What Empire Wants

The letter sent from Desalion to the Empire forces is quite succinct: "Alexis, When you arrive in Avelorn, do not hesitate to move swiftly into the forest. I keep my camp ever-moving now so we can be better able to strike at our foes with the element of surprise. Do not attempt to find us; we shall find you." While the High Elves can move through the forest without disturbing the earth, the Empire soldiers do not. It appears the Empire left a trail for you to follow. If these are the only allies your cousins can call upon, there is little reason to fear defeat.

Find and defeat the leaders of the enemy forces, Alexis Koertig and Desalion Fallingleaf, who have agreed to meet in a clearing to the northwest. Return to Cartheia Soulbane in Burnwood when they are defeated.
