Garth is the owner of The Frost Hound Tavern in Hawkethorne, and is a pillar of the community. He's the closest thing to a leader the people of Hawkethorne have.

Appearance

A towering old wolf-man named Garth runs the place along with his daughter Gwyneth, the serving girl. Her father is gruff and speaks little, but the two of them are your only company most days.

Personal History

Garth used to be a thief in his early life before he settled down in Hawkethorne. During his thieving days he was part of a company in which the captain (who would later become his wife) took a liking to him right off. The company kept on for a few years until their luck ran out when one summer his captain tells him that she was pregnant with his kids. It took everything Garth had to convince his wife to settle down, but eventually they did. Sometime after the kids were born she was exiled from Hawkethorne, leaving the kids with him. The exact reason as to why is kept a secret and those who know do not speak of it.

Quests

Dog Days

Garth has asked you to investigate the disappearance of his son Garret, who left for a logging camp before the blizzard hit and hasn't been seen since. The camp is situated on the western side of the Old Forest.

Right of Conquest

Garth the Innkeeper informed you of an orcish warcamp in the eastern foothills, close enough to threaten Hawkethorne. You're not exactly an army, but if you could do something to dissuade them from raiding down into the lowlands, the town and its inhabitants could rest easier.

Shades of the Past

Garth looks like he's got a job for you, a request to retrieve something important to his wife from an old lupine fort. He's asked you to inquire with River, a local bard staying at the Frost Hound for details.

Farmhand's Freeholds

Garth mentions the recent events happening in Harvest Valley and is concerned about a farm that supplies a big chunk of food for the Frost Hound and its inhabitants. He will ask the Champion to check up on the farm and make sure everything's alright.
