Njorlund Steel-Wind is a Nord soldier of the Ebonheart Pact and the son of Gerent Saervild Steel-Wind. He accompanies him on his assignment in the ruins of Bogmother. He will first appear while searching for the relics during the quest. He cannot be found in-game following the quest.

He'll appear after collecting the last relic.

Njorlund Steel-Wind: "What are you doing?"

If you speak to him, he'll reiterate that taking the relics will make the dreugh hostile:

"Are you insane? Don't you know what taking those relics will do to the dreugh?"
Your father told me to collect them.
"What? Our orders were protect the reliquaries! Removing the relics is the worst thing you could do. This is a disaster!"
He said you went to collect them, but you never came back.
"Removing the relics will enrage the dreugh! The tree-minders will lose control over them!"
Should I put them back?
"It's not that simple! There's a whole ritual to perform. The tree-minders must first calm the dreugh, and then return the relics to their containers.
But my father knows this. He knows the relics can't be disturbed. This is madness!"
What can we do?
"We must warn the tree-minders! Take the relics to Tree-Minder Raleetal. Her camp is near the ruins. She'll know what to do.
I'll go back to the camp and speak to my father. There must be a logical explanation for this."
I'll go to the tree-minders' camp.

If you speak to him before he leaves, he'll tell you:

"The tree-minders will know what to do. Go, now!"

Once you reach the tree-minders' camp, he'll come running back to you to inform you that his father disappeared as well:

"My father wasn't at our camp!
Wait, where are Tree-Minder Raleetal and others? A tree-minder never leaves a fire untended!"
They were already gone when I arrived.
"Even if Tree-Minder Raleetal was called away, one of the other tree-minders should have stayed to tend the fire.
My father would sooner lose an arm than disobey orders. I smell treachery. I'll wager this is some twisted Dominion plot."
How can I help?
"Give the relics to me. You've done enough damage for one day!
Forgive me. I've no right to blame you. You were only following my father's orders. You can trust me. The relics will be safe with me until we locate Tree-Minder Raleetal and the others."
Where should we look?
"The dreugh may have taken them. They've been driven insane with blood lust.
Dreugh bury their captured prey alive, in piles of hardened mud. We must find them before they suffocate."
I'll search for Tree-Minder Raleetal and the others.
"We should separate to cover more ground. If you find them, bring them back to this camp.
Make haste! Every moment puts them closer to death!"

If you speak to him before searching for the Tree-Minders:

"Search the mud piles. If the dreugh captured the tree-minders, that's where we'll find them."

He is found dead not long after you return from searching the mud piles.
