Tharsten explains that a problem has arose in the village, and Engar Ice-Mane has been accused, by Rigmor Halfhand, of stealing his pelts. Tharsten asks the Nerevarine to investigate the matter.
===The villager's opinions===
The Nerevarine may question people about Engar Ice-Mane, they will all mention what an honorable warrior he is.
Speaking to Rigmor, who is in the center of the village, with other Skaal Honor Guards, will only confirm what Tharsten already knows. Engar Ice-Mane, himself, denies all accusations.
===Risi Ice-Mane===
Engar's wife, Risi, can be found in their hut, she also denies the accusations, and adds that Rigmor is probably jealous and is trying to disgrace her husband. After inspecting their hut, the Hero finds a letter on the bed. The letter reveals that Rigmor is enamored with Risi, and is warning her, asking her to leave Engar. The Nerevarine may confront her, and she will admit that she had an affair with Rigmor, a while ago, but she ended the relationship. She suggest speaking with Rigmor.

They must choose, as according to the Skaal traditions, whether Rigmor is bannished from the Skaal or should he be fed to the Skaal's ceremonial wolves. According to the Skaal code of honor, Tharsten explains that, if the ceremonial wolves are chosen, this would cleanse Rigmor's honor. Once a choice is made, the quest is completed.
If the wolves are chosen, Rigmor will run into the pen, by the center of the village, where three wolves have been conjured, Rigmor will perish very fast, and the wolves disappear.

10 	Tharsten Heart-Fang was pleased with the reactivation of standing stones, and tells me that I have passed the Test of Loyalty among the Skaal. Now I must pass the Test of Wisdom.
*Quest accepted
20 	Engar Ice-Mane has been accused of theft by Rigmor Halfhand. Apparently, theft is a grievous offense among the Skaal, as each is given according to his need. It is an offense punishable by death, or worse, exile from Skaal lands. Engar Ice-Mane has chosen death over exile. Heart-Fang would like me to investigate the accusation of theft, bring him proof of the crime, and make a decision based on my findings. I should speak with the people of the Skaal Village and find out what I can about the crime.
30 	I have been told that many people doubt that Engar would resort to any sort of thievery. He was a respected warrior, and was known to be an honorable man.
40 	Korst Wind-Eye believes that Engar Ice-Mane could not possibly be a thief. He says that the warrior is a much-honored and respected member of the tribe, and that it seems unbelievable that he would steal from another. He suggests I speak with Ice-Mane's wife, Risi.
45 	Risi has told me that she does not believe that her husband could possibly have done what he is accused of. She claims that Halfhand is merely jealous of her husband, and has trumped up these charges to disgrace him.
50 	I have found a note that suggests that Rigmor Halfhand and Risi Ice-Mane had recently had an affair. I should show this note to Risi Ice-Mane, and speak with her about this issue.
55 	Risi tells me it is true that she and Halfhand did have a brief affair. Although Risi ended their relationship, Halfhand has continued to pursue her affections. I should speak with Rigmor Halfhand about this situation.
60 	Confronted with the evidence I have gathered, Halfhand admitted to his prior relationship with Risi Ice-Mane, and also admitted that he accused Engar with the crime to force him out of the Skaal camp.
70 	I have reported my findings to Tharsten Heart-Fang. He was convinced by my evidence, and has declared that all charges against Ice-Mane are to be dropped. Additionally, he has told me that presenting a false accusation of a serious crime is in itself as serious a crime, and Halfhand must now be sentenced.
80 	Because Heart-Fang now trusts my judgment, I must decide what the punishment for Halfhand will be. I must choose between Halfhand being exiled from the Skaal community or being fed to the Skaal's ceremonial wolves. Apparently, being fed to the wolves is considered a more honorable way to die.
100 	I have chosen exile as Halfhand's punishment. Heart-Fang was satisfied with my decision, and has rewarded me with the Helm of the Wolf's Heart.
