Walkthrough[]
Upon completing "Veil of Illusion," Treethane Fariel will ask you to head down and inspect Asteril's quarters with Oromin. Speak with Oromin and he will tell you he does not believe Asteril is guilty; he will head to the Thalmor Residence to ask her about it. Follow him there to accompany him.
The Residence is just to the southeast of the building you are in. Head in and you will find Asteril dead. Examining the body will reveal she has been dead for some time; she cannot have been the one in the sewers. Speak with Oromin and you will notice he cares more about the integrity of the Thalmor than about the fact that one of his soldiers has died. He will speculate that the person who killed Asteril is the same as the person who impersonated her to try and kill the Queen.
While you were speaking with Oromin, Razum-dar has found a secret passage behind a bookshelf. This passage will lead to the Imperial Underground; in the first room, you will find a letter. The letter will reveal that the person posing as Asteril was in fact her sister Laryaril; Raz suspects they are twins. Head through the tunnels to the old Imperial prison, then start looking for Laryaril. She is in a cell behind Veilmistress Aressea; kill the Veilmistress, then speak with Laryaril.
Laryaril will tell you that she was backstabbed by the Heritance after her failure to kill the Queen. She will spill the beans on Vicereeve Pelidil's plans; he has signed a treaty with the Maormer and is attacking at Seaside Sanctuary. He also intends to raise an army of undead, and resurrect Prince Naemon from the dead, all to destroy the Aldmeri Dominion and establish rule over the Summerset Isles.
With this information, return to Treethane Fariel to finish the quest and start the next one, "Before the Storm."
