“There’s been no deliveries from Iris Hamlet in a month. I’m worried something has happened to them.”
Iris Hamlet, tucked into the Cinderwoods, grows herbs and medicinal plants found nowhere else nearby — and its deliveries have stopped entirely. The tavern keep at Iris Tavern wants someone to find out why, and bring back word.
Where to start
Iris Tavern in Malachite’s Old District. Head for the hunter’s outpost at the edge of the Cinderwoods, where the wood elf Darryl is stationed — he’ll guide you to the hamlet from there.
Hooks
- Darryl has recently spotted a strange, thin, dark humanoid figure near the hamlet — he’s clearly rattled by it
- Oscar Iris, who commissions the job, has personal stakes: his brother William was sent to govern the hamlet and prove himself
- The hamlet is known to hold relics connected to Savras — worth knowing if you have any ties to that faith
- Returning to Malachite afterward may not be as simple as walking back through the gate
