The soil of Wylderock is notoriously bitter and choked by ancient blights, yet against all odds, Thalin the Sage has achieved the impossible. By successfully purging a plot of sour, cursed land, he has established a fledgling sanctuary of life—a garden that now breathes amidst the rot.

​But a garden is only as strong as its roots. Thalin now turns his sights toward the Throttled Vale, a region where the vegetation has not only survived the corruption but has grown lethal to endure it. He requires brave souls to venture into the tangled overgrowth and retrieve rare botanical specimens for cultivation.

Reward: 30 GP

Alchemical Breakthroughs: The herbs you recover will directly influence Thalin’s research. Depending on the properties of the specimens found, Thalin will be able to concoct entirely new potions—or even potent poisons—to be added to the campaign’s Marketplace.
