The Fever Field Expedition
As requested by the High King of Asgeir, and written by the Rune Masters
While not many foreigners are fully aware of Varan history, all educated scholars must know the Legend of the Marsh King. While the ancient King Volstag was consolidating his power in the city of Stormhold and surrounding lands, his younger brother Vlad was raiding and conquering the neighboring provinces. Of all the great victories Vlad had achieved, the greatest - and most well-known - was his victory over the immortal Marsh King.
The Fever Fields were already deemed dangerous due to the aggressive tribes that inhabited it, the deadly creatures that coexisted within, and the fact that it was a marshy lowland. But the brave and courageous Vlad marched in, his army in tow, and battled the Swamp Lords. At each battle Vlad faced the Marsh King himself, slaying him a dozen times over. Each time the Marsh King fell he reappeared elsewhere in the swamp, gathering more allies to help him resist Vlad's assault. After the twelfth confrontation, Vlad acquired the help of a Rune Master. When Vlad slew the Marsh King the thirteenth time, the Rune Master imprisoned his soul so he would never rise again.
Until now. My name is Kuril, and I am the Grandmaster of the Runelords, and first adviser to the High King of Asgeir. My colleagues and I have reason to believe the Marsh King has once again arisen in the Fever Fields. We seek able-bodied warriors and rogues to penetrate the dangerous swamps, but what we need most are powerful users of the arcane arts - those who can join together and bring an end to the Marsh King once and for all.

If interested, you should post in one of Asgeir's border threads and speak to the locals there. Your eventual destination is Stormhold, the capital of Asgeir, and where the Runelords (coloqually known as Rune Masters) are located. Once everyone has made it to the Black Spire, the quest will begin.
