He explains that the land is not made up merely of soil and roots, but that it has a spirit of its own - a young fey boy named {{CharLink|Thaniel}}. Halsin has not felt the boy's presence since the curse was unleashed, and believes he was banished to the [[Shadowfell]]. Halsin asks that the party look out for any clues as they venture through the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]]. | ||

Information regarding Thaniel's whereabouts can be found at the [[Last Light Inn]], in a room on the northern end of the ground floor. Inside, a man named [[Art Cullagh]] is lying on one of the beds, unresponsive and singing a song about climbing trees with Thaniel - whose name he could only know had he actually met the boy himself. | Information regarding Thaniel's whereabouts can be found at the [[Last Light Inn]], in a room on the northern end of the ground floor.

To proceed, the party must obtain the {{SmRarityItem|Battered Lute}} from {{CharLink|Malus Thorm}} within the [[House of Healing]] and bring it back to Cullagh in order to wake him up. Once awake, Cullagh asks to see Halsin, as Thaniel had told him to seek the druid out. | ||
Halsin may already be at the inn if he was told about Art's condition beforehand, or the party can go fetch him now, but either way Halsin asks Cullagh what he remembers of Thaniel and where they met. Though Cullagh struggles to explain the shifting landscape of the Shadowfell, he does remember that he always smelled lavender when Thaniel was around. | Halsin may already be at the inn if he was told about Art's condition beforehand, or the party can go fetch him now, but either way Halsin asks Cullagh what he remembers of Thaniel and where they met.
