Sanctuary

When presented with the soup, Yvelle scarfs it down in less time than
you can blink (I vote for hummingbird metabolism). She tells you how
the Spellstruck Halls were lost in the unbinding and all the magical
scrolls within, disappeared with it. As she says, if the school still
exists, it's hard to imagine the spells that must still be in there,
waiting to be discovered. One can hope anyway, right?
After her tale, Yvelle suggests you return to Yaren. Once there, you
find out he sent Morgulg there in hopes of inspiring him a little.
That's great, but couldn't he have just told me that 10 second tale
himself? Ah well. What's done is done. Speaking of Morgulg, Yaren
hasn't seen him come back yet, and asks if you'd be so kind as to go
look for him. What else have you got to do?
Using the Snowhill warp stone, you teleport right beside Morgulg to
find him blubbering once again. I don't know about you, but I'm quickly
beginning to see a pattern forming here. It turns out the dumb (and
cowardly) oaf saw a snake as he was traveling through Floren Forest and
dropped his wand. *sigh* Words fail me at this point. Rather than
lecture him, I agreed to go into the forest to find his wand.
This will probably be the first time so far that you find a dungeon
area that is a solid challenge. The monsters are far tougher and more
grouped together than you've been used to. It's a hefty challenge, but
not only do I think you're up for it, it's good practice for the
future. Approximately half way through, you'll find a small offshoot
area with lots of snakes in it. Clear this out to find the chest
containing Morgulg's wand. Finish out the dungeon (if you can) for the
needed experience, and head back to Morgulg near the Crystal Barrier
near Yaren.
After returning the wand to Morgulg (and not strangling him for his
"Pew, Pew" noises as he pretends to shoot things), Yaren decides you've
improved enough to make your first wand. He's currently too busy trying
to deal with Morgulg, but fortunately knows the best wand maker in the
land, Osgood. He tells you to travel to Sanctuary to look for him and
learn how to make your first wand.
Traveling the streets and myriad shops of Sanctuary, you finally find
Osgood on the west end of town. Without a doubt, he's either the oddest
looking gnome I've seen in quite some time, or the shortest human. In
any case, he's quite friendly. Unfortunately for you, he tells you that
you're just not strong enough to make a wand yet. It's time to go out
and do some more hunting because you need to be level 10 before you
come back to him.
