Phomona, the Daeva of the Forest, told you about a Cry for Help from the Elim. You went to the Putrid Mire and met Demro there. He told you that Lodas, the King of the Forest, wanted to flee even though the desert was swallowing up more and more land. You brought Lodas clean water, but he held fast to his decision to remain in the forest. Lodas said it was his duty to protect the forest.
