Oh, about the quest. The first one is fairly simple escort + combat mission (help escort a man to execution stand and then there is fight when rebels jump to rescue the guy and there is chance guy escapes). It is meant introduction to conflict the present kingdom has with the rebels who are remains of Redblade's own army who now live as rebels/bandits. Next quest depends did guy escape or not (either tracking down escapist or investigate rebel activity in city). Ofc details may had changed since beta.
