Search for Freythorn above the Hunting Grounds, beyond the Graveyard.
Area: Hunting GroundsNPC: Finn Ominous Altars: So... I was right to be worried. They're still making these damned altars. And this one's bigger. Something's wrong, hero. Something's definitely off. I thought I was imagining the whispers in the shadows at night up there. Thought I was just spooked by the cultists... But maybe not. Please... Check in on the enclave. I'm gonna get while the getting's good.Finn Ominous Altars: I've a grand quest for you, hero. The kind that'll get you woven into legend. It's not at all a minor personal matter that you might ignore. How do I explain this? Before this dreary place, you could say I was something of a, uh... wanderer. There's a clanless enclave known as The Freythorn that makes its home high in the trees near the Hunting Grounds.They helped me out a time or two over the years. A little while back, a group of strangers arrived out of the deep woods. They made strange altars, and started whispering to the others about their 'religion'. That was when I decided to move on. See, now I got to thinking. If Count Geonor and his men are mad enough to burn the village, then maybe the clanless are in trouble, too. Will you pay them a visit? I used to be mildly fond of a fair few of them.Finn Ominous Altars: I've a grand quest for you, hero. The kind that'll get you woven into legend.

His father refused to acknowledge him, so he was left clanless at an early age.
Underneath that boastful exterior, there's just—well, I'm sure it's obvious, even to strangers. His mother was a kind and honest woman. Shame he doesn't take after her.Renly Twisted Animals: A curse has befallen this land. That's what Una feels. That's what I say, too. The beasts of Ogham have been friendly to men until a shadow started oozing out of the Manor.
These rabid and misshapen animals are not to blame. They've been driven mad by something we can't see, only feel in our bones. Last time I felt something like this, I was a much younger man...Una The Lost Lute: I don't know how to ask this of you... but I was forced to leave behind something of great importance to me when I fled—my lute. It was carved by my mother, when she first taught me to sing. It's in my... family home... in the farmlands... if you happen to travel near those ways, it would mean the world to me if you could look for it.Una The Lost Lute: I don't know how to ask this of you... but I was forced to leave behind something of great importance to me when I fled—my lute.

Area: Clearfell EncampmentNPC: Finn The King in the Mists: So, the cultists really did have a king lurking out there in the shadows. Shame. I might have followed him myself if he'd simply promised decent meals instead. Thank you, hero. It's not the result I was hoping for, but at least I know the truth. Clearfell's all I have left now. If I was a drinking man, it'd be a sobering thought.Finn The King in the Mists: So, the cultists really did have a king lurking out there in the shadows. Shame.
