A Boggy Stir

I received a message from the Great Mage Aidenus himself. Here, let me read it to you. Alright... No, we'll skip that... This too... Huh! Even the men in our taverns don't use that kind of language! Ugh... How about I just paraphrase?

Aidenus is not pleased with what has been going on here. The White Knight has declared himself a descendant of Valir, an ancient Kanian king, and is making a grab for the throne. White Knight is apparently gaining popularity with the peasants and Aidenus is blaming us! He thinks we're just slacking off instead of bathing our swords in blood!

Such hurtful words! The White Knight went on an expedition to hunt swamp Muskirs in the bog recently. As if it's something heroic. His herald nearly went hoarse singing his praises for an entire week. And to tell you the truth, the Muskirs are still on a rampage. And now the Treants have decided to join them - all because of the Knight's stupid invasion. So instead of repelling new attacks by the White Knight, we have to clean up after him! Here's what I want you do to - kill four angry Treants and their leader, Timberbraid. He's the oldest and meanest Treant in the swamp. Then things will quiet down in the bog.

Don't think of Timberbraid as old and decrepit. He's a mighty and dangerous opponent that has lived in the bog for hundreds of years.

The treants have quieted down? That's good news! And here is your well-deserved reward. But there's still so much to do, so don't wander off.
