Detailed Walkthrough

Ussiran Camp encompasses the tower of Nind. On entering, you'll shortly see Belashu Kels. She wants help dealing with an Ussiran bonelord that she has summoned. She wants the matter handled discreetly, for fear of censure by others at the camp - particularly a priest resident there named Ramora Atheron. Belashu also asks that you bring her a halberd carried by the bonelord.

At this point, you can choose to turn Belashu in to the Temple priest, Ramora, who can be found in the camp's Communal Tent. You'll need either 60+ disposition or Curate rank or higher in the Tribunal Temple before Ramora will believe you. If you do this, you'll receive +3 Temple reputation, and the quest ends.

If you want to help Belashu rather than dob her in, go to the top of the mesa behind Nind (ie, where the dome of the tower is). Wait until at least 8 p.m in this area. The Ussiran Bonelord will appear, summoning more undead as you approach. Defeat it, and take the Old Ussiran Halberd from what remains of it. Then return to Belashu to report your success. She'll ask for the halberd, and will offer you some books in magic in exchange should you be willing to give it to her.

If you choose to keep it, Belashu will accept your decision. Otherwise, she will grant you copies of The Art of War Magic, Armies of the Usurper and Corpse Preparation v I in exchange. You can alternatively lie and pretend that you never saw the halberd, in which case Belashu will give you a single copy of Armies of the Usurper.
