Overview

The sahuagin destroyed the Raveneye clan's village during their invasion of the Red Fens. One Raveneye clan elder, Viercha Ettervs, is making a brave and probably doomed last stand in the Refuge of the Ancestors.

Gullwing wants you to travel to the Refuge of the Ancestors in the northeast section of the swamp and save Viercha Ettervs.

Tips and Misc

The assault does not begin until you speak to Elder Ettervs.
There is a pause in the fighting after the second round (stopping the destruction of the village) and second wave, giving you a chance to use the shrine and rebuff if need be.
Braktaxx may appear with the group destroying the village.
Glomm may appear during the final battle, to the north.
When you kill Tsa Ketn, all of the Drowned he summoned will also die. These will not count towards your kill bonus.
