Not getting next main quest in Rivenspire
I complete the first main quest in Rivenspire "Shornhelm Divided". At the end I talked to King Emeric but he did not give me the next quest "The Blood-Splattered Shield". I also went to Ravenwatch Castle and talked to the Count but he didn't give me any quest either. Is there something I'm missing or is this a bug?

Are you able to receive the quest by opening the map, selecting the zone objectives and then choosing "Continue story"?

If you also have the quest "A Dragon Inquiry" (or similar) active, the Rivenspire questline won't continue at this point. Known issue. Drop "A Dragon Inquiry" (you can take it again latter), then talk to King Emeric.

Yes even when I click continue story in the zone objective, it prompts me to go to King Emeric but when I talk to him nothing happens.

What do you mean by similar active quest? Cause I have lots of active quests

I meant that the quest might have a different (but similar) name. I wasn't in the game and didn't have time to look it up when I wrote that. ;)

Checked it now, the correct name is: "The Ravenwatch Inquiry". I partially mixed it up with another prologue quest. Sorry for the confusion. ;)

Sometimes accepting a DLC quest, or a new chapter quest can halt the main location quest. There's one where if you accept the Abnar Tharn "The Demon Weapon" quest it stops the main Mage's Guild questline dead unless you abandon it.

From what I can gather the new Greymoor starter quest "The Ravenwatch Enquiry" does exactly the same thing for the Rivenspire questline. So go into your active quests (usually it's J). If you have the Ravenwatch Enquiry listed, abandon it. The plot should then progress. If it doesn't call up your map, click on "zone" on the left hand side and then click on "continue main story" in the bottom middle.

Yes, I got it slightly wrong, It's the main quest the Demon Weapon stops. As soon as you abandon it a banekin appears and you're off again.
