For History And Harald: Harvesting Hearts From The Woods

Go into the woods, taking a circular rout across the higher ground to the south, and winding around to a cliff ledge overlooking the forests. Beware of wolves attacking as you reach the altar, which is just to the left of the oak tree. Once they are defeated, and five hearts are collected, the ritual can begin.

The hearts are lit using Igni. A watching raven inspects the offering. You look up to see dozens of the birds perched on the oak tree. They start to squark and circle the tree in a spiral to the sky. The woodland spirit is appeased. For now.

Harald’s Way: Appeasing a Legendary Leshen

Return to Fayrlund. Meet Harald at the tree carved totem in the middle of the village. He tells you he saw smoke rise and crows dance in the sky. You can tell Harald that the leshen will return and the killing will continue; that this is only a temporary solution. Harald is angered. You’ve not been paid to lecture him. Then Sven arrives, having killed all the other elders responsible for keeping this ritual alive. He’s ready to slay Harald next. You can:

• Tell Sven you can’t let him kill Harald. You must then fight Sven and his three guards.
• You can stay out of Sven’s business, and let him murder Harald.

Either way, the quest concludes.
