Journal entry
Captain Veleth told me that Adril Arano, Second Councilor of Raven Rock, wanted to speak to me immediately. I should find him and discover the reason for his urgent message.
Speak to Adril Arano
Journal entry
Adril Arano has requested my help with what he believes is an imminent threat on Councilor Morvayn's life. He believes members of the Ulen family are present on the island and seek revenge upon Morvayn for executing their ancestor. He's requested that I investigate the identity of any possible assassins, hoping to catch them unaware. For now, I've refused his request, but I should return to Adril when I'm ready to assist him.

He's requested that I investigate the identity of any possible assassins, hoping to catch them unaware. Adril suggests that I start by speaking to Geldis Sadri, the innkeeper at the Retching Netch Cornerclub. He's hoping that Geldis, who has quite the reputation as a gossip, might have some useful leads.
Speak to Geldis Sadri
Journal entry
Geldis Sadri has pointed out that someone is leaving ash yam offerings in the Ulen Ancestral Tomb even though no Ulens live on Solstheim. He suggests that I stake the tomb out at night and discover the identity of the mystery visitor. Hopefully this person is either the assassin himself or can lead me to the assassin threatening Councilor Morvayn's life.
Discover the identity of the tomb's visitor
Wait inside Ulen Ancestral Tomb
Journal entry
I discovered Tilisu Severin visiting the Ulen Ancestral Tomb at night. This seems suspicious, as she doesn't belong to the Ulen family by name. I should bring this piece of evidence to Adril Arano immediately.
Report back to Adril Arano
Journal entry
I've informed Adril Arano that Tilisu Severin was the mystery vistor leaving offerings in the Ulen Ancestral Tomb. Since this is not enough evidence to accuse her of a crime, he's sending me to Severin Manor in order to uncover solid evidence that exposes Tilisu as an assassin.
Recover evidence from Severin Manor
Journal entry
I've recovered evidence from Severin Manor that exposes the true nature of the Severin family. The letters indicate that Vendil Severin is actually Vendil Ulen and that his supposed wife Tilisu and his daughter Mirri are members of House Hlaalu, one of the Great Houses that opposes Morvayn's House Redoran. All three of them are working in conjuction with unknown forces in a place called "Ashfallow Citadel," to assassinate Councilor Morvayn. I need to bring this urgent revelation to Adril Arano immediately.
Bring the evidence to Adril Arano
Journal entry
Adril Arano has sent me to Ashfallow Citadel to destroy Vendil Ulen and whatever forces he's amassed there. I'm supposed to meet two Redoran Guard outside the ruins who will assist me in this regard.
Meet up with the Redoran Guard
Journal entry
Adril Arano has sent me to Ashfallow Citadel to destroy Vendil Ulen and whatever forces he's amassed there. I've found the two Redoran Guard I was supposed to meet there dead. I'll have to carry the fight into the ruins alone.
End the threat to Councilor Morvayn
Journal entry
I've killed Vendil Ulen and stopped the threat against Councilor Morvayn. Vendil had hired assassins from Morrowind known as the Morag Tong to help him with his coup, but fortunately I was able to defeat them in the depths of Ashfallow Citadel. I should return to Adril Arano with the good news.
Return to Adril Arano
Follow Adril Arano
Speak to Councilor Morvayn
Journal entry
With the Vendil Ulen dead and the Morag Tong eliminated, I've ended the threat to Councilor Morvayn. In appreciation for my actions, I've been awared Severin Manor and all of the contents within and deemed an honorary citizen of Raven Rock.
