==== Whispering Woods ====
When Merlin, Lorsan, and Valen dock at the harbor on the outskirts of the Dark Forest, they're met by Korin, who instructs them to leave immediately since they have a ship and asks that they take a few of the refugees along with them if they can. After seeing Lorsan, Korin confronts him regarding the recently issued exclusion edict which has forced refugees to leave the Dark Forest, demanding that the Wilders consider the state of the weak and elderly. This snowballs into a physical fight between the party and Korin before he realizes that they genuinely don't know anything about the edict, and Lorsan offers to help the group out.
Leaving Valen behind to take care of and protect the refugees, Korin joins the party to enter the forest. He notes that the gruglins in the area have been much more violent as of late. Lorsan suggests a connection between the crops absorbing magic in Holistone and the sudden aggression, as well as explaining the corruption phenomena within the forest. He leads the party to an example of a corrupted root. Korin takes care of Hammie when she tries to detect the corrupted magic.
After Merlin clears the corrupted magic, another Windwhisperer, Bryon, appears and thanks them for the service. After a brief conversation between Lorsan, Bryon, and Merlin, Bryon invites Korin to join them in meeting up with Captain Lyca of the Dusk Patrollers to learn more about the exclusion edict and the refugees' situation. As they travel, they come across a human camp with some notes regarding the Dusk Patrollers' patrol schedules and routes. After being confronted by human brigands, Lyca enters the combat and lends the party her assistance. The party learns of her familial connection to Lorsan as his older sister. After the fight, she promptly lectures Lorsan regarding his absence and lack of communication for the past few years.
Lyca introduces herself, and Korin interrupts the niceties, asking if she's the captain of the Dusk Patrollers and if she's aware that bandits are intentionally causing rifts between Wilders and the refugees. Lyca apologizes, saying that she's aware of the bandits, and that the Thorned Faction have always been more conservative in regards to outsiders and it has only worsened due to rumors of humans bringing in corrupted seeds, beginning to affect the Dusk and Wind Factions' views of them as well. Bryon suggests taking Merlin to Lunadorf to assist in the situation with the corrupted roots. Before heading to Lunadorf, Lorsan guides the party to show Merlin the Lucent Tree ("It's said that this is a divine tree planted by the Goddess of the Earth and Rivers, Misarte herself." -Lyca, in regards to the Lucent Tree), and Lyca instructs a passing Dusk Patrollers Camp to distribute supplies to the refugees.
==== Strange Situation ====
On their way to Lundadorf, the party come across a shabby tent and Korin mentions that him protecting the refugees just coincidentally happened, as his main goal in the Dark Forest is to locate someone. After hearing cries for help, the party goes to investigate, and find that Thorned Guards are blaming some refugees for the kidnapping of a child, Damian. Eironn confronts the guards to protect the refugees, joining up with the main party in the confrontation. As Lorsan is surprised by Eironn's presence, Lyca explains that he came back from his worldly travels a few days before Lorsan did in order to help try and lift the exclusion edict.
While Eironn, Lyca, Lorsan, and Merlin talk, Korin tends to and asks questions of the refugees they rescued. The party learns that the missing boy, Damian, is who Korin is looking for in the Dark Forest. With Lyca sending a message for the Dusk Patrollers to take care of the refugees and prevent any more trouble with the Thorned Guard, the party set out to find Damian within the Bizarre Labyrinth and find the boy surrounded by hostile Glimmerblooms. In the fight, Korin took a hit, rendering his prosthetic arms immobile, and Damien promises to make a set for him in thanks for saving his life. The party learn that Damian was chased off by a group of Thorned Guards and make the connection that the guards had intended to blame the refugees for his disappearance. Leaving the Labyrinth, the party continue their journey to Lunadorf.
