==Walkthrough==
Upon arriving at the fort and speaking to Captain Hamar, he will tell the Vestige the Stormfists came out of nowhere and swiftly overwhelmed the defenders of the fort. He and a few of his troops managed to escape, but others were taken captive inside the walls. He remarks on the peculiarity of the Stormfist presence in the area, as he hasn't seen the clan in this part of Skyrim in decades. Lieutenant Koruni has sent word to the Captain that she aims to retake the fort, and is trying to sneak into the central barracks. He requests the Vestige liberate the captured defenders, and afterwards report to the Lieutenant to provide assistance. Inquiring about the relevance of the fort reveals its primary purpose is to defend the burial chambers beneath it, where most of the Nords' departed rulers are buried, including Queen Nurnhilde, the deceased sister of King Jorunn and Fildgor. 
The captured Morvunskar soldiers are kept at various locations throughout the fort, with each of them being guarded by a detachment of various Stormfist troops. After dispatching the Stormfists and freeing the soldiers, the Vestige must make their way to the central barracks of the fort where they will encounter Lieutenant Koruni. Alternatively, the soldiers can be persuaded to join the Vestige if the Persuasion perk is unlocked. Lieutenant Koruni will say the following.
"You rescued my soldiers. For that, you have my thanks."
:Happy to help. What's next? "We're ready to take back the barracks. I need you to deal with the invaders' commander, the Nord called Halskar. Find his orders. We need to know what's going on. They should be someplace safe, not far from wherever you find the lout."
I'll deal with Halskar and find his orders. "I had a feeling about you! Glad to see that I was right. Now follow us!"
Upon entering the barracks, the Vestige will have to make their way through the Stormfists to the second floor of the building. Once there, they must confront and defeat Warlord Halskar, who guards a strongbox. Opening the strongbox reveals his possessions, which include his orders and a collection of relics from the crypts beneath the fort. Upon closing the strongbox, the spirit of Queen Nurnhilde will appear, who tells the Vestige the following.
"I am Nurnhilde, Queen of the Nords. I come to you from Sovngarde with an urgent demand."
:What do you need spirit? "The relics you took from that strongbox were stolen from the royal tombs beneath Fort Morvunskar."
::What should I do with the relics? "Return the relics to their rightful places in the tombs below, of course. What else would you do with them? Accomplish this task and I will forever be in your debt."
:I'll return the relics to the tomb. "Meet me behind this building, at the entrance to the tombs. I shall wait for you there."
The Vestige must now head down to the first floor of the barracks to report to Lieutenant Koruni. Upon informing her they have defeated Halskar, she will read Halskar's orders, which reveals Stormfist troops assaulted the fort through the crypts and surprised the defenders. They weren't after the fort itself though, their true prize is inside the crypts. Koruni will reward the player and the quest will be complete.
