Walkthrough[edit]

Talk to Orthus Endario at the East Empire Company in Windhelm[edit]

This is a miscellaneous objective that will begin the quest itself. You can learn about this by talking with the Guards outiside the East Empire Company.

Head to the Windhelm Docks and go into the East Empire Company. You will find Orthus Endario inside the empty company building. Talk with him about the company and he will explain that they have been suffering from pirate attacks. He suspects the Shatter-Shields but has no proof yet. He wants the Dragon Born to break into their office and steal the logbook from Suvaris Atheron.

Steal Suvaris Atheron's Logbook[edit]

Breaking into the Office[edit]

The Shatter-Shield Office is closed between 8 pm and 8 am. Wait until after 8 pm and head to the office. The Office has a locked door (Master).

Just get inside and make your way to the logbook itself. This is found the Northwestern corner of the room

During Business Hours[edit]

You can easily get inside during the normal business hours of the office. You will just need to wait for Suvaris Atheron to head to the front of the office.

Rise in the East

After Atheron has gone to the front of the office, slip into the back. you will find the Logbook in the back left portion of the ofice.

Give the logbook to Orthus[edit]

With the logbook in hand, head back to the East Empire Company. Go inside and talk with Orthus Endario again. He will notice the group is headed to Dawnstar. He will direct you to a contact that he has.

Talk to Stig Salt-Plank[edit]

Make your way to Dawnstar. Go inside the Windpeak Inn and talk with your contact, Stig Salt-Plank

Inside, you will find Stig Salt-Plank talking with the bard, Karita. Talk with Stig and ask him about the Blood Horkers. He will tell that he has been captaining with them for 9 years. Play at being interested in the pirating life to learn more about them. Eventually Stig will get leery. You can either bribe him or brawl with him to finish this and learn where you need to go.

After the fight, he will tell you more about Haldyn but also where to find the Blood Horkers. They are based out of Japhet's Folly. He will leave Skyrim after this so the Horkers have less of an idea who let slip their location.

Report back to Orthus[edit]

Inside the East Empire Company, Orthus is talking with Adelaisa Vendicci who is talking to him about the big shipment that is coming through soon.

Depart for Japhet's Folly[edit]

Head on outside the Company and go straight forward. There is a boat just ahead of you on the left that you can jump into. Talk with the East Empire Mercenary to trigger your transport over to Japhet's Folly.

Talk to Adelaisa[edit]

You will be transported onto a ship. Go and talk with Adelaisa Vendicci who is also on the ship with you. Head to toward the bow to do so.

Kill Haldyn[edit]

Jump off the ship onto the ice that is leading toward the island on the Southern side of the ship. Run along the ice and into the cave that it leads to.

Inside the cave, be on guard for the Mudcrabs waiting for you. Then follow the Western slope upwards to the next chamber.

You will find more Mudcrabs in this part of the cave as well. Be careful, making a lot of noise in this room can draw in Blood Horkers from the next room. Go through the hole in the wall to move forward. Kill off the pirate inside and then turn to the West.

Go up the stairs there and through the door. This will take you into the next section of the area.

Go on up the stairs through the door. Be careful on the first landing, there is a pressure plate that will trigger the spike wall on the left-hand side. Keep to the right to avoid the trap itself. Just be aware there is a Blood Horker that is patrolling the area. There is another Pirate waiting at the top of the stairs.

This leads to a large round chamber with a door to the Southeast. You can find some sacks and other containers in this chamber. Otherwise, just head for the door to continue forward.

Follow the corridor to the Southeast. Continue forward to the next chamber. Your target is getting close. Head though this chamber on the Northern side. Follow the stairs upward to reach the next chamber.

Go through this final chamber. In the antechamber behind it, you will find your target if you have not made too much noise.

It is time for you to deal with Haldyn. He can be found in a few places around this area. He is usually at the Arcane Enchanter. If you are very quiet, you can get a backstab in on him for massive damage. Otherwise, strafe him as much as possible to avoid being killed by his magic. Once below half health, he will start healing himself.

Kill him and then you are free to explore the tower for any remaining treasures.

Report back to Adelaisa[edit]

Head back outside. You will arrive in time to see a wooden Palisades in front of you get blown up. There are more Blood Horkers in this area that you will need to fight through. Make your way to the East and down the slope.

You will need to weave your way down the slope. The explosions will not hurt the Dragonborn, but try to be a little mindful of them. This will eventually get you down to the shore here.
