Quest Text
I have obtained a strange letter that appeared to never reach the intended recipient. I have taken it upon myself to track down the intended recipient and assist in any mystery that might ensue.
Completion
Having tracked down one of the two brothers mentioned in the letter, 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.
