'Something has stirred to madness the spirits of Tyrn Gorthad, and it is not safe for travellers to come this way. No, do not misunderstand me: these hills have not been truly safe for hundreds and hundreds of years. But I deem you are an adventurer, and can handle yourself.

'Still, these are spirits fell and terrible. Sometimes they move through the grass and rustle the branches of the bare trees, and then you know they are there. Other times they house themselves in the body of a corpse, and become the animate Dead. Whichever form they take, they are dangerous, and must be ended by those of us brave enough, or foolish enough, to take the chance. If you are either of these two... I wish you luck.'

Ranger Faradan is south-west of Calarphel in Tyrn Gorthad.
