Forest Disappearances

A moment of your time, friend? A short while ago a sylvar named Partik came seeking the aid of our grove. He said his village was under attack by the gorm and was in danger of crumbling away altogether. I told him we could not spare any soldiers, but their people were welcome to take refuge with us. However, it has been some time since he left and I have not seen or heard anyone from that region since. Can you go investigate? He came from the northeast.
