CHAPTER 6: THE BEAST LORD COMETH
In this chapter, you hunt down a self-styled Beast Lord, a wizard who'se passion is to create monstrous versions of nature. Of course, this evil wizard is part of the same conspiracy to bring about the prophecy of Zoniax ...

2) In
Woodsgrove, go speak with the Lady Mayor,
Allanys Songweaver. You can meet her during
day-time at the town hall. The glib former minstrel-adventuress
will give you the job of getting rid of the Beast Lord (for extra
reward!).
3) Next, head to the Friendly Unicorn inn and tavern to hook up
with Ellias Sulkwood, Captain of the Woodsmen of
Woodsgrove - he will tag along with you, if
only to keep his eyes on you.
4) From
Woodsgrove, head east and south to Oaklarand (see key above).
With Relana Springbow in tow,
head to the Royal Castle during day-time for an audience with Her
Majesty, Queen Anethil Stareyes,
monarch of Oaklarand. She will also give you the task of dealing
with the Beast Lord (for even more reward!) and the medusae which
are destroying elven villages (see Rest of DoN).
5) Head back northward to the Northern Area of the Wolvesden
Woodlands and head for the castle of the Beast Lord (see key
above). Be warned that flying guardians will swoop down to attack
you as you try to enter the castle (see key below).

6) After
taking care of the giant troll guardians in the inner court, head
for the stairs to the Basement (see key above).
7) Go straight to the cell and free Jander
Greencloak. Feed him and heal him as best as
you can - then he'll have the strength to complete his healing by
himself. He tells you that he was stalking the Beast
Lord, named Fajik Byostra, to rid the area of
him. He tells you that he stumbled upon a meeting between Byostra
and a priest of Shades named Lauron Blackmantle
in a large dinning hall on the Second Floor, before being
captured. Jander gladly joins you.
8) Head back to the Main Floor and take the stairs to the Second
Floor. Once in the banquet hall, walk along the eastern wall to
bump into the invisible stairs
there. After backing away, click on the encounter button and cast
destroy magic to render these stairs visible. Then take the
stairs to go to the Third Floor.
9) Head as straight as you can to Fajik's study. After
dispatching the mutant guardians of this room, head to Fajik's
laboratory: there, the self-styled Beast Lord of
the Wolvesden Woodlands Fajik Byostra will be
incensed by your intrusion and will sic more of his mutants on
you while at the same time casting spells at you. Have a good
fight.
10) Once you are done, explore/clean up to your heart's content
the rest of the castle of the formerly-living Beast Lord.
11) Exit the castle and the vale, then head back to Woodsgrove to
collect your reward from the Lady Mayor (approach the Town Hall
during day-time). The job done, Ellias Sulkwood will
leave your group to resume his duty as captain of the Woodsmen of
Woodsgrove.
12) Head back to the Western Way of Westlyn to get your deserved
paycheck from Mel. Then choose the job of taking
care of the medusa queen (see Rest of DoN).
13) With Relana still tagging along, trek back eastward to go
take care of the medusae (see key above and Rest of DoN). For a
maximum of awards, go speak again with Queen Anethil Stareyes
only once you have dealt both with Fajik Byostra and the medusae.
Once you get your reward from Queen Anethil, Relana
Springbow will leave your group to resume her
duties as a captain of the Oaklarand rangers.
14) Then journey back to the Western Way tavern of Westlyn to
collect your deserved paycheck from Mel. Take a good rest, then
speak to him again and choose the job of
tackling the hill giant problem.
Congratulations! You have solved the problems of
Woodsgrove and Oaklarand! You can now tackle Chapter 7 (most
suggested), or Chapters 1-5, 8-9!
