Grantham Blakeley's skeleton

The skeleton is released, and the ghost appears

Grantham Blakeley is a Breton warrior whose skeleton is found bound to a post inside The Emma May, a shipwreck located at the Mouth of the Panther, along the coast of Niben Bay.

The crew of the Emma May, led by Gable, mutinied against Captain Laughton for his decision to sail on in the face of a dangerous storm while traveling to the Imperial City via the Niben Bay. Grantham was the sole crew member who stood by his captain, and was chained up below decks by the mutineers. The ship subsequently sank in the treacherous inlet known as the Mouth of the Panther, losing all hands aboard and condemning Grantham's spirit to roam the shores of Niben Bay.

Blakeley's ghost wears a set of lower class clothing: a coarse linen shirt, coarse linens and a pair of oiled linen shoes. He also carries a small amount of gold.

Quest-Related Events

If you meet the ghost near Bawnwatch Camp after 8pm, he will . At this point he will speak to you and explain:

"I was once the man known as Grantham Blakeley. Look for me in the mouth of the panther. Please... release me."

Returning to Gilgondorin for help in locating the wreck will have him say:

The Forlorn Watchman

"Never heard the name Grantham Blakeley before. Means nothing to me, sorry."

After you have unchained the skeleton in the depths of The Emma May, the ghostly incarnation of Grantham Blakeley will emerge in front of you and speak:

"I knew one day someone with unyielding virtue would heed my words and speed my release. You risked much to perform such a selfless act. This noble deed will not go unrewarded. Look upon the ground in this prison. There you will find a map to my gratitude. I thank you with all my heart. Farewell."

After this speech, the ghost will leave behind a valuable treasure map and disappear in a mist.

Rumors

Grantham's daughter, Angelie, lives in the Talos Plaza District of the Imperial City. If you speak to her, she will explain:

"Angelie Blakeley. This is my father's house. He was lost at sea, many years ago."

Her father's fate has also turned her off sailors:

Imperial City

"I'm content here. Some day I hope to meet the right man, but not a seaman. Never."

Notes

• His first lines are also spoken (on PC and PS3 versions of the game) by the test NPC Alban Corinis, although they are spoken in an Imperial rather than Breton voice and do not have the filters applied to them to make them sound ghostly.
