Description
Stage 1

'This land was the site of many battles in the past. Some say the swamp takes its name from the blood of fallen Men that stains the earth red. But my knowledge of the swamp's history is limited.

'I do know of a Man named Aric, a wise Man of the Eglain, though only by reputation. He is a Stone-speaker, a scholar who studies the stones and collects knowledge from their markings. Aric knows much of the local lore.

'Travel to him and ask for his help. He currently dwells south of here, beyond Talath Gaun, down in Harloeg. He may provide us with the knowledge we seek.'

Aric is south of Ost Guruth, beyond Talath Gaun, down in Harloeg.

Radagast spoke of a Man named Aric the Stone-speaker. Aric may be able to tell you the history of the Red Swamp.
