Objectives in order

Journal entry

In Skyrim, talking to an innkeeper can provide you with jobs, rumors, and other interesting leads. I should speak with one and find out if they have anything I can help with.

Ask an innkeeper for work

Search the laboratory for clues

Journal entry

Goldenhills Plantation near Rorikstead is reportedly haunted by ghosts that harass travelers on the road. The Jarl of Whiterun Hold is offering the plantation itself as a reward for anyone who can lay the spirits to rest. I should head to Goldenhills Plantation to investigate.

Travel to Goldenhills Plantation

Journal entry

Upon reaching Goldenhills Plantation, I discoverd that the rumors were true - this place is indeed haunted by the restless dead. What is driving the spirits of these simple farmers to such rage? And what sort of tragedy caused their untimely deaths? I should search the farm to find out more.

Urval accused his wife of being a witch before attacking her, after which she appears to have poisoned him. Could Jonquil have murdered her own son? I should try to find her secret laboratory to uncover the truth.

Jonquil believed her angry, controlling husband had killed their son, Rin, so she poisoned him. Could Urval have murdered his own son? I should search the farm to find out more.

Find evidence of Urval's guilt

Journal entry

I have uncovered the truth about what occurred at Goldenhills Plantation. After their son disappeared, Urval and Jonquil killed each other - Jonquil with extract of Deadly Nightshade, Urval with an axe - each thinking that the other had murdered their son, Rin. The only way to finally bring peace to their spirits is to discover what really became of Rin.

Find out what happened to Rin

Journal entry

I have uncovered the horrible truth about what occured at Goldenhills plantation. After their son disappeared, Urval and Jonquil killed each other, and their son appears to have run away to escape his parents' bickering. The only way to finally bring peace to the spirits here is to find out what happened to Rin, and to do that I need to find the old well mentioned in his journal.

Find the old well

Take the toy sword

Journal entry

I have found Rin's remains near the old well, along with his beloved toy sword. According to his journal, he ran away from home to escape his parents' constant fighting; apparently, it looks like the wolves got the better of him. I should return the toy sword to Goldenhills Plantation, so that the spirits of Urval and Jonquil can finally know the truth of what happened to their son.

Return Rin's toy sword to the farm

Speak to Rin

Journal entry

The restless spirits at Goldenhills Plantation can finally rest in peace, reunited with the spirit of their son and knowing that neither of them murdered their only child. Now that Goldenhills Plantation is no longer haunted, I can claim it for my own.
