The Autumnvale questline is of course a reference to cult classic movie The Wicker Man, along with its narmy 2006 remake (complete with "Not the bees!" meme).
[npc=127080] is a reference to Lord Summerisle, the main antagonist in the original movie, splendidly portrayed by Christopher Lee.
[npc=126965] is a reference to Neil Howe, the main character in the original movie portrayed by Edward Woodward.
[npc=126979] is a reference to Edward Malus, the main character in the remake, portrayed by Nicolas Cage.

What to do
Description
Hail, traveler! You look like just the sort who might be able to help me out with a predicament! It's my son Edwin, you see. We were travelling through Drustvar to ply our wares when the damned fool ran off to join some cult here in Autumnvale! Since then we haven't seen a trace of him, and the brown-robed loons won't speak a word of his whereabouts! Could you see if you could persuade them to talk? His poor mother is worried sick!
