Father's Task is the first main quest of the Human Noble origin story. You are instructed to give your brother a message. Your father, Teyrn Bryce Cousland, and Arl Rendon Howe have been summoned by King Cailan to the battle at Ostagar. However, Arl Howe's forces have been delayed. You have been sent to tell your brother, Fergus, that he should leave for Ostagar ahead of your father. Fergus is probably in his room, saying goodbye to his wife and child.
