After landing in Raven Rock, a Dark Elf - Adril Arano - shall approach you. You will learn that he's the deputy of the local lord named Morvayn. You will come across both of them quite often - they're moderately positive characters, so try not to get in their way.
During the conversation with Adril you will be able to choose one of three dialogue options - the choice however doesn't matter here. If you want to, ask the man about the area - if you ask about Miraak, you should get an indirect answer about a certain "shrine" (see: Investigate the Shrine). He won't give you any more useful information - unless of course you're interested in the political situation of Morrowind or Solstheim.
The shrine mentioned by Adril is in fact an Earth Stone located on a small promontory south of the city. Go there and you should come across and old dunmer - Neloth. He will tell you that the man you are looking for - Miraak - is dead for quite some time. Ask him about what's going on in the temple to learn that most of the villagers have been possessed by a mysterious power which orders them to build monuments like that. The old building known as the Temple of Miraak might give you a clue. You should head there right now (see: Reach the Temple of Miraak).
