This is a side quest that you start in Tenel. Go to the Village Elder's house found at the base of the steps leading to the church and town hall. Talk to the Elder and you should receive Cyphertext 1. To complete this side quest, you will have to solve the puzzle on each Cyphertext in order to find the location of the next.
The solutions are as follows:
Cypertext 1
Sdnuorg eht ot og s'tel ereh si sucric eht
Read it Backwards. Go to the circus grounds in Tenel Forest and speak to the man there.
Cyphertext 2
