Description:
When triggering Vontus the quest npc he runs directly south which is backed up by the journal. The body is found in Saveri which is southeast of Vhul and is actually more east than south - 2 cells south 3 east. The quest npc should either be moved to die in a straight line south or he should run in the correct direction as I ran south for 10 mins with Boots of Blinding speed, way into the preview content without finding him, gave up and googled it.

There are three in-game clues
There are three in-game clues to follow:
-Journal points you southward, while noting that he was screaming in pain as he ran; this indicates that it's not actually a race.
-Nearby NPCs can be asked about him, and will point toward his "destination."
-He leaves a trail of discarded clothing along his path.
I do recall taking a bit to find his trail, though.
I'm going to adjust the
I'm going to adjust the placement of the clue items a bit, but the actual problem pointed out in this quest is not a problem. Vontus heads down the road, and all the player needs is a nudge to know to stay on it until they get to Saveri.
