Scouts throughout the Ettenmoors discovered saplings shaking in the soil. Cinaid, the corruptor at Gramsfoot bade you investigate these little saplings and bring him a sample.
Cinaid half-hisses as he speaks.
'Words from scouts, something stirs across the Ettenmoors. Little sprigs of trees that shiver and shake in the morning dew. Unlike other saplings, they respond to our presence and the presence of the accursed so-called Free People.
'These saplings are an omen, and I intended to decipher what their presence means.
'I charge you to collect a specimen for me. Deliver it here, and we will study it together.
'MordÃrith's grace be with you.'
Find a sapling described by Cinaid, rip it out of the ground, and deliver it to Cinaid at Gramsfoot.
It squealed or squeaked. You heard it. One more hefty pull ought to do. Get to it!
You delivered the stubborn little sapling to the Corruptor Cinaid. Time to find out what this little creature might really be.
