=====Progress=====
  - Speak with Brother Augustus at the River Shrine: Although I resolved the haunted situation at the collapsed Sallowstone Mine, I can’t put the strange encounter I had with one of the ghosts out of my mind. They seemed to become possessed by another spirit entirely; one that did not seem very friendly, nor approving of my actions at the mine.Brother Augustus at the river shrine north of Haywind has already demonstrated his knowledge on matters of death once. Perhaps I ought to seek him out once more, to let him know what I witnessed at the mine...
  - Gain information on the Greywall Gate Key from Curator of Thornhill Preservation Society: Brother Augustus was deeply troubled by the news I brought to him about the ghost I encountered near the collapsed mines. He told me about the Dungeons of Greywall within the region, and of his suspicions about a curse that may be gripping its halls. He appealed to me for help in resolving the matter.To investigate Greywall, I must first gain entrance into the dungeons themselves. The priest told me about two Dreamguard knights – members of an order whose mission it is to pacify undead crises – who entered the dungeons before me, sealing the way behind them and losing the keys along the way.However, rumor has it the 'Regal Society for the Preservation of Imberthale's History and Relics' was tasked with recovering one of the lost keys. I should pay the Preservation Society a visit and ask what they know of the key.Their headquarter lies within southern Thornhill, right by the Baron’s Gate.
    - I approached the Curator of Thornhill's Preservation Society, but he was reluctant to share further details on the matter of Greywall's Key until I perform a dubious job for him.
  - Acquire the Greywall Gatekey from the Steward of Thornhill: I convinced the Curator of the Preservation Society to tell me about his exploits in recovering one of Greywall’s Gatekeys. He described using underground tunnels through the mines that have since collapsed in order to recover the key, which he then handed back to its owner – the Steward of Thornhill.I must therefore approach the Steward, who has already lost the key once… The Curator promised to at least set up a meeting for me. I should approach a gatehouse at Thornwall Bastion – the gates leading to Thornhill’s castle – and let the guards know Ser Ames Verrington sent me.
    - I spoke with the Steward of Thornhill, but he was reluctant to part with his key. He made me an offer that he would sell the key to me, if I manage to procure for him the sum of 5000 coins...
  - Delve into the Greywall Dungeons: I convinced the Steward of Thornhill to part with his Greywall Gatekey, though his price was steep. I now have the ability to enter the Dungeons of Greywall and find out what really is going on down there.Greywall is located in the haunted woods, due east of the mining village of Ratcliffe.
  - Look for the elder Dreamguard in lower levels of the dungeon: Within the Greywall Dungeons, I encountered one of the Dreamguard who had come to investigate before me. Sadly, he had met his demise near the entrance and remained behind only as a ghost.He could not say much about the curse that inhabits the halls of Greywall, other than it prevents the dead souls trapped within from passing onto the afterlife – the Dream.He also mentioned Alyssa, the ghost of a woman who seems to be at the center of it all, driving the other souls mad.The young Dreamguard suggested that I search for his master who'd come before him, somewhere further within the dungeon’s depths. If he suffered the same fate, he surely must have remained behind, same as his protege.And if he is as knowledgeable as the young Dreamguard claims, he may be able to tell me how to cleanse this place.
  - Search for the remains of Dreamguard Jorune: Down in the dark depths of the Greywall Dungeon I found the ghost of the elder Dreamguard, Jorune, but disaster – he’s been driven raving mad by the curse!There was no use in trying to talk sense into him, but hopefully he might have left some clues behind before he died?His body was pointedly absent where I found the ghost, but it can’t be far off… I should search for where he died.
  - Subdue Dreamguard Jorune's ghost in combat: While examining the elder Dreamguard’s remains, I was unexpectedly ambushed by his mad ghost! For now, I can do nothing but to subdue him in combat. Then, perhaps, I can talk some sense into him.
  - Persuade Dreamguard Jorune's ghost to regain his senses: Down in the Greywall Dungeons, I managed to subdue the ghost of Dreamguard Jorune after he randomly attacked me. For now, he’s in the mood to talk again, but who knows how long that will last.My best bet might be to somehow convince him to regain his senses, to shake off the madness that grips him. But how to go about that exactly? All I really found left behind on his body was his diary.I wonder if I could somehow leverage his own writings to buckle his mind...
  - Ask Guard Bod about the Cursed Spellbook: I freed the elder Dreamguard from the grips of madness and he told me about the things he’d learned before his unfortunate demise.Before his death, he’d been investigating the existence of a ritual spellbook within these walls, which would have mostly likely played a role in Greywall’s curse.The undead guard who seemed to have knowledge of such a book is named Bod, and he typically hangs out on the jail floor, somewhere near the stairs leading back to the upper floors.
  - Locate the Cursed Spellbook in Greywall library: In my odd discussion with Guard Bod of the Greywall Dungeons, I seem to have gained a lead on the dark spellbook the elder Dreamguard spoke of. Bod gave me a book titled ‘Nature’s Perfect Remedies’ and asked me to return it to the library. I wonder, could the dark spellbook be hidden there?The Greywall Library is back on the top floor, near the dungeon’s entrance.
  - Bring the Cursed Spellbook to Jorune's ghost: I have found the dark spellbook within Greywall's libraries - one that certainly was used to launch the curse upon the dungeons! I should deliver it to the master Dreamguard Jorune in the dungeon's lower levels and see what he makes of it.
  - Find diaries about Greywall's past for Jorune: I brought the dark spellbook I found within Greywall’s library to Jorune. It contained descriptions of a ritual to create a spirit of vengeance – a ritual the woman named Alyssa must surely have used to turn herself into the so called ‘Ghost of Greywall’.According to Jorune, the book also described a way to ‘bind’ the ghost in order to vanquish it. However, the description of the items required to perform the ritual are personally related to the ghost, thus we cannot know what we’re looking for without knowing Alyssa’s past first.While the souls trapped within the dungeon are too mad to tell anything reliable, some of the guards may have left behind writings from an earlier time. If so, they could offer a window into Greywall’s past from before the curse.I should look for journals written by Greywall’s guards within the staff quarters and the jail floor, and show them to Jorune.
  - Acquire ritual objects significant to the Ghost of Greywall: I am on the hunt for items that are required for performing a ritual to bind the Ghost of Greywall so that she may be vanquished. According to the ritual spellbook that I found, the ritual items needed are 'a token from one whom they loved', 'the skull of their worst nemesis' and 'a boon from those who blessed them'.Thankfully I managed to find diaries written from before the curse by guards of the Greywall Dungeons, which shed light on Alyssa’s past and how she became the Ghost of Greywall.It seems Alyssa’s worst nemesis in life was the Warden of Greywall Dungeons himself, Drawyn Spear, who became obsessed with tormenting her. His wraith rages on in his office within the staff quarters of the dungeons – it seems time I depart him from his skull.Alyssa’s husband was also written to have perished within Greywall Dungeons. Guard Bod's diary mentions having buried him by a large boulder near the edge of the woods, somewhere at the outskirts of the dungeons. If I were to take a shovel and search for this location, I may be able to recover an appropriate 'token' for the ritual.Finally, the 'boon from those who blessed them' refers to the authors of the cursed spellbook, whom I learnt from the diaries to mean none other than the Witches of the Silvermirror Fen. I should travel to the Silvermirror Throne and search the witches' grounds for an object they would have considered a boon.
    - Silvermirror Bramble Door: While searching for a boon of the Silvermirror Witches, I found a door made of brambles blocking the way into a promising looking barrow. It complained of thirst, but for what? Perhaps an alchemist at the nearby smuggler village could say...
    - Silvermirror Bramble Door: I found an alchemist called 'The Real Witch' at the smuggler village who could help me with the bramble door, but she was reluctant unless I earn her trust first by doing a favor for her...
    - Silvermirror Bramble Door: 'The Real Witch' at the smuggler village told me brambles of the witches thirst for blood. She promised to make an effective blood concentrate for me, if I deliver 3 sacs from the swamp bloodsuckers to her.
    - Silvermirror Bramble Door: 'The Real Witch' turned swamp bloodsucker sacs into an effective concentrate for me, now all I need is to pour it onto the brambles and hopefully they should let me pass.
    - Silvermirror Bramble Door: I've opened a bramble door at the Silvermirror Throne, hopefully it will lead me to a witch's boon.
  - Bring the ritual objects to Jorune in Greywall Dungeons: I’ve done it! I managed to acquire all three ritual items to summon the Ghost of Greywall. I should bring the witch’s locket, Robert’s wedding ring and Drawyn’s skull to Jorune.He awaits my return down on the jail floor of Greywall Dungeons.
  - Summon the Ghost of Greywall: Only the final step remains in confronting the Ghost of Greywall. I must make my way through Greywall’s ''Oubliette'', accessible from the jail floor.Once I reach its end, I ought to find a ritual circle burnt to the floorstones, where Jorune and I will perform a ritual to summon the ghost once and for all.
  - Defeat the Ghost of Greywall: I interacted with the ritual circle in Greywall’s Oubliette and got what I asked for. The Ghost of Greywall has materialized.Now I must destroy her, though that may be easier said than done...
  - Bring news of your success to Brother Augustus at the River Shrine: The Ghost of Greywall is no more, the curse is lifted! The spirits of the Dreamguard Knights were free to move on, and to guide Alyssa to her final rest. Perhaps given time, the rest of the souls in the dungeons will find their way to the Dream too and the halls will eventually fall silent.I should bring news of my success to the priest back at Haywind’s river shrine, where this journey started.
  - Quest complete!: Given time, the halls of Greywall will fall silent for good.
