Meeting with scouts from both nations, the party learned they should head toward a ruined city, several days from their current location. En route, they should be on the lookout for Arundel, an ancient druid who has lived in the forest longer than anyone coud remember.
Sure enough, 2 days into their journey, the Heroes rounded a bend and found Arundel setting on a stump having a conversation with a rabbit. He imparted the following tale to them:
"Long after the Darkness swept over the land, a group of beautiful women moved into some ruins, 2 days travel from here. The ruins are from a small city that the forest swallowed ages ago. It is rumored that every 100 years, the ruins are temporarily replaced with a beautiful field, which links to the Feywind. I do not know what the goals of the women are, but I believe they use the magic to cross over to the Fey and retrieve herbs and other ingredients that cannot be found here.
More recently, the women found or acquired, a baby green dragon. In the intervening years, the dragon has grown and become an adult. It is a powerful beast that is utterly loyal to the women. I have tried on numerous occasions to meet with them and discuss the damage the dragon is doing to the surrounding forest. They do not care. What their ultimate plan is, eludes me, but I fear it is something loathsome and vile.
According to the map you have, the ruins you seek are the ones they occupy."
Thanking Arundel for the information, the party continued on their quest.
