Quest Story
Deep in the heartwood, where the trees grow so thick that moonlight cannot penetrate, something ancient rules. The Forest Alpha is not merely a large wolf — it is a remnant of the old world, a creature born in the age before the war between blood and fang. It has been coordinating the attacks on the outer settlements, and its death would shatter the pack's will. But finding it is only the beginning of your troubles.
The Forest Alpha lies still at last, its massive flanks no longer heaving. In its final moment it looked at you with knowing eyes — eyes that held no hatred, only a terrible recognition. The pack scatters into the deep forest, howling a dirge that echoes for miles. From its body, you claim a relic of the old world.
