Description

A cage wasn't enough to hold me, so the vrykul ensorcelled these runestones to trap me in here. Each is powered by a different Felskorn rune.

Unfortunately, they gave the runes to different guardians, who have all scattered to different places around Stormheim.

So, if Sira said that you could have your precious keystone back, you're first going to have to get me out of here.

Then, we'll see.

While this quest does remove the Stormforged Grapple Launcher from your inventory, you are still able to use the grapple points around Stormheim. So, don't worry about losing the ability after turning in this quest. Look at it as one more freed-up bag slot!
