At the command of Sir Amik, Squire Theodore is sent to the town of Taverley to consult with the local druids about the flowers.

Upon his arrival at Taverley, Kaqemeex the druid confirms that the flowers are in fact snowdrops, which grow on Ice Mountain, adding further suspicion that Kara may be a spy.
