Quest Text
Having tracked down one of the two brothers mentioned in a letter discovered by a local collector, I spoke with them and it led me to believe there was a deeper issue than being let on. I have gotten a lead on the second brother, Irko and plan to go attempt to speak with them and find out more. I was given a crypt key by one of the elders so that I can enter and speak with him to find out more of the story.
Completion
Having tracked down both brothers mentioned in the letter, I discovered there were much more malevolent forces behind the entire situation. It ended with both brothers being knocked unconscious by a powerful entity. Their powers, along with their spirit, being stolen and hidden in a deep labyrinth. I was able to find and contain the separated spirits and return them to the brothers. It is unknown the effects of this and how it will play out in the end. There is much more that warrants investigation.
