Lore & Dialog
Talking to Branwyn: Branwyn tells you, "Please, bold one! Would you help me find my husband Geowulf the Stonehearted? It has been weeks since he left and I am worried something awful may have happened to him!" Branwyn tells you, "I am sorry. I should know to behave better in front of those who would help me." Branwyn tells you, "One morning, Geowulf and I had an argument, over some silly little thing now that I think upon it. He wanted to move closer to Glenden Wood to be near his ailing father. I love Geowulf's father dearly, but Arwic has been so profitable for my small floral business that I couldn't fathom leaving. I suppose I could commute, but at the time the thought didn't even enter my mind." Branwyn sniffles slightly and sounds as if she is on the verge of breaking into tears once again. Branwyn tells you, "We... we fought, and he grew angry and left. On his way he took his hiking pack and canteen and I have not seen him since." Branwyn tells you, "He would at times hike along the western reach he's of the Lost Wish range, and he always made certain to stop along the northern coast to take in the ocean view. I couldn't stand the hike, but I would often meet him at the Haliana settlement and we would walk the beach together." Branwyn fights back another surge of tears and continues with her story. Branwyn tells you, "I ... just I... oh Geowulf!" Branwyn tells you, "Please find my husband! Start your search along the northern coast near that settlement I told you of. Please find him, bring me good news of my beloved!"
