There are three buildings that you can search for clues for this quest—but watch out for Great Heaven soldiers. Only the building on the left contains a clue.

After finding the letter, you need to make your way beneath the well. To do so, head to the point marked by the yellow star. There are several Greater Heaven soldiers in this area, so either stealth around the more eliminate them. At the end of the well, you find the missing child's body with a note.

The note details that the Great Heaven were pouring a chemical, Communion, into the river. This is the cause of the poison and illness affecting the people, and his body is the source of the smell. Leave the well and make your way up the river bank.
