 * Guardian of The Forest: A human, eh? Strange creature. So, why have you awoken me?
 * Guardian of The Forest: I haven’t been awake in 200 years. I would have thought Tiek would have fixed the decay by now...
 * Guardian of The Forest: This is awful. You have to act now. I can feel it has not yet crossed the river.
 * Guardian of The Forest: Head south and you’ll find an arch with a white symbol on it, I must know what state it’s in.

 * Guardian of The Forest: Or maybe... It is there. Just hidden. Of course. You’re not from Gavel, right?
 * Guardian of The Forest: Oh yes. Yes... You just can’t see it!
 * Guardian of The Forest: Of course.. If something foul were to enter the forest it would hide itself.
 * Guardian of The Forest: You’ll need to find someone who can help you see.
 * Guardian of The Forest: Is Cinfras still standing? I once heard they invented something with two glass things to put over your eyes so you could see better. Perhaps go there and seek them out.

Dialogue:

Dialogue:

 * Ollie: What is it exactly that you can't see? Oh... Let’s try something else.
 * Ollie reaches under the desk and produces a dusty tome labelled 'Magical Sight' 
 * Ollie: Let’s see... Ah yes. Perhaps the Clearsight spectacles are what you need.
 * Ollie: Oh my, we’re going to need a few things. Such as [Tears of the Honest], [Coin of the Charitable], and [Note of the Selfless].
 * Ollie: These items are so peculiar. I really wonder how magic operated hundreds of years ago. I don't know how you will acquire these... But if you ever do, come back to me. On your way out, do tell that person shouting to be quiet.

Trivia

 * As Jack stated in his letter, “I’m sorry dads,” he must have meant Charlie and Dave. Charlie also refers to Dave as his "Life partner," meaning they are a gay couple.
 * Charlie, Dave, and Jack are named after Grian's, Abandonedbank's, and HardBoiledEgg's real-life names, respectively.
 * In the actual game, there are many grammar mistakes such as, “gardener” being misspelled as “gardner” and using “apothecary” being misspelled as “apothacary” in the quest book.
 * One of the quest items the player will get is "Canned Abis," which sounds pretty close to a plant called Cannabis, more commonly known as weed.
 * This quest follows a fairly well-known trope that can be seen in movies, TV series, and other games.
 * This trope is one where someone asks the protagonist to help them, usually with retrieving some sort of personal item, but whoever has said item also wants help from the protagonist in the same fashion as the first person. This goes on with more and more people until the protagonist gets to a point where they can do all the previous tasks and thus, receives the reward from the original asker.
 * The quest was reworked in 1.20 Gavel Reborn Update.
