New Beastmasters report to Captain Relgen Greenblade at Ranger’s Rest, who sends them to Aerin Mossfang in the Quiet Den to bond with an animal companion, hunt alongside it, and prove themselves against a wolf sickness spreading through the Weald. The chain continues through hunts against diseased wolves, an orc named Vorkuul Blighteye, and a poacher stalking Keeper’s Bight, ending with the Shroud of the Ardent Keeper.
