As you approach him, he'll say:

Gauldur Berard : "It's not time yet. It should be quiet. It should be sleeping. Damned groundquakes … must have been. Must have been!"

Speak to him and he'll tell you:

"What are you—? No! I can't leave. Not yet!
I tried to follow the foreman. I did! But it won't let me. Not until everything is as it should be. Not until everything is perfect!"

Slow down. The song is doing this to you?

"Yes! Yes, the song. You've heard it. I can tell.
It should be quiet. It isn't ready. It isn't perfect. But someone interfered. The ground shook and … the meddling! They broke it! They ruined it!"

So a person is responsible for this?

"Yes! But not one of us. No, it's a tinkerer. A meddler! Poking around and breaking things. Soiling them!
He has to be punished. Yes! The song has to be pure. Has to be perfect! If not, the consequences … oh, the consequences!"

Try to stay calm. I'll find this meddler.

After the quest is complete, you'll find him sitting by the fire in The Resting Kwama. Speak to him and he'll say either:

"This place is never quiet. That's good, I can't stand the quiet. I might hear it again."

"Did you hear that? No? Must be the wind."

What sound?

"That device in the mine was silenced, but I can still feel its song."

We stopped the song. You're safe.

"That's what they tell me. Simply a case of frayed nerves and ringing ears. The healers say it will pass.
I swear, though. Sometimes I can still hear a tune."
