Detailed Walkthrough

The Ja-Natta Syndicate plans to make use of Helval ancestral tomb, and so Saldeni orders that you destroy the undead guardians there. She'll give directions as follows:

"You can get to it by leaving Narsis to the southwest and following the road east, then turning right onto a dirt path before the Old Dren Plantation. Follow the path til it forks and take the right branch, then turn right again to get to the tomb."

Follow these directions and enter the tomb. You'll find two members of the Helval family inside. They are understandably suspicious of your presence here, and Saldeni won't be happy with their presence. So you'll need to get rid of them - either by outright murdering them or by successful use of Intimidate on Sodren Helval. Then clear the undead from the tomb - your journal will update once this has done.

With the Dunmer and their ancestors handled, return to Saldeni for a reward. She'll also reveal the reason why the syndicate wanted the tomb, for it seems that Greydust is derived from a fungus applied to the bones of the dead within.
