Quests:Dun Barethsol:A Vine Around an Axehaft Winding
Orphan of Green and Red
If Marcella is still dealing on friendly terms with Ella, she has heard the Song of the Fountain's Falling and some of her parent's life stories. Ella has found out about Marcella's own story and asks for more details about her upbringing as an orphan raised by Gardners.
If Marcella does not already possess the Raven's Wing, she can acquire it at this time.
Well of Songs
Ella's well is called the Well of Songs. When asked about it, Ella mentions that there are legends that a river once ran through her glade, flowing down from the mountains and out to the sea. The legend holds that a beautiful nymph-daughter of Cirda fell in love with a great old spirit-bear who was in the service of the Lord of Beasts. Then Cirda moved the river closer to its present-day banks, the nymph chose to remain behind, near the aging spirit-bear and to die with him. When the spirit-bear and the nymph died at last, they were buried by the spirits of the Wild Wood and sung to their rest by the many servants of the Winged Beauty. It is now held by many old and young, far and wide, that the water of the well shall remain sweet so long as the spirit-bear and the nymph-daughter hear new songs every year. Ella has heard no new songs of late, so she wants Marcella to learn some new songs and teach them to her so she, in turn, can sing these new songs over the well and preserve its power.
Alternately, Marcella can mention the Well of Songs to Talan Wendth, the Monks, the Rangers, or Cirades Rymon so she can also help Ella. Either than, or Marcella might get this quest early and then offer to sing the Well every song she learns. If so, the Well might give a bottle of sweet water with healing properties.
Interestingly enough, Ella knows three songs that she never sang over the well: the Song of Fountain Falling and the two prophecies related to Redfall and the Coven of Summer. If Marcella learns them and asks for permission to sing them, Ella will consider it a fulfillment of these prophecies and will permit her to sing them over the Well, and will reward Marcella with extra experience. If she learns some of these verses from Cirades, he will suggest that she ask permission of Ella before singing them to anyone. If she does not ask permission before singing to the Well, she will only get the quest completion experience, not the extra experience related to fulfilling the prophecy.
Guardian's Rest
Ella may also make mention of the fact that she has grown in power and no longer needs to keep her Knight's golem near her. She wishes for what remains of her knight's spirit to know rest. She knows that there are ghosts in the Cemetry - one evil, one good. The evil is recent, the good ancient, but the ancient spirit feels weaker now than ever before and may perhaps need the help of another virtuous guardian.
Once Marcella completes the Guardian's Rest, she can also gain possession of a Greenaxe Medallion.
