What to do
Description
This human is claiming the Syndicate scum are going to attack Hammerfall! Another day I would not be concerned. But with the outriders dealing with the Witherbark and searching for Danath, Hammerfall is undefended! Let's go {name}. We must defend our home!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Crime Family
This Syndicate human came to us hoping to trade information for a rescue mission. The Syndicate is a recent thorn in our side, so I had half a mind to cut him down where he stood. But he claims to have vital information, and with this news of Danath's disappearance...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hammerfall Down
<Eitrigg growls in frustration.> I was such a fool! I should not have sent away those outriders. Without them, the Syndicate have overrun Hammerfall. And were it not for my fool heart... The "refugees" turned out to be Syndicate spies, curse their greasy hides... But now you're here.
