Detailed Walkthrough

A Boy's Last Words

While exploring Del's Claim, you can discover a bloody journal lying abandoned on the ground, next to a body.

"Mother, I don't know if you'll ever read this. I should never have left Mathiisen. The Veiled Heritance isn't the honorable cause I thought it was. Some of them are real patriots. But most are just brutes. I can't do this anymore."

<Read the second entry.>

"We're going to Del's Claim tonight. The old mine near South Beacon. They're going to kill the miners. I can't let them do that, can I? I have to stop them. Somehow. I love you, mother. Always know, I love you.
- Vareldur"

With Vareldur's Journal in hand, you can deliver it to his mother. Exit the delve and travel north to their hometown of Mathiisen.

Finding Vareldur's Mother

Once in Mathiisen, head to the market square in the southwest area of town. There are several likely candidates you can speak to in order to try and find Vareldur's mother. Zurka, a Khajiit, is not a local and has no information for you. Aonus, though, will be immediately helpful, and will point out Iriel, the boy's mother, directly. Iriel will respectfully rebuff your conversation:

"I'm sorry, but I don't really feel like talking. I've been trying to find a quiet minute all day. I need to pray for my son. He's missing, you see."

I'm sorry. Your son is dead. I found this journal near his body.

"He's what? No! Let me see that! I told him not to join those fools! Why didn't he listen? He figured out the truth for himself, in the end. I can be proud of my boy. That's not enough, but it'll have to do."

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.
