Death on the Steppes

The Aeslings will succeed where others have failed, but why are you here? You speak of the Snake sending you this way, then you are no more than a puppet of the deceiver. The Eagle is wise, it is to him you should look for knowledge. Knowledge of death is likely to be in the skull of one who speaks to the dead. You should have killed that witch in Ostland and saved yourself all this trouble. There is one dead-speaker here, a fool who rings the bell in a tower north of Suderheim. Kill him and take his skull to the skull collector at Hellfang Ridge, you’ll know him by the pot he stirs.

Go to the Tower of the Fallen and kill the local amethyst wizard Werner Schadelweise who tended to the cemetery outside Suderheim. Kill him and bring his skull to Thorbeck the Deceiver at the Hellfang Ridge warcamp.
