Walkthrough
Investigate the Back Alleys of Hernand
After the conversation at the Goldleaf Tradepost, head to the City of Hernand. Your destination is the back alley behind the inn. Follow the quest marker into a narrow passage where you will find a group of villagers and beggars gathered around a man on a crutch.
Approach the group to trigger a cutscene. The man turns out to be Marius, a former Greymane who has been gathering people in Kliff's absence. Marius reveals that Naira and Andrew have already regrouped with him. The quest completes once the cutscene ends.
Notes
This is a short, narrative-only quest with no combat encounters or puzzles.
The Goldleaf merchant also delivers a thank-you message from Shakatu for clearing the Hornsplitter threat in the previous chapter.
Marius becomes a recurring character throughout the rest of Chapter 3, directing the Greymane rebuilding effort.
