Detailed Walkthrough
The shrine is located in Assurdirapal in the Sheogorad Region just west of Dagon Fel.

Talk to Malacath and he will tell you a story about an elven hero by the name of Oreyn Bearclaw. Actually, he is no hero at all but was falsely credited with the deeds done by his friend, an orc named Kharag Gro-Khar. Malacath wants you to destroy Bearclaw's legend by killing the last of his bloodline. If you do, you will receive the Helm of Oreyn Bearclaw as your reward.

Head toward Vivec as suggested by Malacath. You should be able to find out that the last of Bearclaw's line is Farvyn Oreyn and that you can find him near Gnaar Mok. Ask some townsfolk to find out where he is. You will find him in Dwemer armor and with two bodyguards. If you talk to him, he will freely admit that the legend of Oreyn Bearclaw is a falsehood. Tell him you have come from Malacath, and he will attack you. Once you have killed him, return to the shrine to pick up your reward.
