Secretive Simun

While you’re in Kaer Trolde, be sure to visit the New Port Inn once the matter with Lugos has been resolved, and you’ll find Simun Brambling there. He too, has finished his dealings with Lugos, and tells you he has some scores to settle. You’re to provide the muscle. Simon is a little secretive, telling you only to meet him by a hut on a lake close to Blandare. You’ll receive further instructions when you get there. You can refuse, but this ends the quest before it starts.

Northeast of Rannvaig and northwest of Blandare is the lake in question, and the hut on the shore is on the eastern shore. Approach and you’ll discover that the instructions you’re about to receive involve the murder of a man named Volund. Inquire what Volund’s crimes were, and Volund pipes up, telling you Simun is the one in the wrong—he killed Volund’s brother. Not that this matters to Simun; you’re ordered to slay Volund. You can:

• Tell Simun you’re not a murderer, and refuse. You must then kill Simun, who is furious you didn’t repay your debt.
• Tell Volund it isn’t anything personal, and attack. You must slay Volund, who is a pushover with you and Simun both attacking.

Afterward, you may speak to the survivor, requesting a stop to your involvement in the unending feuds about pride and bonds of kinship. The quest concludes.
