      |  A narrow path trails through the Forest of Tears south of      |
      |  Darkhaven and winds along to the Shattered Refuge of the       |
      |  Gnomes. This path is frequently traveled by young adventurers  |
      |  seeking to make their fortune outside Darkhaven and gnomes     |
      |  journeying to Darkhaven to barter.                             |
      |                                                                 |
      |  Rumors are spreading that this area is no longer safe. A small |
      |  gang of bandits strike at travelers who are unaware of the     |
      |  threat. Darkhaven guards have searched the areas around the    |
      |  path attempting to find the bandit's lair, but to no avail.    |
      |                                                                 |
