The party restored the seal's fixing at Hollowpeak, stopping the audible undersong and dropping the creatures controlled through iron tags. The presence beneath the mountain remains awake behind a damaged lid, so the danger is contained rather than ended.
Torvin hired the party to identify who cut through the hidden wall in the East Mine and why. The marked group now appears connected to a rapidly growing merchant guild in Marrow's Cliff, and Sister Raina has directed the party to Ossin, a dock clerk who may know more.
Hesk Dunmer will carry the party north to Kaldrek without charge if they investigate the Scaries and learn what is killing Saltwick's fish and destroying its boats. The discovery of a Kindling Rite iron tag in a dead seal makes the danger part of the wider threat around Hollowpeak.
The party must determine how far the Kindling Rite's long preparation has progressed and stop whatever is being opened beneath Hollowpeak. The evidence now points back toward Kaldrek and the East Mine.
Hesk Dunmer offered the party passage north to Kaldrek if they could solve the danger keeping Saltwick's boats from the Scaries. The party repelled the immediate eel attack, but the source and purpose of the singing water remain unknown.
The party must understand and prevent the Kindling Rite's attempt to open the seal beneath Hollowpeak. Mother Ash claimed the seal is a lid over an awakening voice, the undersong, whose call can enter opened creatures and make everything answer.
Sister Raina directed the party to Marrow's Cliff and Ossin for evidence linking the marked group to activity in the port. Varnhall's unexplained northern cargo and clandestine Tower Six runs now make the company the party's clearest lead.
Ossin's evidence suggested that Varnhall Company was concealing dangerous northern cargo through unrecorded lift runs. The recovered ledger proved that the company has served as the Kindling Rite's shipping arm for six years, but its remaining personnel, facilities, and wider work remain unresolved.
Resolved
Varnhall Company's altered shipping records concealed its work for the Kindling Rite and its northern cargo. Ossin sought proof that could survive the company's influence over the Harbor Council.
Torvin hired the party to discover who had cut the East Mine's hidden wall and why. They learned that the Kindling Rite had completed a years-long tunnel from the far side and used it to breach the seal beneath Hollowpeak.
Torvin hired the party to inspect the East Mine’s flooded lower shaft, assess its supports, remove remaining water, and confirm that it was safe to reopen. Their survey established that the shaft was unsafe after a hidden tunnel breach triggered a collapse.
Torvin hired the party to learn who cut the hidden wall in the East Mine and why. Mother Ash identified the Kindling Rite's purpose as opening the mine, its wall, and ultimately the seal beneath Hollowpeak so the undersong could be heard.
