'There have always been spiders in the North Trollshaws, but in recent days their number has multiplied, and the creatures have been spotted far afield. Barachen sent Thoroniel to investigate, and she has sent word that the situation is more grave than we had expected.
'You should travel north into the wild lands of the North Trollshaws to aid Thoroniel. Spiders are evil creatures that threaten to overwhelm good people wherever they are found.
'Thoroniel described a particularly large spider-lair, the Wovenvales, in the north-west corner of the North Trollshaws. You are certain to find her just south of the Wovenvales. Bring allies with you, for the situation sounds most grim. If you take the road east to the marker-stone, you can reach the Wovenvales by heading north off the road and making your way into the wild.'
