You show great wisdom. To serve the Peacemantle is to serve all of the races of Alganon and my charge is dire. Haggon Marsh is home to all manner of beasts and demons some of which you may already be familiar. Just to the south is the Skarg Hexlar. For ages the Thornback skitter have inhabited the Hive and it has grown to hold many of their kind. These creatures are generally docile if they are not cornered but my scouts report that they have become increasingly aggressive. I fear that the Thornback may have been touched by the Rift and the contamination will spread among the Hexlar. You will learn more of this evil as you serve the Peacemantle in good faith but for now retrieve the heads of the most aggressive skitter in the Hexlar. Look for the faint glow around the head and you will know that the creature has been branded by the Rift.
