Walkthrough[]
Upon completing "Discovery in the Mine," Carnius will inform the Nerevarine that he has been giving Falco nearly impossible assignments in the hopes of ruining Falco's reputation and deterring investors. One of those assignments is to send frequent reports to Carnius. Carnius will ask the Nerevarine to meet up with Hroldar the Strange in the courtyard and make sure the next messenger never arrives.
Go to the courtyard and speak with Hroldar. He will tell you to follow him. Follow him to an area a little distance from Fort Frostmoth. He will then tell you to find the messenger and lead him there.
The messenger will be on the east side of Raven Rock. his name is Tirvel Balen. He will tell you that he has to deliver a report to Carnius Magius in fort Frostmoth, but he is scared of all the wolves and spriggans inhabiting the wilderness. He will ask you to escort him to fort Frostmoth. Lead him to where Hroldar is, and Hroldar's wolves will make short work of him. Getting him killed by any other wildlife will also do the job.
when Tirvel is dead, speak with Hroldar. He will give you three Scrolls of Savage Tyranny and a note from Carnius. The note will mention that Hroldar has outgrown his usefulness to Carnius, and that Carnius wants you to kill Hroldar. The scrolls may be used to turn his own wolves against him, but using them is not necessary.
Once Hroldar is dead, return to Carnius to get your reward.
