Quest Group: Grantebridgescire / The Song of Soma
Prerequisites: To play this quest, you must first complete the quests Razing Earnningstone, Unholy Father, Storming Ravensburg.
You will receive this quest automatically when you have completed all three Soma's advisers quests.
One of Soma's three most trusted advisors is a traitor. Eivor must investigate Grantebridgescire and find out who they are.
Return to Ravensburg. Soma managed to catch one of Wigmund's captains and tell you and her advisors to interrogate him.
The captain will tell you that Wigimund is on the Isle of Ely. That's all you'll learn, because Galinn kills him.
Go to Soma and tell her what you learned from the captain. Soma will ask you what you have found out about the traitor and you will receive the following options.
Look for more evidence and return to Soma when you are ready to accuse someone.
You can talk to the people in the village. One of the men in the village will mention a boat that was moored nearby on the day of the attack. You can also enter the tunnel and examine the sign painted with yellow paint at it's exit.
Then follow the yellow paint trail. To find paint marks, use Odin's Sight.
The trail will take you to the riverbank where you will find an empty paint bucket.
Examine it and you will come to further conclusions.
To find a boat, go to the place marked on the picture below.
Kill a few opponents on the shore and examine the boat. You will get another very important clue.
Examine the crates standing on the shore and you will come to further conclusions.
The boat was attacked by bandits but someone managed to escape. When you go in the direction in which this person escaped, you will reach the tower where you found one of Soma's advisors. And it was ... GALINN. He is the traitor.
After completing this quest, you will be able to play the quest An Island of Eels.
