Quest-Related Events

If you didn't start the quest at the Spinner's Cottage with Spinner Maruin, you'll instead find the Guardian at Greenheart, and he'll quickly apprise you of Greenshade's goings-on.

"The Wilderking's reign draws to an end. The forest spirits have gone mad, even my own brethren … and he is powerless to stop them.
Intruders enter Greenheart—dark and conflicted souls—they are the harbingers of the Wilderking's death."

Is there any way I can help him?

"I fear it is too late. Once events have progressed to this point, there remains little chance of reversing the process
Confronting the intruders would be beneficial, but even now, they blaze a trail of destruction toward the Wilderking's throne."

Who are these intruders?

"The woman Aranias and her companion Andur, the one who burns everything in his path.
I am not sure which is more dangerous, but they must both be stopped if the Wilderking is to be saved. Cross the bridge and follow the trail of fire. Go quickly."

I will find them and stop them.

He will issue you another warning, and you'll be able to converse with him a bit more.

"Be wary. The Wilderking's influence ebbs, even here in Greenheart.
The spirits of the forest are confused and angry—even my brethren—they will attack you with no provocation."

Where did you come from?

"I am one of the Hollow. I do not know where we came from, but we are assigned to protect different parts of Valenwood.
I am assigned to protect Greenheart, to ensure none can reach the throne of the Wilderking without his invitation."

If your brethren here have turned hostile, why haven't you?

"I do not know. The Wilderking send me here—to the entrance of Greenheart. I assumed it was to warn people away, but it may have been that he wanted me to greet you.
Perhaps he placed protections on me to ensure I fulfilled his wishes."

It sounds like you've failed in your duty.

"We have not waivered in our duty. Any who came here uninvited were turned away.
Strangely, the intruders who now seek to harm the Wilderking … he said they were invited.. [sic] You are invited too. The other Hollow only attack because they are confused."
