The Trial of Rolgan

In the Temple of Tyr, Neurik will ask you to help him once again. A member of the Black Lion Tribe has been accused of murder, and he needs a defense lawyer for the trial. You don't have to agree, but it's a fun side quest. You need to get at least three of five jurors to find him not guilty, but it is possible to get a unanimous verdict without resorting to bribes.

You'll want to talk to all of the witnesses and jurors. You can bribe some of the potential jurors, but not all. The most important people to talk to are the witnesses: Zed (at the Mercenary Enclave), Lodar (at the Drinking House), and Rolgan's wife, Vanda (at the Black Lion Tribe Enclave). Heal Zed, and he'll tell you that Griff drugged Rolgan during the card game. Lodar will tell you the same thing if you buy him enough drinks. Both will also tell you that Griff was a violent man who hated the Uthgardt and was prone to fighting. Speak to Vanda about the heirlooms Rolgan lost in the card game.

During the trial, focus on Griff's violent behavior, his drugging of Rolgan, and the fact that neither of the two human witnesses saw who started the fight. Do not ask about racism (except in terms of Griff's attitude), and don't ask Vanda about the heirlooms' religious significance. Most importantly, don't even mention that Rolgan was drunk. You'll get a unanimous verdict and, as a result, the highest payment from Neurik.

The Drinking House

Speak with Lillian Cambridge about the Word of Power. She'll send you to the Wizard's Dungeon in Coldwood to fetch her missing snow globe. She'll give you a scroll to enter the dungeon once you find it.

Yusam the Druid

At the Druid Enclave, speak with Yusam. He'll ask you to investigate the Elk Tribe's alliance with Maugrim's forces.

The Mercenary Enclave

Rolkid will send you on a bounty hunt to kill two orcs who have been raiding supply lines. Guzud can be found to the south, near Fort Ilkard, and Vaath will be found in Coldwood. After you return their heads, he will send you after Obould Many-Arrows, who can be found in Moonwood.

Many-Starred Cloak Enclave

Eltoora can sell you spellcaster supplies and also has a lab available to create special items. There are five tomes in this chapter, but there is no quest to find them.

The Tome of Robes (fire beetle belly + quartz crystal, cast Enervation = Crystal Robes) is in the massacred homestead in the homelands near Fort Ilkard. The Tome of Power (two bodaks' teeth, cast Feeblemind = Staff of Power) can be found in Layenne's Tomb. The Tome of the Amulet (slaad's tongue + fenberry, cast Mage Armor = Amulet of Natural Armor) is in a book pile in the Creator Ruins. The Tome of the Ring (fenberry + rakshasa's eye, cast Melf's Acid Arrow = Ring of Regeneration) is in the dead dragon's cave. Finally, the Tome of Boots (bodak's tooth + gargoyle skull, cast Stoneskin = Boots of the Gargoyle) is in a chest right outside of Aarin's Lodge.
