Description

It seems an eternity since I was a boy working the farm in Westfall. They say you can never go back, and it's true. Doubly true in my case, my family's home has been burned down and taken over by thieves.

I have spoken with my father about the fate of some of my possessions, including my first compass. He was unable to save them. However, he also says that they should be hidden away on the farm.

You'll find the Alexston Farmstead west of Sentinel Hill. Perhaps you could go and retrieve it for me?

When you return

‹name›! Did you have any luck?

On completion

Oh, thank you, ‹name›! It's of no practical use to me, but the sentimental value... Needless to say, thank you for bringing this to me... at some cost to your own well-being, not to mention the time it took to go all the way down to Westfall. You have my gratitude, and have this as a token of my thanks.
