I found a huge tree with several people hanging from it. A note on one of the bodies told me to find Elder Yaxley. Whatever this is happening at this tree, we need to put a stop to it.

| 1 | Speak to {Npc}. | Speak to {Npc}. | The Strange Man Npc | I tried to speak with the stranger who is walking near the tree. He just keeps ignoring me. | |
| 2 | Speak to {Npc} about the note. | Speak to {Npc} about the note. | Farnworth Elder | Elder Yaxley seemed shocked by the news of the hangings but didn’t want to draw attention to the situation. He asked me to investigate discreetly. If this stops more people from being sent to that tree, I’ll do what I can. | |
| 3.1 | Speak to {Npc}. (Optional) | Speak to {Npc}. | Farnworth Merchant | Anna said that villagers claim to hear screams near it at night, and some even report seeing dark figures around it. Whatever’s happening there, the locals seem too scared to investigate. | |
| 3.2 | Speak to {Npc}. (Optional) | Speak to {Npc}. | Farnworth Carpenter | Tomas mentioned that a barracks of brigands recently vanished without a trace. Many assumed they deserted their post, but none of them have been seen since. | |
| 3.3 | Speak to {Npc}. | Speak to {Npc}. | The Strange Man Npc | I spoke with a strange mercenary near the tree. He claimed to know why the hangings are happening but refused to explain. He hinted that their group might be responsible and directed me to their camp for answers. It seems this man is somehow tied to the mystery. | |

| 5 | Speak to {Npc}. | Speak to {Npc}. | Bandits Leader Npc | The leader of the group admitted to the hangings, claiming they’re enforcing justice where the system has failed. They target brigands and criminals, sending them to the tree as punishment. While their methods are extreme, they believe this is the only way to restore order in Karvenia. | |
| 6 | Kill the Leader | Kill the Leader | I killed the leader of the group. Without her guidance, I hope the hangings will stop, and the villagers can find some peace. Time to report back to Elder Yaxley. | ||
| 7 | Speak to {Npc}. | Speak to {Npc}. | Farnworth Elder | I told Elder what he needed to know. It got me thinking… someone really should take care of justice in these lands. Could it be… me? |
