Map:

Notes:

Entrance (Narrow Path and Glade):

• You quickly come upon the huge gibberling which will prevent high level players (lv30+) from entering the glade
• There are a ton of creatures in the glade. A lot of them move, and all of them pick up dropped items which means you have to be careful you are burying  all the corpses as your rip_action might miss a corpse a creature dropped.
• WARNING: The gibberlings wander as well, so you may find them in places other then where they are marked on the map.
• Sometimes the gibberlings will jump out from hiding an ambush you
• In the pond, you can "dive" to go underwater where there are some fish to kill
• In the grove there are a bunch of rotten fruit.
• The description says that maybe a gibberling would like it.
• Not sure if there is any advantage to giving it to gibberlings...
• In the main gate and south gate, the gate guards will block you from entering the city
• In the north gate, it's only guarded by an inexperienced recruit who will let you in with no problems.
• Bonus mini-quest: Go NW from the quiet place in the forest and "follow path"
• I'll admit if I never had read a spoiler for this I would have never found it. I don't see anything in the room description that would imply this is an option.
• Give this doll to the depressed man in the village.

Village:

• Harrison the visiting mage is in the eastern tent when you enter the village from the north
• If you "ask Harrison about villagers" he says someone poisoned the water and recommended investigating the well.
• If you "ask Harrison about well" he says someone poured a transformation elixir in it, turning villagers into gibberlings.
• If you "ask Harrison about gibberlings" he says he has been magically helping the animals and that Kalinth is organizing the guards.
• In the western home, there is a carpenter.
• They will trade you lumber for a fruit/food item. This item changes so you need to ask them first.
• You can buy the fruit from the grocer.
• For the level quest, you will need to give them five items that they want to get five planks of wood.
• In Elder Mersoon's home you can talk to them.
• If you "ask elder about well" he tells you the same story Harrison told you.
• If you "ask elder about ring" he tells you that Drecon had his signet ring but lost it so he gave the job to Sander
• In Sander's home, he says he is too busy to talk to you, but it is a non-standard reply to questions so he may say something to the right prompt.
• At the butcher shop, Jason will sell you some meat
• In the grocery, you can buy some non-rotten fruit to give to the carpenter
• In the smithy, if you have five pieces of wood from the carpenter you can "purchase raft" for 100 gold.
• This raft is required to complete the level quest
• In Drecon's house you can "ask drecon about ring". He says the elder trusted him with it and he lost the ring.
• He was the previous assistant but he lost the ring so now Sander has the job
• In another house is a depressed man. If you ask him about his family he says his daughter disappeared into the forest, then his wife transformed.
• Give him the doll to complete the bonus quest. This quest will show up in your completed quest list. Also, it is a secret quest!
• Text when you complete it:
• You give a child's doll to Depressed man.
• Man tells you 'Thank you so much for returning this doll to me, it is all I have left of my daughter now.'  
• Congratulations! You have just completed Secladin bonus!
• You feel more experienced!
• IMPORTANT: At the well, "turn crank" to make sure the bucket is lowered before going into the well.
• At the well, "enter well" to go into it.
• Once in the well, "search side" to find a key
• Then "climb rope" to leave the well.
• If you were unlucky and the bucket was not lowered, a villager will lower it after a couple of minutes. You just need to wait.
• The key will unlock the house in the southern side of the village.
• Inside the locked house is Arnold the Betrayer, who I'm just going to guess is involved in the whole well poisoning scheme.
• If you successfully defeat Arnold, he will run away before you can kill him and open up an entrance in the fireplace

Caverns Behind the Fireplace:

• IMPORTANT: Make sure you have the raft before continuing. You don't want to make it all the way through here and have to go back because you didn't have it.
• There are two aggressive gibberlings patrolling around the caverns that you need to kill because they drop two keys, a jeweled key, and a stone key.
• These gibberlings hit harder than their EXP worth would leave you to believe.
• There are aggressive slimes wandering around down in the caverns as well
• The stone key will unlock the door to the prison
• Inside the prison is a dwarf held captive. If you "free dwarf" (requires the jeweled key), the dwarf will give you a hint about the puzzle as they saw Arnold solve it quickly when they came running past.
• For example: Stonesealer grumbles, 'I did not actually see the human push in all of the blocks, but the first three were white, then orange and then red. I hope that helps.
• Push in all of the blocks in the correct order. For example, "push white", "push orange", "push red"
• Wait for a "block settles into place with a *CLUNK*" before pushing the next one in
• When you want to test the order, "pull lever". If all the blocks pop out then you guessed wrong and need to try again.
• For me it was white, orange, red, green, blue, yellow
• There are some elite gibberlings you need to kill when wandering around the windy passage
• At the end of the passage is a water elemental that is very difficult (20k+ EXP).
• That being said, I was able to solo them with my riftwalker mage, though it took a number of attack/retreat/regen cycles
• Make sure you pick up the flowing bracelets that the elemental drops since they are a good piece of newbie equipment.
• If you have the raft, you can now go into the river. 
• Be warned: You'll take some damage going through the river
• Next up is tackling (aka killing) the mage behind all of this
• Just a warning, she casts a custom spell "AQUA WAVE ASTERIRE" that can all players and does a ton of damage.
• When you kill her she drops a soft glove which is a good piece of newbie equipment.
• She also drops a flask that is used to complete the LQ
• Go into the next room with the whirlpool and enter the hole. This will take you back to the entrance of secladin by the sign.
• To complete the LQ, go back to the well, go into the well, and "pour flask". When you do that, the following text will appear:
• You pour the contents of the flask into the well.
• You watch as the elixir bubbles slightly, and a toxic odor is given off.
• Whatever poison was in the water has been eradicated now.
• Congratulations! You have just completed Save secladin village!
• You receive 7760 gold as a reward for completing the quest.
