Description
This is the closest I've been to a dead body, how exciting! What do you think murdered him? Regardless, it is my duty to ensure the safety of individuals under my employ. With a combination of my wit and bravery, and your practical skills, we should be able to track it down. This will be a tale for the ages! Let's start with looking around the camp, see if you can find any clues.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Hunt for Hawk Eggs
Before Alanna sends us on our grand hunt, there is something more immediate demanding our attention... I'm absolutely famished! No good man can hunt on an empty stomach. There are hawks in the area, which means that there are also hawk eggs.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Westward Noble
While I am loath to involve you in this further, I don't have the men to afford an escort for Lord Kennings. If he gets hurt, we'll all be out of a job. Can you make sure he at least made it to the west camp?
