In the game, Sigil the Storyteller tells a story about a spirit of nature:
"A long time ago an entity called the spirit of nature, was acting as keeper of the order and balance of nature in the kingdom. One day the spirit was challenged and defeated by a powerful archmage. The archmage forced the spirit to fall into a deep slumber never to be broken. But it is said that in the presence of magical herbs the spirit would wake. But as you might imagine no one ever found the place where the spirit is sleeping."
Does the spirit exist? Can you wake it? If so, where is it? Are the herbs the same ones you need to find for Orobas the Elf? Or is this just a random story with no point? Have I asked enough questions?
