Newbie Guide:
Oh, hello! Have you completed your mission for Tetrarch Thifiell yet? It is very important that you complete this task.
You should also see Blacksmith Karrod located at the western entrance of the village. I heard a rumor that he is recruiting volunteers for an Orc Subjugation quest, which you must complete before you can hunt Orcs.
And, make sure to visit Blacksmith Karrod. I suspect he has troubles that need to be dealt with. I'm sure that if you aid him, he'll be most generous.
Look up Trader Minaless as well. She is looking for a supply of zombie dust, and by dealing with her you can increase the profit from hunting marsh zombies.
