I wondered where they were going to put the Nic Cage reference in this zone. Well, the best one from the movie, anyway.
Not the bees! Nooooo!
They're in my eyes! My eyes!
He's inside a cave. Just pass the master pet tamer on your right. After finding Edwin you fight off two waves of bees.

What to do
Description
The one called Edwin came to us not long ago, seeking to earn the blessings of the Wicker Man. He wandered off into the hills looking for his own offering. Unfortunately, he managed to disturb one of the nearby beehives, causing the insects to become rather frenzied. That was the last I saw of him, I'm afraid.

So the traders sent you? As I told them, I only discuss the happenings of our family with those who understand our cause. If you wish to know his whereabouts, you must prove that you do. Behind us are several items gathered for offering to the Wicker Man.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Simple Sacrifice
You must hurry! Lord Autumnvale brought Edwin off to that cave right when he returned, saying something about "an offering of blood!" I think they mean to sacrifice him to appease the Wicker Man! Just what kind of crazy cult is this?!
