Thornegil believes the passage of the terrible Riders has stirred the creatures of Ruddymore to madness.
'The passage of the terrible riders across Ruddymore has done something to the animals that live here. Beasts that once lived peacefully alongside farms and villages are now driven to madness, attacking folk they never had before. If you wish to help us keep these lands safe, you will help us deal with these creatures that have been newly driven to madness.'
The creatures that live in Ruddymore act with a madness they never have before, and must be dealt with before they do harm to the folk who live nearby.
