Skinning the Forest's Heart

Gabrius requires a final ingredient for his spell to breach an ancient temple. He has tasked me to enter the Mistywood, northeast of Haywind, and look for a magical clearing home to a sacred tree spirit - the Forest's Heart.

In the meantime, Gabrius will make his way to the Temple of Etherlight to prepare his spell.

There can be no mistake, the clearing I discovered in northwestern Mistywood can be none other than the Forest's Heart. Now for the distasteful task...

I must acquire bark from the tree spirit that grows here, and I have a feeling the spirit won't part with it willingly.

I have felled the old tree spirit... now I must claim its magical bark and bring it to Gabrius.

He will be waiting for me at the ruins of the Temple of Etherlight, hidden atop a hill, somewhere at the heart of Mistwood. I'm aware it should not be far removed from the village of Fog's Dwindling.

Druids would shake in their boots if they knew of my crime here.
