Deathbrand (Quest)

Walkthrough
This quest can be undertaken by finding a copy of Deathbrand at level 38 or higher, and reading it. Reading it before level 38 will not activate the quest. There is a copy in the Solstheim town of Raven Rock, in the Temple. Locations of the armor pieces are as follows: Once the final piece of armor is found, the key to Gyldenhul Barrow will be found in the last chest.
 * Deathbrand Helm - In an ancient chest in Haknir's Shoal.
 * Deathbrand Armor - In an ancient chest, north of the Earth Stone.
 * Deathbrand Boots - In a chest along the shore, west of Tel Mithryn. It is surrounded by a group of Ash Spawn.
 * Deathbrand Gauntlets - In a ditch before a river, south of the Bristleback Cave. It is surrounded by a group of Mud Crabs.

Gyldenhul Barrow
Upon entering Gyldenhul Barrow the corpse of an Adventurer can be found. A note on his corpse tells of his fate. Two sarcophagi containing Stalhrim can be found on either side of him, both of which can be mined. The sarcophagus on the left contains a Draugr corpse with some minor loot.

To proceed any further an Ancient Nordic Pickaxe is required to mine through the sarcophagus on the right to reveal a secret passage to a lower chamber. This area is a treasue trove, containing many piles of gold, assorted gems, potions and weapons. As soon an item is picked up, the gate behind will close. Continue through the door ahead to find a large chamber and the resting place of Haknir Death-Brand.

Haknir Death-Brand
His skeletal remains can be found in the lower chamber, however located just behind him is a unique Scimitar named Bloodscythe.

When Bloodscythe is taken, the ghost of Hankir Death-Brand will appear. During battle he will summon members of his crew to aid him. Upon his defeat another unique weapon named Soulrender can be looted from his ghostly remains.
