Quest Summary:
The party heard a bard's tale of two villages destroying each other over a treasure on the mountain. They learned it was based on two real villages in northermost one a wolfen village and another an actaeon village. They had formed an alliance to fight off the goblins and orcs long ago, but recently these two villagers had begun to feud over a treasure in a mountain temple.

The party wandered far north of avalon and arrived in the wolfen village where they learned the feud was being perpetrated by the younger tribesmen and the elders were at a loss about what to do. Lucius suggested they investigate the temple for the villagers and remove the problem and they were sent to seek the actaeon elder's consent.

After Lucius was made leader of the expedition they set off into the temple and face many traps, one of which almost killed Aliyah. Eventually they found their way to the end, but some of the younger wolfen had noticed them enter the temple and took it upon themselves to stop the "thieves". The fight was brutal, for the wolfen's ferocity and pack tactics made them formidable foes but the day was won. An actaeon sorceress and her rogue flunky had snuck into the temple during the commotion and tried to sway the battle in the wolfens favour in hopes of mopping up the leftovers at the end but the wolfen fell too quickly and they surrendered shortly after their invisibility was defeated.

In the final chamber of the temple lied a great monument to wolfen and acteon working together with a plaque in both tribe's languages reading, "This plaque is dedicated to the formation of the actaeon Wolfen alliance of northermost. May you treasure this new era of peace, for it is worth more than any other treasure." The tribes both realized how foolish they had been and insisted they make up for the actions of their young and brought the party to the villages once more where their wounds were treated and they were showered in valuable gifts including several minor magical items. Lord Stanford showed a great interest in having the actaeon sorceress put into servitude to himself but let her be after Lucius protested the idea. Settling for her name and a cheap hairbrush she'd favoured.
