The Coldest Sleep is a quest in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The next target is a Nord named Havilstein Hoar-Blood who is always 5 levels above the Hero.

Walktrough

Head up to the Gnoll Mountain outside of Bruma in the Jerall Mountains and find the small camp by following the marker. The way to where Havilstein can be rather difficult if the Hero doesn't have a horse to reach the camp, as the path leading to the top of the hill is obscured.

If the Wizard's Tower add-on is installed, the player can fast travel to that location and one will find him just down the path from the front steps.

Havilstein is camping outside with his wolf and will strike once they see the Hero. Beware of his magical battle axe when he attacks. Assassins who have difficulty in head-to-head combat can run down the mountain and watch him clumsily fall to his own death while trying to swing at them.

Alternatively, the Hero can also have him chase the Hero back to the gates of Bruma where he will be confronted by the Bruma guard and get killed by them.

When Havilstein is dead, head over to Nornal to pick up the reward and the next order. The chest is behind the locked gate, submerged under water.

Update: Upon receiving the quest:

I have picked up my next contract from the dead drop in the hollowed-out tree stump. I have been ordered to go to the campsite on Gnoll Mountain and kill Havilstein Hoar-Blood, a savage Nord Barbarian skilled in the use of the axe.

Update: After killing the barbarian:

Havilstein Hoar-Blood is dead. I must now pick up my reward and next contract at the dead drop located in an old chest that is sunk into the pool at the Ayleid ruin of Nornal.

Trivia

The dead drop location is very tricky. Using a water breathing spell or if one has the Jewel of the Rumare in possession, will make it easier to stay under water.
If Nornal has been explored already the Hero might have looted a key from one of the Marauders in the Ayleid ruin to open the gate with.

+'''The Coldest Sleep''' is a [[Quests (Oblivion)|quest]] in {{Oblivion}}. The next target is a [[Nord (Oblivion)|Nord]] named [[Havilstein Hoar-Blood]] who is always 5 levels above the [[Hero of Kvatch|Hero]].
-== Walkthrough ==
+==Walktrough==
+Head up to the [[Gnoll Mountain]] outside of [[Bruma (Oblivion)|Bruma]] in the [[Jerall Mountains]] and find the small camp by following the marker. The way to where Havilstein can be rather difficult if the Hero doesn't have a [[Horse (Oblivion)|horse]] to reach the camp, as the path leading to the top of the hill is obscured.
-The target is a [[Nord]] named [[Havilstein Hoar-Blood]] and he is five levels above you.  Beware of his magical battle axe and his pet wolf.  They can be found on [[Gnoll Mountain]], outside of [[Bruma]]. The way to where he is can be really challenging. If you don't have a horse, you will have to find the path to reach him because he is on the top of the hill. Your target is camping outside with his wolf, and they will strike you once they see you. For an assassin that can't take him down in head-to-head combat, run down the mountain and watch him clumsily fall to his own death while trying to swing at you. Loot his axe and you can sell it for a lot of gold coins.
+If the ''[[Wizard's Tower]]'' [[Official Plug-ins (Oblivion)|add-on]] is installed, the player can fast travel to that location and one will find him just down the path from the front steps.
-The dead drop location is very very tricky. Presuming  you already have at least [[Buoyancy]] spell under your belt or at least a scroll or an amulet that enable you to breathe under water. You get the Buoyancy spell when you do the mage recommendation quest to retrieve [[Ring of Burden]] on [[Cheydinhal Recommendation]]. The chest is behind a lock gate submerged under water. Because you can't cast a spell under water, you need to find a [[Rusty Key]] in a chest. Go around the dungeon and you will find a lot of [[Marauders]] attacking you. Once you arrive at a very large room with some sleeping bags and chest, you will be attacked with at least 3 Marauders. Kill them all and one of them has the [[Rusty Key]] to open this gate. Once you open the gate, you can open the chest to get your reward and the next target for the quest.
+Havilstein is camping outside with his [[Redmaw (Oblivion)|wolf]] and will strike once they see the Hero. Beware of his magical [[Battle Axes (Oblivion)|battle axe]] when he attacks. Assassins who have difficulty in head-to-head combat can run down the mountain and watch him clumsily fall to his own death while trying to swing at them.
-The next Dead Drop will be at [[Nornal]]. After entering, there will be a locked gate that can be picked open with a lockpick. There is also a way to jump through the metal bars.
+Alternatively, the Hero can also have him chase the Hero back to the gates of Bruma where he will be confronted by the Bruma guard and get killed by them.
