Skyrim:Lifting the Shroud

Summary

When visiting Vilemyr Inn in Ivarstead you may overhear the innkeeper, Wilhelm, warning Lynly Star-Sung about a ghost in the nearby barrow. If you are intrigued and like a good ghost story, Wilhelm will inform you that Shroud Hearth Barrow, an ancient Nord crypt just outside of town, is haunted and warns you away from it as well. When pressed further, Wilhelm will confess to seeing the spirit and complain that the haunting is harming his business. If you volunteer to investigate the haunting, Wilhelm will think you daft and tell you of Wyndelius Gatharian, an adventurer who went to explore the barrow a year ago. Screams were heard in the night, and the adventurer was never seen again. Alternatively, you can go directly to the barrow without speaking to Wilhelm beforehand.

The quest involves investigating a haunted barrow, which offers some altruistic and heroic elements. It provides minor rewards and knowledge, with little involvement in major political or criminal activities.
