The village is sadly quiet today. Usually, our best storyteller spins fantastic tales, but no one can find him anywhere.<BR><BR>Have you heard of Porun? If he's run off, perhaps something's wrong. The town would be grateful if you'd look for him.<BR><BR>Sometimes, he heads to Crossroads Camp. You might look there. Nature's song is strong here. They say all life emerged from Blessing Basin and if you're very quiet, you can almost hear Shara dreaming.<BR><BR>Of course, in town, it doesn't matter if you're quiet. Those damned tourists are everywhere. I'm trying to solve a mystery but the dangers in these woods are mightier than my quill.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"Can I help?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> If I could just understand this region more, I feel certain my muse would return. I found an old tombstone once. It had a message on it, but I didn't take the time to read it.<BR><BR>If you were to find that message, then follow it until you learn the secret, it might unlock the inspiration I need.<BR><BR>Speak with {@LinkCreature:226#1006#Narden}. He'll know where the tombstone is. Porun's unable to tell a tale? A pity. So what do you seek?<BR><BR>Ah, I believe he's describing the {@LinkCreature:226#1018#Forest Keeper's Tombstone}. I don't know that he'll gain much from it, however. You're welcome to see for yourself. (A careful inscription reads "Truth only reveals itself when one gives up all preconceived ideas.") Did you find it? What did it say? Oh, my tail is tingling!<BR><BR>Interesting! That stone stood for years until you made the trip to see it. That's tragic and beautiful, all at once. I think I feel a tale coming on!<BR><BR>Thank you, <PCNAME>. You've relit the fire in my soul. I'll put that fire back into words.
