Could you advise us what to keep in mind when traveling this general area?

If you want to travel along the Svellt, you should take the route via Arsingen and Sibra.

Tell us about Arsingen.

Arsingen is an insignificant townlet. It’s so insignificant the orcs may have passed it by. There is absolutely nothing to be captured there.

And what about Sibra?

Oh, you should visit Sibra. It’s in a small clearing in the middle of Blood Peak Forest. The orcs wouldn’t notice that village if they were to set camp in the middle of the village square.
