The story behind it
The druids of the circle are not supposed to speak with outsiders, and when Alba stops you on your way back to Badongerst you say as much: "I heard your people weren't supposed to talk to outsiders." Her answer: "I mean, we're talking, aren't we? That law is a bit... complicated." She wants a letter taken to Kelby, a man who lives "in a small chicken farm just by the cliffs."
She was not born into the circle. Spinney Greenwood, who raised her, tells you "Her parents were merchants from the Great Savannah, headed North to do business - when they were set upon by undead on the road. This was about twenty years ago when the issue was becoming more serious."
By the time we discovered that there was an attack, everyone had been slain. We laid the undead to rest, and in looking for survivors we found a child wrapped in a bundle, hidden in the back of a wagon.
He named her after two albatrosses he once watched "fly off together towards the Eastern Sea side by side". Now she "has begun the process of becoming a True Druid", and is ready to begin taking the Druid's Draught, "a secret elixir" that turns someone "from human, simaros, or other beings into a true druid. Once this process has begun, it cannot be undone". She is also in love with Kelby Senn, who, in her words, "has no interest in this life." By Kelby's account, she "had a habit of sneaking out of the graveyard late at night, scaling down the cliff", until "one night she fell from the cliff - right through my roof".
Do I give up the life I've led and the future I imagined here to follow my heart, or do I stay true to my path, become a true druid and become what I am meant to be...
The choice is hers, and what you say to her along the way shapes it. Either way, you come away with a Druidic Friend Mask. If she stays with the circle, Alba gives it to you herself, "a high honor among the druidic peoples." If she leaves with Kelby, Spinney gives it to you, so that "you will forever be a friend of this Circle".
