Rumor! A River Haunting
Now that trappers, hunters and merchants have started returning to Olegs the place is much more lively on any given day. One day as you have breakfast at Olegs you overhear two such individuals talking about old Rumors surrounding the Stolen Lands.
"A shame that the bridge across the Shrike isn't there anymore... I'd have liked to cross into the Noman heights for some Winter Fox Fur".
"Aye, its a shame but not compared to what happened to the Knettles... those damn Bandits! Plagues even back then!"
"Ur right there... you know, they say that old David Knettles still stalks that burnt out bridge looking for hapless travelers to pay his toll... or dragging them to the depths...".
"You wont be frightening me with old wives tales you wont, David is with his family in the after world to be sure"!
The Rumor: David Knettles still haunts his bridge to the southeast along the Shrike River looking for hapless travelers to pay his tolls...

"Svetlana is a tough old girl so she says its nothing to worry about... but I still remember the look in her eyes when I first gave it to her... I know losing it hurts her deeply".

Jhod, a priest of Erastil has come to the Stolen Lands in hopes of finding a lost Temple to The God of the Hunt. Though he doesnt seem to know much about the prize he seeks he has told you that in his visions he has seen a thick overgrowth covering the temple and that that surrounding birch and willow trees lead him to believe that the temple is deep in the woods... being somewhat of a coward he has asked you, the strong adventurers with you charters from Restov to be his eyes into the Stolen Lands and help him find this Temple of the Elk.
**You'v discovered that The Temple of the Elk does exist and it's location from your strange Faerie Allies.You'v also learned that the Temple and the territory around it is guarded over by some formidable bear... Jhod informs you of a Legend in which a High Priest of Erastil, who's name is long lost to history, began sacrificing animals and humans alike to appease his God. Erastil looked down in a rage at the sacrilege committed in His name and so cursed the High Priest in the Tainted Waters of his Temple to live forever as the savage beast he had become on the inside... and so the Legend says that the High Priest stalks the land as a predatory bear, forever guarding his corrupted Temple... Atleast thats what the Legends say... **
The Task: Locate the Temple of the Elk and then escort Jhod there once its safe.
The Reward: Jhod offers his eternal gratitude and friendship if you can help him find what has been lost! Whoever complained about having a spell caster a friend huh?
