Caladon []

Notes[]
- This quest is found in the "rumor" tab of the player's logbook, rather than in the "quest" tab
- If the player has expert training in Bow when he talks to Kietzal in Black Root, then this quest can be done concurrently with the Bow Mastery Quest
- Otherwise the Mastery Quest cannot be started until reaching Caladon, and talking to Kietzal a second time
- And since access to Caladon is only available later in the game, it can be advantageous to get expert training in Bow BEFORE taking the Dudley quest if Bow Mastery is desired, or simply if the player wishes to get the Bow of Ecclesiastes early
