Nylidar is found by North Gate of Jordheim.

Nylidar says, "Oh dear me, I fear my brother and I have done [something awful], Viking."

Nylidar says, "Do you promise not to tell anyone what we have done? Please, you must [promise me] that you won't tell another soul!"

Nylidar says, "I believe you, Viking, so do not break your promise. Do you know how those Kobolds recently reopened the old Burial Grounds that lay beneath Jordheim? Well, there were old stories in my family that our ancestors were buried down in that hallowed earth, along with [their treasures]."

Nylidar says, "My father passed on the stories to my brother and I of the riches that were buried with our ancestors and how we must never disturb the dead and their treasures or we would bring down [a curse] upon our family."

Nylidar says, "Of course we children thought his story was mainly to keep us from trying to find the entrance to the Burial Grounds where the treasures were hidden. But now I know that his warning was [not just a story]!"

Nylidar says, "When the Kobolds emerged from the ground and reopened the passage into the Burial Grounds, my brother and I began to plan our trip down there. Oh, I wish we had listened to our father and not [ventured] down into the depths of the earth!"

Nylidar says, "Three days ago, we went into the Burial Grounds. Amazingly we found both our ancestors' remains and their treasure. My brother picked out a golden torque to take back with him. He encouraged me to take something and I almost did, but at the last minute I could not. We returned to the surface; he with his torque and me empty-handed. That was the [last time] I saw my brother."

Nylidar says, "The next morning, when I went to wake him, he was gone. All I found was the golden torque lying upon his bed. No one in the city or in the Burial Grounds has seen him. I fear that his removing the torque from the Burial Grounds has brought down the curse upon us. I fear that I am next unless I [return] the torque."

Nylidar says, "I would do it myself, but I fear entering those Burial Grounds again. Please, Viking, I need your help. I will pay you if you will but take this torque and return it to my ancestors. What do you say, Viking, will you [do this for me]?"

You have been given the Family Curse quest.

Nylidar says, "I will be in your debt for this, Viking. Here is the torque. When you enter the Burial Grounds, seek out the disturbed souls. Among them is one named Bryandin. He appeared as soon as my brother removed the torque from its resting place. I believe the torque once belonged to him. It must be returned to him so that my brother will be returned to me. Please go now, Viking. I am worried for both my brother and myself."

You receive Bryandin's Torque from Nylidar!

You find Bryandin in Burial Grounds.
You examine Bryandin. It is hostile towards you.
Bryandin says, "Why... do... you... disturb... me?"
Bryandin gives you a dirty look.
You give Bryandin the Torque.
Bryandin says, "Thank... you... I... can... now... return... to... my... slumber.... The... boy... will... be... returned... soon..."

You return to Nylidar in Jordheim.

Nylidar says, "What news do you bring me, Skald? "

You say, "returned the torque"

Nylidar says, "If he is at rest once more, then does that mean my brother will be [returned to me] soon?"

Nylidar says, "Oh, that is good news, Skald! Thank you so much! Here is the money I promised you. I am in your debt, Skald. You have lifted the curse from my family!"

You are awarded 90 copper!
You are awarded 405 experience!
You have completed the Family Curse quest.
