Walkthrough

This quest requires you to gather objects, and then give those objects to NPCs when it is their turn. This is done by determining which of the remaining NPCs is a thrall, and talking to them when you have specific items in your inventory. Below is a table that shows the NPC, their dialog the indicates they are the thrall, and the two items you must have. If the items are not in the same persons inventory, then it can bug out, so trade them around as necessary.

There are two types of items, Area Items (items that are found in the latest open area). These are what makes the thrall receptive of the item below. This you can give to the wrong person, and then the NPC that is the thrall will become an enemy at the end fight.

The second item is specific to the NPC and can only be given to that NPC. These are all findable before talking to Sir Ebermund the first time.
