Sleep for the Dead 2

The crypts below the fort.

The Vestige must make their way to the entrance of the crypts below Fort Morvunskar, where Queen Nurnhilde had previously instructed them to meet her. Upon arriving and speaking to her, she will inform the Vestige that the relics the Stormfists stole are of immense importance to her and their removal has awoken the draugr below. She requests the Vestige return the relics to their appropriate places within the crypts.

After defeating several draugr, the Vestige will arrive at the first burial chamber where they will have to decide where to place the Old Nord Cup, which represents and honors the servants of each generation's royal family. Queen Nurnhilde instructs them to inspect the cup carefully to find its appropriate altar. After placing the cup on the simple altar, the Vestige must continue to the second burial chamber. Queen Nurnhilde will explain that upon desecrating the crypt, the Stormfists damaged several books and the Vestige must find the page that was torn from Truths of the North relic in order to return it to its altar. The book fits perfectly on the altar if they combine the dry page with it. After traversing through the crypts and arriving at the final burial chamber, Queen Nurnhilde tells the Vestige the following.

Sleep for the Dead 3

"This is wrong. Something is terribly, terribly wrong."

What's the matter? "My body. The Crown of Freydis. They should both be here but they're gone."
Did the Stormfists take your body? "No. Layers of magical protection engulf the interred. Any Stormfist that tried to even touch my body would have been obliterated. Only those of royal blood could have—no!"
What is it? "My brother... has all honor deserted him? Why would he do such a thing? Fildgor... Go! Quickly! Perhaps you can catch him before he gets away. You must retrieve my mortal remains and my crown!"

The Vestige must rush to the exit of the crypts through a connected tunnel. Upon exiting the crypts, Fildgor will escape and the Vestige is ambushed by three of his soldiers, lead by Shukul gro-Agluk. After disposing of the enemies, they must head back to the fort to report to Captain Hamar, who will inform them Lieutenant Koruni's counterattack was a success and the fort has been recaptured. Queen Nurnhilde will appear behind the Captain and will express her disappointment in her brother to the Vestige, but thanks them for their services and rewards them.
