He will send you with one of their Oathblades, Gwyn Anwy, to investigate the Vault itself. Be sure to find the Warsworn contract board inside Helmgard. There you can get “The Pilgrim's Setback”, “Wrest of Peace” and “Vane's Luck”.

Head to the southwest and head through the passage toward the Wolds. You will easily find the Vault en route. There you will meet Gwyn who explains how things came to be as they are. Head deeper into the vault. Inside you will find five or six Fahrlangi Magi and Cultists. These take some work to defeat so relish in the aid you have.

After the fight, approach Gwyn and she will reveal a key that the leader had on him. Time to return to Helmgard keep and tell Grian what has happened. When you get there you will learn that Grian jailed Gwyn for his suspicions. Head ot the back, southern, part of the keep and talk with her. Attempt to persuade her to get more information out. There are two things you can talk out of her, do so to get a ring from her strongbox that will be very helpful. Continue to talk with her to learn more about the whole setup. Now take the key over to Grian who will confirm that it is a copy, time for you to head to Tirin's Rest and see the Master Locksmith.

Defeat the Cultists that are laying siege to the bolt hole he has. Ask him about the key and you will that a Pledgeshield, Fenan. Time to return to the keep and see what is happening. You can just report to Grian or take a moment to investigate the second marker to gain a ring you can sell.
