Another Kind of Spider?

Scout out the [ZONE_BLOODFANG VILLAGE|Bloodfang Clan] for [112625|Layse Ikali], the ecology research team member in the [ZONE_FOREST OF WHISPERS|Muttering Forest] and find any clues having to do with spiders.

I noticed that a lot of Troll totems and banners carry the image of a spider. Maybe they hold the key to this mystery or perhaps not...

As the spider I am looking for is not to be found around the area of the [ZONE_ROCKSKULL VILLAGE|Hardskull Clan], maybe I will find the answer near the Bloodfang Clan...

(You stare grimly at [112625|Layse Ikali].)

Don't look at me like that! I'm not going to ask you to throw strange objects at them this time. I just want you to enter the [ZONE_BLOODFANG VILLAGE|Bloodfang Clan] and look for any suspicious objects or clues. When you find some, come back. But don't overstay your welcome, OK? My friend...

A spider altar that fills the air with strange vapors? Pillars shimmering with purple light? Are you sure? Could it be...

([112625|Layse Ikali] grabs a book with a dark cover and starts flipping through its pages. You can tell the book is very old.)

I've found it. I see. Everything makes sense now. My god! Friend, we are facing a foe greater than any we have ever faced before...

Spiders... spiders... everywhere...

But not the one I seek...
