Valencia Surehunter

At Mount Otzi

Present Raider
Trissa's been gone helping Jack for a while. Jack Lindsey used to arrange for horses, reserve ship rides, and draw maps for my dad's trips. Then, he retired to keeping our home tidy while we were abroad. Trissa and I owe him a lot. Let's get the venison stew simmering before they're both back. I can show you around while we work…

Trey Surehunter
That story I told you about my dad was a sour one. There's more about how amazing he is, and how he helped preserve so much of Lore's history. He even risked execution to keep Kings from burning books. You can't be as good as dad without dedicating your life to your work! All of it. Mom walked out on him because he was away so much. It broke his heart. That's why he brought me on every trip until the incident…

The Valley
I hope you didn't think the Surehunter's home base would be tucked away on any old mountain. These cabins used to be a cluster of tents my dad set up as a waypoint between caves and ancient castles. The valley below the mountain range is filled with ruins and secrets. We used to discover something new every other month. There was even a water elf settlement at the bottom of a lake!

Trissa Surehunter
After the founder of Lore's Conservator's passed, Trissa stepped up and turned the archaeological world on its head! She's super smart and knows how to traverse bureaucracy on top of cursed castles. Got me out of dungeons with paperwork alone! Trissa's so bright, but I think she may feel responsible for what happened between my dad and I. If it's not a bother, could you watch out for her with me this Frostval?

Present Raider
Those mutated deer weren't there when I was climbing the mountain during the wind storm. I did fib about waiting for it to subside but I was certain the village was in a desperate spot. Turns out, it was more desperate than I imagined. Luckily, I found Jack but Trissa's still out there. He said that she's helping him fix his mistake. We have to find her!

After completing the 'Cold Pleasures' quest:

Present Raider
I told Trissa that we'd handle this and I don't want to disappoint her. While I try to burn the white cloth, you boot the Sluagh off the mountain. Maybe that'll halt the rite entirely. When you win, I'll pour you an extra mug of moglinberry juice.

After completing the 'Corvus Mellori' quest:

Present Raider
The winds are howling. Shrieking even. Dad had us settle on Otzi mountain because it was surrounded by mysteries to discover. He needed extra hands, like Jack’s, to help him dig them up. Safety? Haha, he didn’t think that far. But, hang in there. I won’t leave you.

Talk
Could I bother you for a distraction? Talking for a bit might smooth out the frayed nerves.

At Otzi War

Holly Jolly Hunter
Could I share an embarrassing secret with you? The entire time Jack and I were sneaking through the feasting hall, I was shaking. The place was packed with violent hunters, ready to put our heads on pikes. Deep down, I was hoping Dad would come rescue us. In the end, we didn’t need him. I was brave on my own, because I knew you and Trissa would be waiting for me.

Huntress Valais
Valais was the latest in a long line of leaders. The Sluagh would steal from famed hunters to lure them out, and trick them into defeating their current ailing leader. That way, an ancient magic would force them into becoming the new head. In Valais’ case, they must have come across her husband. What remained of him…

Holle's Meal
The ritual unique to the Sluagh under Valais’ leadership was actually the last meal her husband made for her. It might have been the final piece of her memory that remained while she was under the thrall of the Sluagh. I was expecting a macabre reason. Actually, I wish it was macabre and not so…sad.

Family
Don’t be a stranger. The door’s always open to you, and Trissa will put a welcome sign up if you’re feeling anxious. No, this isn’t a trick to get you to come with us on another troublesome adventure. It’s an express invitation! We’re happy to have you, hopefully somewhere warmer.

At Wolf Lake

Tundra Excavator
Thank goodness you're here! This isn't the best place for a solo mission. There's a legend about a world that embodies the North Wind that lurks nearby, and preys upon anyone foolish enough to hunt alone. I would know- it mistook me for a trapper! I'd leave, but the weather around here is rarely this clear. If you could convince the wolf to calm down or prove that we're strong enough to weather the cold, I'll share my gear- and my most recent findings!

Talk
Instead of exploring further, I think I'll study Amarok at this frozen lake. I found a patch of animal hide with an ancient depiction of them. Take a look at my research if you're curious.

Scouting
There are large patches of the Northlands that remain unexplored to this day- mostly because of the harsh temperatures and lurking monsters.We Treasure Hunters seem to find some new terror every trip, but brave the dangers because we could also come across huge discoveries, like a whole Valley of Kings hidden in the tundra! It would be the discovery of a lifetime… before I move on to the next hunt, at least.

Amarok
Seeing as how I've stumbled across their lake, I couldn't help but do a bit of research on the Wolf of the North Wind- otherwise known as Amarok. Legends say that this beast was the last of its kind, and blessed by the Avatars of both Ice and Energy after a display of loyalty. Amarok preys on foolhardy lone hunters, tears their souls out, and traps them in the same lake where its pack was slain.
