Thorns

Her name is Claesen. She fled from the field of battle, contemplating a bargain with the darkness in exchange for power. We should grant her such a bargain. In exchange, of course, for her tactical knowledge, and whatever else our Dark God might will ... Unfortunately I know not where the vulnerable commander fled to. I do however know one who might know, Stefal Scornblade. Stefal is a thorn in my side. I loathe the need to solicit her help, but it would seem we have no choice. Indeed the Great Manipulator is not without his cruel humors ... Ask of Scornblade that which I shall not. Do this and I will reward you with bauble for your trouble.

Make your way southwest along the road to where Stefal Scornblade waits outside the city, and ask about the vulnerable commander known as Claesen.
