Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'Just over the ridge north of this fort is a bog where the creatures seem different than they were a month or two ago. Something is affecting this swamp, and I suspect it has to do with an old cave around there -- the Wódscrafen.

'This cave has always been empty and quiet, but felt like a hallowed ground from before my time. I worry something wicked is happening in there, so I sent one of my men out to investigate, but he has not returned.

'Will you look for him, <name>?'

Background
