Resolve Blacklake's unrest in Neva: infiltrate Meldanen's estate, free the dryad, and acquire the Lock of Dryad Hair for the cure.
Quest: Blacklake: Unrest
Who/Where: Formosa, Blacklake.
XP: 0
Gold: 0
Other: Periapt of Wisdom +1
What: Formosa will inform you about the troublesome sorcerer, Meldanen, and the unrest he is causing in Blacklake. Your objective is to gain entry into Meldanen's estate. You have two primary methods for entry: either force your way in by defeating his guards and breaking down the door, or speak with Milly to initiate the 'Blacklake: Meldanen Estate Entrance' quest, which provides a more subtle approach. Once you have successfully entered the estate and obtained the key (or Meldanen's silver tooth if you defeat him), return to Formosa. If you killed Meldanen, present his silver tooth as proof. Your reward for resolving the unrest is a Periapt of Wisdom +1.

Quest: Blacklake: Meldanen Estate Entrance
Who/Where: Milly, Blacklake.
XP: 0
Gold: 0
Other: None
What: Milly, a wandering cleaning lady in Blacklake, will reveal that she once visited the sorcerer Meldanen's estate. She offers you a key to her house, which contains a portal in the back room. This portal serves as a discreet entry point into Meldanen's house, bypassing the need to confront his guards directly. The quest is completed as soon as you successfully enter Meldanen's house via this portal. There is no direct XP or gold reward for this quest, but it provides a strategic advantage for the 'Blacklake: Unrest' and 'Blacklake: Tensions Rising' quests by offering an alternative, often easier, method of infiltration.

Quest: Blacklake: Tensions Rising
Who/Where: Meldanen, his estate, Blacklake.
XP: 320
Gold: 0
Other: None
What: Upon confronting Meldanen within his estate, you will acquire the Master Key from him, earning 120 XP. This key is essential for freeing the dryad he has imprisoned. Locate and free the dryad, which will grant you the Lock of Dryad Hair and an additional 200 XP. The Lock of Dryad Hair is one of the crucial components needed for 'The Wailing and the Waterdhavians' main quest, so remember to deliver it to Aribeth. Additionally, take the Master Key to Formosa to complete the 'Blacklake: Unrest' quest. This quest directly contributes to both the resolution of Blacklake's problems and the overarching main story.
