Kith and Kin

	Warden Neelahind
	Warden Neelahind, Eskhind, Angohind, Hindriarch Keh, Kesehind, Hindren Scout, Hindren Villager, Faundren Villager
	Variable

Kith and Kin is the final quest in the optional Bey Lah questline. It is started automatically once Hindriarch Keh is spoken to after Eskhind's return and Find Eskhind is complete.

Once you obtain the quest, Angohind will helpfully offer his expertise on how to find clues and solve a mystery. Warden Neelahind can offer information about the various suspects. Clues can be items on the ground, geographical features, information from the populace, or the looker descriptions of key NPCs.

If an accusation can be proven false by Neelahind's knowledge of the suspect, they are ruled out from further accusations.
