The White March Part II

Angry and more than a little drunk, a Stalwart villager by the name of Kern managed to inadvertently hire a Bleak Walker paladin to resolve a long-standing feud. The matter has now escalated beyond his control.

I met a dwarf named Kern in the Gréf's Rest. He begged me to find and stop Cevestin, a Bleak Walker paladin, before he can harm Haddi and his family. Haddi's house can be found to the east of Stalwart in Whitestone Hollow, close to a trade road.

Objectives

  1. Travel to Haddi's house.
  2. Search the house.
  3. Find Eska.
  4. Confront the paladins.
  5. Check up on Haddi.
  6. Return to Kern.
