Detailed Walkthrough 
King Jorunn requests your assistance. He needs you to meet with an agent of his at the Fighters Guild in Davon's Watch, Vulkhel Guard or Daggerfall, depending on your alliance. Head into the guild hall and find this agent. It's Lyris Titanborn! Speak with her about the assignment. She needs you to help her investigate the Icereach Coven, which has become a threat to the region in recent times. The two of you are tasked with tracking down the Icereach Coven and figuring out what their ultimate plan is. However, she needs to speak with you further in a more discreet location. You will need to meet with Lyris at the Shrine to Saint Rilms Deshaan, the Elden Root Temple Wayshrine in Grahtwood or the Weeping Giant Wayshrine in Stormhaven. She will brief you on the mission there. You have the option of fast traveling with Lyris during the conversation.

Investigating Icereach Activity

Lyris found several medallions off of the Icereach witches during her previous mission. She gave them to the Skald-King's wizards, who determined that the medallions were infused with magic, but weren't sure what their purpose was. The wizards enchanted the medallions so they would lead the wielder to magic similar to the kind already infused with the medallions. She gives you a medallion and asks you to follow any trail that appears. Wave the medallion around and follow the first trail. You'll be led to a summoning circle filled with charred corpses. Investigate the corpses, and you'll find a  . The only legible words on the note were "a lucrative opportunity". Speak with Lyris about your findings. Your lead isn't much, but Jorunn's scouts provided a few locations you'll want to investigate in their last report.

Head towards Eidolon's Hollow in Deshaan, Brackenleaf in Grahtwood or Cumberland's Watch in Stormhaven. Wave the medallion around and follow the glowing red trail. You'll find another circle with a two bloodfiends feasting on a dead Harrowfiend. Kill the bloodfiends and examine their meal. You'll find a   on the corpse.

Follow the path. It will lead to the Lord stone in Grahtwood and Deshaan, and Hammerdeath Arena in Stormhaven. You'll find a ritual circle with a Witch Pike in the center of it. When you approach to investigate, you'll be ambushed by a Vampire Raider and Shadowcaster. Kill them and investigate the circle, then take a  .

Suddenly, you hear the sounds of conflict from above or below you. Find Lyris Titanborn and speak with her. She's surrounded by the corpses of three Vampire Raiders. Tell her about the strange note you found earlier on the dead bloodfiend. She's perplexed by how vampires, bloodfiends and rituals fit into the puzzle, informs you of her own findings. She found a note from a merchant named Goharth Ironbelly on the corpse of a vampire. She says that this Ironbelly character has been supplying the coven with something they needed, but the note didn't go into detail. Apparently, Goharth Ironbelly can be found at The Withered Tree.
 
Trailing Ironbelly

Fast travel with Lyris to Riften. When you arrive, you'll find yourself at the wayshrine. Follow her to the Withered Tree inn and speak with her there. She asks that you be discreet and try not to approach him or scare him off. When he leaves the inn, you'll follow him, and hopefully, he'll lead you two to the coven. Ironbelly enters the inn and orders a drink. He then takes notice of Lyris, who doesn't appreciate it when Ironbelly attempts to flirt with her. Ironbelly persists and Lyris punches him, knocking him to the ground. Goharth then leaves the inn. You'll need to follow him. He passes the Artisan's Hall then passes over the docks, heading down the ramp and entering the Riften Ratway. Enter the Ratway and find Goharth. When you enter the tunnels, the gate slams shut behind you, separating you from Lyris. You'll need to push forward and try to meet each other further in.

Navigate the Ratway. Eventually, you'll enter a room with a grate on the ceiling. Goharth and a woman he calls Sister Balra are speaking above you. Things get heated when Goharth demands to be turned by a vampire, and Sister Balra kills him.   drops from the grate above as Balra walks away. Pick up the key and head upstairs to investigate Goharth's corpse. You'll notice a pamphlet next to Ironbelly's body. Lyris arrives just as you investigate the murder. Tell her about what happened. She speculates that Sister Balra must be a part of the Icereach Coven. The flier you found mentions an inn in Eastmarch, located west of Voljar's Meadery. That must be your next lead. Meet Lyris by a cart outside Riften's southwestern gate, and speak with her there to end the quest.
