While out looking for a lucky rabbit around the Old Cliffs, an unfortunate explorer encountered what he thought was one of the kirins that inhabited the area, but it's been corrupted and turned into a noctaere. The wisp is terrified, constantly mumbling, "The black pool… Beware the black pool… The horns… The teeth…!" It's clear the wisp has been traumatized and is already at high risk of becoming a noctaere.

First they must find the kirin and deal with it, purifying or killing it if necessary. Beware, the kirin has transformed and has high corruptive powers based on nightmares and fear. The pool the wisp mentions must also be investigated as it is also corrupted. It can be purified, or it can be left alone after marking and fencing it off to be dealt with another time.

Finally, the wisp will follow them, but the chances of it turning into a noctaere are high, especially if the kirin targets it or it absorbs more nightmare energy by falling into the pond. Protecting the wisp and dealing with the kirin will help prevent it from turning. Finding a different purified pool will also help to reduce the nightmare energy until the end of the task. However, if it does turn noctaere then it will transform and run away to be dealt with in the future.

Let us know how everything is resolved by the end of the month!
