'There is a man you should speak with. He is named Aric, but we also call him the Stone-speaker. He is a wise man of the Eglain. He is currently keeping vigil at a place inhabited by the cursed shades of Men. You may find much to learn from Aric and the dead men of Harloeg.

'Find Aric by travelling south across the Great East Road and beyond Talath Gaun. Venture into Harloeg, as far south into the swamp as you can journey, and you will discover the Stone-speaker in the ancient ruins there.

'The shades there are not like the old wives' tales you might hear of ghosts...they seem to have no ill intent.'
