Quest Log
With the map now in your possession, you retreat to a quiet corner of the Goblin Tavern. The map is ancient, covered in cryptic symbols and riddles. The only way to decipher it is to channel your inner strength and resolve, embodying the spirit of your paladin friend from long ago. The map's secrets are guarded by mystical forces that test both your physical power and mental fortitude.
