While fishing on the banks of a broad lake far south of the Main Hall, you encounter a band of men rowing their boat toward you; their leader hails you and says his kingdom is in desperate need of the services of a great adventurer like yourself. You decide to join their party and travel back across the lake with them to their kingdom which lies near the foot of Mount Eilaak, a high peak visible in the distance.
When you arrive you're met by King Argas who describes the problem: the kingdom's animals have inexplicably gone berserk, attacking and killing people on sight, and the wizard who was seeking a solution — Master Wrenhold — has lost his life-orb and now lies near death. The king promises you gold and a rare Elven weapon in exchange for your help in finding a solution. You're escorted to the base of Mount Eilaak to begin your investigation.
