I stumbled upon an old, weathered journal with pages that are worn with time. The final entry read "... I've discovered a way to break the curse. No longer will my people have this unknowing threat looming over them. The only thing left to do is find the feathers and shatter the dark enchantment placed on them." The remaining text detailed the process required to destroy five feathers that are scattered around the area. I should attempt to find these feathers and see if they've been dealt with.
