"The Nameless Village" is the longest main quest since "Monster Culling", so let's not waste time. Exit Vernworth via the north exit and head northeast towards the highlighted area on the map. Your biggest potential pitfall is a griffin that likes to hang out in the farms just outside Vernworth. Either run past it or sneakily circumvent it, and continue along your way until you cross your second bridge. You should now be around where the missing freight was in the "Monster Culling" quest.
The path forward into the highlighted quest area is blocked by a landslide. Instead, head slightly to the right of the path as you come off the bridge, where you'll find a campfire. Jump down into the mossy area below, and follow the left path where you'll come to a clearing guarded by a 4-health-bar minotaur.
You can try to fight the minotaur if you like, but it's pretty tough at this early stage of the game. I'd instead recommend you run right past it and climb up the rocks at the back of the clearing, using the "To Me!" button to keep your pawns from tangling with the minotaur. Once you reach the road again, turn right and keep following the road until you reach the titular Nameless Village.
As you enter, you'll meet with Srail, who tries to dissuade you from entering. Look in the house behind him for a chest, then press onward. You'll find an inn up the hill where you can rest if you wish.
Keep going up the hill and you'll enter the Old Noble Manor at the top. Talk to Flaude, who will explain the purpose of the village as a thief-training ground. If you ask him of the false Sovran (which is the whole purpose of this quest), he'll say he knows nothing.
Technically you can go back to Brant at this point, but for the full quest, exit the manor and explore its northwest side for a nearby hole in the ground, with a ladder. Descend the ladder into the Nameless Village Depths, where you're faced with an obstacle course filled with seesaws and swinging boulder-nets.
Be wary of a couple of bats at the start and leapworms on the ground for when you inevitably fall off the seesaws, but otherwise the only challenge is the obstacle course itself. It requires some timing, but otherwise it's pretty straightforward.
Go through the door at the end and you'll meet with the real Thief-Maister, who happens to be Srail - the man you met at the village outskirts. Now that you've proven yourself by completing the obstacle course, he'll see fit to answer your questions properly. So exhaust all his dialogue options, and you'll get some good intelligence to report back to Brant.
Loot the place thoroughly (including the 5 chests in the back room), then head back home to Vernworth either on foot or by Riftstone. Speak to Brant to finish the quest and earn 7,500g, plus a handy Wakestone Shard-finding item called Dragon's Gaze.
