Walkthrough
Speaking with Grundir
This happens automatically via a cutscene that triggers after the previous quest completes. Grundir, the Dean of Scholastone Institute, discusses the encounter with the otherworldly being in the Abyss. He becomes convinced that the rift-maker is the catalyst behind the crisis and urges caution going forward.
Returning to Howling Hill
After the cutscene, you need to travel back to Howling Hill (the Greymane camp). The fastest method is to open the sky map (R3), fast travel to the Abyss marker, and skydive down to the camp location.
Chapter Conclusion
Enter the black main tent at Howling Hill. A final cutscene plays, concluding Chapter 4. The Greymanes now have a deeper understanding of the Abyss and its dangers. The group discusses their next move as political tensions continue to build.
Reward
You receive 10x Honey Tea, a consumable food item that restores health. Keep these for tough fights in the chapters ahead.

Tips
Use the sky map fast travel (R3) to skydive back to Howling Hill. Riding a horse from Scholastone takes much longer.
The Honey Tea reward stacks with other food items. Use them alongside your standard healing supplies.
Before starting Chapter 5, consider revisiting any uncompleted side quests or faction quests in the Hernand region.
