==Walkthrough==
In the Wilding Run, you will find a man named Nilaendril. He will tell you that his research group wasattacked by something, and that he is the only survivor. The Fists of Thalmor in the area were also attacked, but there might be survivors among them. Nilaendril will ask you to search for survivors. 
Head to the road northwest of the wayshrine. There, you will find a woman named Corporal Brelinith; speak with her and she will tell you that most of her compatriots are dead, but that she does not know where her or lieutenant are. She will also tell you that the things that attacked them were zombies. Brelinith will have a few ideas on where to look for her superiors; she will suggest the surveyor's camps around the area, as well as the ruins. 
You will find them at the overlook in the northwest of the area. The lieutenant will be wounded on the ground, while Captain Trelano will be kneeling to a shade of Ulthorn, the Hound. The lieutenant will tell you to stop the captain. Talk to the shade and he will tell you that Captain Trelano is trapped and will soon become one of the zombies. He will offer to take you to the place where Trelano's spirit is trapped. Accept, and you will be taken to Hircine's Plane of Oblivion, The Hunting Grounds. Talk to the Shade here and he will tell you that he is a shade of who Ulthorn was before he became the Hound. This place is the prison where Hircine forged him into a loyal servant, though it has been repurposed by Gamekeeper Ozzai to torment souls and turn their bodies into mindless husks that attack everyone. 
To free Trelano from this prison, you must pass three barriers crafted from Ulthorn's memories. To pass the first barrier, you must pick one of three items on the table in front of you. The shade will tell you that he had a sense of humor in life, and that you should pick the humorous gift he gave Gwaering. The bone amulet is the correct choice here; once you tae it, you will see a scene from Ulthorn's memories where Gwaering sets off to Silvenar to heed the spinners' call. Head down the path and you will find another table with three items. The shade will tell you hat the object you must pick here is something Gwaering left behind when she left to become the Green Lady. The correct choice here is the bow; once you pick it up, you will see the memory where Gwaering tells Ulthorn that she is to be the new Green Lady. Proceed further and you will find a third table; the shade will tell you that he prayed to every known god for some way to alter the story and have him end up with Gwaering. The totem of Hircine is the correct answer here; you will see a scene of Gwaering rejecting Ulthorn over his new allegiance to Hircine, and giving him back the bone amulet. 
Now that all the barriers are down, head across the stream into the cave; in the deepest part, you will find Gamekeeper Ozzai tormenting Captain Trelano's spirit. Kill Ozzai, then talk to the shade again and he will send you back to Valenwood. Speak with Captain Trelano there to finish the quest.
