The Lance of Lothern

Ash clouds hover over the land like a shroud... I cannot tell day from night any longer... My only hope is that I lay eyes upon my love one last time, but I fear my abduction was a ploy to draw him here. These mad cultists claim to have had a vision. They believe that the magical lance my Lord Rilhalr carries is the vessel of a Daemon, and they want to capture it and bind it to their will! Can it be true? Has my love Rilhalr been carrying a cursed lance for all these years? Has a terrible Daemon slept within it, waiting to be unleashed? Is it the curse of the spear that has brought me this ill forture, and will it spell his doom as well? They come for me! They say that their sentries have spotted Rilhalr approaching from the south, and they mean to ambush him! I pray to Asuryan that he will grant my one true love the strength to slay all of these black-hearted men!

The journal indicated that Rilhalr was ambushed to the south of the camp. Travel south to the hills just north of the Dwarf town Palik Watch. Search for evidence of the fate of Rilhalr Strongmark and recover his lance, if you can.
