The guide is telling me to light a lantern in the deep and there's another npc who wants me to kill the king of beasts, but I can't seem to figure out how to get to the depths. There's what looks like a zone exit to the right of the latter npc but nothing happens when attempting to walk through it, and the fog wall to the left is presumably full-game content. There's also what looks like an elevator outside the lower village entrance, but that's presumably enabled later.
