Walkthrough
For this quest you'll need to return to Riverspring. If you haven't been there in a while, then you might find some new stuff to see. Anybody you kept out of prison during the riot will want to talk to you, and you'll also meet a new shopkeeper depending on who you supported during the riot. If you supported the peasants then you'll find a hawker in the marketplace, if you supported the guards and nobles then you'll find a merchant at the docks, and if you took a middle ground then you'll find a quartermaster in Riverspring Castle's Courtyard.
Also, as you make your way to Riverspring Castle, you'll trigger a pair of encounters. While you're still in King's Landing, you'll run into Marianne Harlton, Lord Harlton's niece, and you'll get a brief introduction to her. Then in Riverspring you'll meet Victor the Ferryman, who will agree to take you to Castlewood (Lord Harlton's home) when you're ready to go.
Inside Riverspring Castle, you'll need to head to the throne room to talk to your sister Elyana (#1). When you tell her that Valarr was responsible for Gawen's death, she'll finally realize that Valarr is a monster, and she'll ask you to help her break off the marriage. But when you ask Elyana where your father might have hid his documents about Valarr, she won't have any idea, and she'll suggest that you talk to Maester Harwyn. Your conversation with Elyana will earn you 100 xp and also trigger the quest
Rings and Chains.
At Harwyn (#2), when you ask him about your father's documents, he'll describe to you the night Gawen got caught going through your father's things, which is what caused him to be disinherited. You'll then take control of Raynald Sarwyck, and you'll need to lead him from the dining hall to his office to the south. For some reason, you won't be able to use the map screen to see where you're going, and you'll have to proceed at a slow walk. When you reach the office (#3), Raynald's conversation with Gawen will play out, and then you'll re-gain control of Alester.
If you search all of the interactive spots in Raynald's office, then you won't find the documents. For better results, you'll need to use your Vision of R'hllor ability. If you use it in the northern part of the office, then you'll find a secret room containing
Raynald Sarwyck's Collar and
The Father's Key. If you use it in the southern part of the office, then you'll detect a door with several keyholes, plus a codex clue for how to open it. You'll need to open this door to proceed further in the quest.
You'll have two choices for opening the door:
- You can track down the keys associated with the seven gods. Each key will require you to use your Vision of R'hllor ability. You find the seven keys scattered throughout the castle:
The Crone's Key (#10),
The Father's Key (#4),
The Maiden's Key (#8),
The Mother's Key (#9),
The Smith's Key (#11),
The Stranger's Key (#6), and
The Warrior's Key (#5).
- You can also head down into the Tunnels (via Exit C) and loot your father's sarcophagus (#14). Inside you'll find a pendant that will open up the door without the need of the seven keys. This option will also earn you the bonus trait Morbid Curiosity (chance of bonus loot +2%).
The option that you choose will net you 300 xp and allow you to open up the door in your father's office (#3), which will allow you to descend into the Secret Tunnels (via Exit E).
Inside the Secret Tunnels, you'll have to solve two puzzles:
- For the first puzzle (#15), you'll have to answer three questions about the Sarwyck sigil. Conveniently, you'll find it hanging on the wall nearby. The three answers are: "whitewashed," "broken," and "on his sigil." You'll receive 250 xp for completing the puzzle.
- For the second puzzle (#17), you'll have to rotate seven wheels to the correct symbol and then pull the lever on the western side of the room. Each wheel is associated with a number (seen by the number of dots surrounding the circle to the left of the wheel), and that number is also associated with a symbol (seen by the number of times the symbol appears on one of the mosaics leading up to the puzzle). Starting with the wheel to the left of the entrance and proceeding clockwise, the correct symbols are: dog (1), flame (2), bloodstain (3), spiked fist (4), bisected angle (5), bird (6), and flower (7). You'll receive 250 xp for completing the puzzle.
Past the puzzles you'll come to the meeting room of the Brotherhood. Inside you'll find a document that will trigger the quest
Avenge Riverspring (#20), plus your father's list of Valarr's illegal activities (#21). Picking up the list will net you 500 xp. You won't be able to read the list because of its encryption, so next up you'll need to deliver it to Lord Harlton at Castlewood. To travel there, you'll need to talk to Victor the Ferryman at the Riverspring Docks.
At Castlewood, you'll start out in a small courtyard where you can do some shopping. Then inside the castle, you'll find the Westeros archive for House Harlton (on the ground next to the throne), and you'll also encounter Lord Harlton. When you talk to Harlton, he'll accept the list from you, and he'll have it delivered to his maester for decryption. Then Harlton will reveal that not only is Jeyne Greystone pregnant with King Robert's child, she's also a descendent of the Targaryen line, making her child critically important to the Brotherhood's plans.
