Suggested level: 13
Location: Skellige
To start this quest, find a chest located in one of the houses near the Ruined Inn signpost on Ard Skellige and take a letter from it.
During his travels Geralt came across a well-worn letter. It had clearly been folded and unfolded many times by someone who had often found reason to refer to its contents.

Fjale,
I've got bad news for you. Your father's ship sank off the southern coast of Ard Skellig. Far as I know, there were no survivors. Only a few bodies were recovered. They were already blue and bloated. I could only recognize Jovik by his tattoo. I'll do what I can to prepare the body for the funeral, but brace yourself. It won't be a pretty sight.
I know what was on that ship. Everything you had. So if you need to borrow some coin, don't hesitate to write. Your father and I were bound by blood - I'll never refuse you help.
--Varlind
Sail to the shipwreck. The chest is on the sunken part of the deck.
Geralt found the wrecked ship that had once belonged to Fjale's father. It turned out its valuable cargo was still there - to the witcher's great delight.
