Glaucia

## History

Born and raised in Gale Rocks, Glaucia married a man from Steep House. She moved there to live with him and his family. When Howler's Dell attacked, they were all killed. She escaped to the Hideout in the heart of the forest, along with some other Steep House survivors.

A few days after the attack, her and her band went back to the ruins to collect what they could and burn any corpses so they would not turn into the undead. Strangely, they could not find a single body. Not long after, they made contact with the White Marshes, who had just begun using necromancy to keep their people from starving. Unfortunately it was revealed that the dead they had been using were not just their own. Glaucia recognized her husband and his parents among the White Marsh's undead servants. After this discovery, bandits begun to attack people in the peninsula.

## Current

When the roadwarden gets to the peninsula, Iason expresses worry over the bandits in the area, and wants you to look into it. He also wants to team up with Howler's Dell to overthrow her. After asking the inhabitants of the peninsula, you learn that they are only targeting people of the White Marshes. Thais, the mayor of Howler's Dell, says that as long as she is not targeting them, she has no reason to want Glaucia gone.

When asking about Glaucia in Gale Rocks, you have the opportunity to speak to her parents, who reveal that she was married to a man from Steep House.

Traveling through the heart of the forest, you come across a bandit who is running away from her band. You can give him directions to the cabin you removed the spider from, or to the Pelt of the North. After choosing the former, he leaves food behind for you the next time you are in the cabin. The first time you encounter Glaucia, you can ask her for work and she will ask you to find him. It is clear she intends to have him killed. You can tell her either the Pelt of the North or the Cabin. You can also lie that he is dead. Doing any of these strengthens your rapport.

If you instead warn him to leave the peninsula, then return to Glacia and tell her he's fled, she attacks you and has you leave the hideout, as she knows it was you that told him to.

### Goals

Glaucia wants the necromancer in the White Marshes dead. If you kill him or convince him to stop using necromancy, it strengthens your rapport with her.

She later reveals to you that her next target is Howler's Dell, and in the post credits she often attacks them.

## Missing Merchants

Once you have gained the trust of people in Gale Rocks, you can ask the village headwoman for work. She asks you to look for spice merchants that were supposed to reach Gale Rocks and never did.

At the Fallen Tree on the path, you see a tree that unnaturally fell and a broken wagon next to it. You find an arrow that, upon closer inspection, was made to shoot at humans. Asking Eudocia about it reveals it was made from the same pheasant feathers found in Gale Rocks.

If you present this information to Glaucia, she admits that her band attacked the merchants, but that none were killed. If asked, she will give you the spices that were stolen.

Revealing this to the village headwoman prompts them to plan a trial for Glaucia. If you tell Glaucia about this, she attacks you. She then asks that you make a weak argument so they forgive her. If you do as she says, and they don't agree to trade with Hovlavan, your rapport with Glaucia is strengthened significantly.
