The temple ruins
Travel to the temple ruins and fight your way through the monsters there until you reach the creature called the Shade Lord. Kill the Shade Lord, then go back to the mayor and let him know you have solved the mystery behind the murders.

Tips & Warnings
Once you have acquired your stronghold, the people of the Umar Hills will occasionally approach the party to have you take care of new problems in the area. Be sure to take care of those issues quickly, or you will lose your stronghold as the people lose their faith in you.
If you speak with some of the children in the village in the Umar Hills, they will ask the party to purchase weapons and alcohol for them. Be sure to refuse the children, or you will lose your stronghold, as the people of the village will no longer trust you.
