Emberus assigns the Find Out Who Killed My Son and Kill Hellik Quest to Carl on the Fifth Floor. The quest notifications glow with golden light, and are narrated in Emberus's gravelly voice.[1]
"Find Out Who Killed My Son" requires Carl to identify Geyrun's murderer and their motive before he can exit the Eighteenth Floor.[1] The quest is occasionally updated with clues and leads that are best described as "side quests."
Quest
New Quest. Find Out Who Killed My Son.
Geyrun was murdered. Find out who did it and why. My only clue is that the most obvious suspect, my brother Hellik, was in council with the rest of us when it happened. Visit the high cleric at the Emberus Shrine at Club Vanquisher for additional details.
Time Limit: There is no time limit for this quest. However, you will receive a smite if you attempt to exit the 18th floor of the world dungeon before this task is complete.
Reward: That depends on who did it.[2]
Quest Updates
As events unfold, Emberus assigns Carl "quest updates" that are probably better described as "side quests."
First Quest Update
Book 5
Osvaldo looted the crystal from Queen Imogen's body and fled down the stairs. Prepotente has a separate quest to retrieve the crystal.Obtain the item: Memorial Crystal: Apito. See if this has any bearing on Geyrun’s murder. You still need to speak with the high cleric at the Emberus Shrine in Club Vanquisher.[3]
Second Quest Update

Third Quest Update

Fourth Quest Update
Book 7
Amayon, Prince of Sheol claims to know what happened to my child.
He has offered to give up this information in exchange for me killing his three brothers. We have a truce, the gods and the demons. I do not wish to break it, but I will do what is necessary to learn the truth. There is a way, however, for me to do this without causing a war that will burn the mortal world to ashes. Proceed to the Temple of Issitoq in a Club Vanquisher and treat with the High Cleric of the Watch. Gain permission for me to break the truce. You still need to obtain the item Soul Crystal—Apito.
You are doing well, martyr. Do not disappoint me now. [6]

This so-called Psamathe claims she was part of my son’s death. Capture her for me, and I will personally handle the interrogation. Once I have finished grilling her, I will cleanse this world in fire to remove the stink of this murderer’s presence.

Fly, martyr. Bring my enemy to me.[9]
