The uriashi left a few glyphs in the places they considered important. While travelling in the mountains, I should be on the lookout for those.

And it's where the murderer from Tavr Clan has supposedly gone.Find the one-horned murderer - I was able to find the sacred pond. But where is the uriashi murderer?Defeat the one-horned murderer - He tried to ambush me, but I was prepared. Time to end this.

While in the mountains, I found an uriashi path leading towards one of their sacred places. Maybe I should make the climb?

Objectives:

• Follow the windchimes - Nothing to it but to follow the windchimes and make the climb - who knows what I'll find at the top?
• Defeat the bear - As they always say - when in the mountains, be wary of bears. Well, now I know exactly why.
• Explore the top of the hill - The trail seems to be leading to the very top of the hill. I wonder what I'll find there.

When I got to destroying the blood barrels, I certainly didn't expect to find a man hiding inside one of them. He wanted to join the manumits and I tried to talk him out of it - we don't need more people throwing their lives away like that.

When I got to destroying the blood barrels, I certainly didn't expect to find a man hiding inside one of them. He wanted to join the manumits - a dream he will never fulfil because I killed him.

Turns out Premysl was behind it all – he stole the banner to spite the vrakhiri. He had noble intents, no doubt... But was he right to act on them?

I fulfilled Ursula's dying wish and returned the statuette to Father Florin, back at Laslea Church... Only to hear he will destroy it, in accordance with the vrakhiri laws.

I noticed a tower nearby. Maybe I'll spot something worthwhile from the top.

• Climb to the top of the tower - I've reached the tower. Now - how to get to the top?
• Scout the area from the vantage point - What a view... Now, let's take a closer look.

Ending:

Suspicious lights started to appear in the forest ahead of me, marking mushroom fairy rings, as if they meant to guide me somewhere.

I have a feeling something bad has happened in the woods by the peat bogs. Maybe I should take a closer look?

I found a few of Brencis's men – dead, but by whose hand, I have no idea. I reported it to Zdislav, lest it's pinned on our village.

I found a wolves's den - and there's a body inside it...

Objectives:

• Investigate the body - There's a body inside the den. Might be worth a look...
• Inspect the flat rock marked with X (1T) - I found the spot marked by the rock - I could check if something is indeed buried underneath.

How to Start: Speak to your siblings during the "Withering Away" main quest, and agree to help them.

Description: Dad told Yanna and the kids to go catch some trout. Maybe I should help them out? Yanna hates baiting the hooks.

• Bait the hooks with worms - Before we can start fishing, I need to bait the hooks.

Fishing can be a calming experience – but not this time. We were accosted by Brencis's men – and it could've ended badly, were it not for the uriash who led them. Funny, I thought they were mindless beasts...

How to start: Approach the Vasil.

Vasil is picking on me again. I've just about had it.

• Catch Vasil - I've got to catch Vasil and tell him to piss off.
• Defeat Atanas - Atanas doesn't take no for an answer! I need to defend myself.

Now I know why Vasil acts the way he does – it's the fault of his father, Atanas... Who was likely abused by his own father, and so it goes, generations back.

Mert was caught by the soldiers and taken to Stoneward Post for questioning. I need to speak with him, maybe help him get out of there... But it won't be easy. The place is heavily guarded.

Objectives:

• Get the key to Mert's cell - It's disgusting what they did to poor Mert. I should at least try to free him from that damn cell, but I must find a way to get the keys to the cells. The overseer should have them.

I tried, but in the end I failed to save Mert. May he rest in peace.

I was too late to save the miller. May his soul rest in peace.

I was not able to finish rescuing Mert as other things took priority.

I stand ready to join the manumits. Their leader will likely assign me some tasks before we can fight Brencis together.

Objectives:

• Raise your notoriety to Notorious or higher - Crake deemed that I haven't done enough to be trusted. I must prove myself further against Brencis before he allows me to join the manumit ranks.
