Broken Ground
Olvan becomes infected and sides with Zerif after Zerif slips a small part of the Wyrm under Olvan's door.
Heart of the Land
Olvan gets bitten by a stone viper, which petrifies him. He is given just enough of the antidote by Oathbounds to blink, breathe, and stay living.
In the Game
In the game, Keith brings you to where Lenori and Olvan are waiting in the crest of a hill. Olvan welcomes you and tells you Lenori had a vision involving you. Lenori tells you to drink the nectar from the flask in which you oblige. After you drink it, you choose which spirit animal to get (including cheetah, several kinds of horses, maned wolf, and tiger, though there are many more).
After you pick your spirit animal, a badger appears and Olvan tells you to free it by using a weapon. After you free it, You have to shoot a snake with your bow, then finish it off with the Charge skill, level 1. You then get taken to Greenhaven. Olvan is in charge of all the (aboveground) quests.
