Template:Quest3Before this quest called A Greedy God can be done, Geralt must complete the "Wandering in the Dark" quest to obtain the Eye of Nehaleni from Keira Metz.
Summary
Somewhat south of Wastrel Manor and near Oreton you'll find a ruin with some Peasants within. The peasants explain that they're making an offering to the Allgod, which has been responsible for protecting and blessing them - or so they think. One of the residents had reportedly been out gathering brushwood when a bush caught fire - a miracle as far as he was concerned, and out of nowhere a voice spoke to him demanding offerings and worship.
Geralt, and Witchers alike, are not particularly god fearing, and Geralt offers to mediate on behalf of the peasantry - likely knowing there was some kind of normality and explanation behind this.
Using his witcher sense, Geralt is able to spot an open casket of what he thought was wine - but turns out to be vinegar. Following this scent, Geralt finds an illusion which he dispels using the Eye of Nehaleni, only to reveal a cellar below housing a fat sylvan which was acting as the Allgod and demanding tributes from the peasants - displeased with his offerings he had placed a curse on them.
Journal Entry
- In the backwoods of Velen Geralt came across an altar, and next to it - two troubled villagers. When asked the source of their worries, the peasants told Geralt the deity they worshipped - the awe-inspiring Allgod - had rejected the offerings they had brought him. The witcher was not a particularly gods-fearing individual, yet nevertheless promised that he'd intercede for the peasants with their deity.
- It turned out the revered Allgod was a run-of-the-mill sylvan, or, as the common folk call these beings, a deovel. The conniving beast had convinced the local peasantry of its divine powers and had grown fat on their offerings for decades.
If Geralt reasons with the Allgod:
- Geralt convinced the sylvan demanding outrageously sumptuous offerings in a time of poverty and famine was immoral and unbecoming, even for a false god. The sylvan seemed skeptical at first, but after eyeing the silver sword on Geralt's back he decided he'd best not argue.
If Geralt kills the Allgod:
- To Geralt's thinking, while the sylvan had not killed or even injured anyone, it was still a harmful parasite and thus deserved death. The witcher expected the peasants to thank him for freeing them from this horned huckster - but his rational approach to matters of faith met with incomprehension and horror.
