It just so happens that, at this very moment, I am doing the quest related to this for the 2nd time ( stumbled onto itlast time, before Ladies of the Wood , chose Free Spirit ). Practically, Downwarren has nothing to offer but a single unskilled Gwent player, who's also a general trader. You get your reward for finding Anna regardless of Pro Spirit or Anti Spirit, and the Baron is removed from the game, Dead or Alive. You can get the unique Gwent card from his office, as well as noteworthy Valen player info , if you fail to play him in Gwent. Morally speaking, the Baron is either a victim of plot contradictions, or is a lier; he has Tamara, the "Apple of his eyes" to live for. That he kills himself rather than endure the pain that his serious mistakes wrought makes him both a coward and a lier, or the person in charge of character story development did not grasp the meaning of the  emotions they gave to him. Anna knew the dangers of dealing with the Crones, but allowed her emotions to dictate her actions. Her mind was already ravaged by the loss of her child, as well as her servitude to the Crones, so the "Orphans" being devoured simply destroyed her sanity fully. The villagers chose to accept control from the Crones in exchange for alleged protection, being more than willing to abandon children on the trail of treats , hence the children being "Orphans" , and resulting in the children being killed by monsters or eaten by the Crones. Downwarren's destruction, and later on, the Crones themselves , ends this bloody practice , allowing the swamp-dwellers to decide their own fate, as far as their regional rulers tolerate. In summary, there is no clean ending , as someone will have to die for the mistakes of others, I personally choose to save the Children , as they currently lack the means to decide their fate, and thus should not have to perish because of drama and the absence of reason  in older people.
