Town Crier tells you, "One of Asheron's Emissaries is in the encampment south of the Iron Blade, well, 'Beach-head' I guess. He seems to be gathering groups of adventurers for some important task."
Town Crier tells you, "Out in the desert, around 4.3S 14.8E, a black substance has bubbled up into a mountain crevace. Whispers say that when the substance is touched it invades your mind. Tread lightly young adventurer, this seems like it is only the beginning."
