4. Investigate Windstalker Village tavern

Tips

This quest spans Freeport, Qeynos, Crypt of Betrayal, Antonica, Thundering Steppes, Rivervale, and Enchanted Lands — plan travel time.
Dismount before entering the Windstalker tavern if the automatic update fails.
Protect Leelav during the final beach fight — if he dies, you must wait ~5 minutes for respawn.
Low-level characters of opposing alignment can use The Thieves' Way (Good → Freeport) or The Down Below (Evil → Qeynos).
