nord thief. There's a grave-stake next to a note that states that the relic is stolen. Take the grave-stake, and find the grave-singer mentioned in the note. The note claims she's somewhere around Bright-Throat Village. Travel there. Grave-Singer Xaleez is in front of Vetra-Jat's House, clearly injured. Speak with her.

She thanks you for finding the stake, and declares that it belongs to her late brother. She was going to plant the stake in a spot that was meaningful to her brother when it was stolen from her, and she was injured while chasing the thief down. She asks that you plant the grave stake in the glade she was thinking of in her place.

The glade is located north of Bright-Throat village, and southeast of the tunnel that leads to the Deepmire. Plant the stake in the ground, and a tree begins to sprout. Return to Grave-Singer Xaleez, who thanks you for honoring her brother and planting his grave-stake.

Notes

• The quest item icon for Vanthongar's Letter depicts it as entire book rather than a sheet of paper.
• Grave-Singer Xaleez won't exist in Bright-Throat Village before starting the quest or reaching the related objective.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
