Crow's Perch: Important information
It is wise to visit the most important location of this part of game world, the Crow's perch itself, as quickly as possible. It will unlock access to a craftsman, new merchants and people playing cards. Additionally, by completing the quests for baron you can easily gain experience that is very precious at the beginning of the game.
Don't go to the North of this territory at the beginning. Strong monsters reside there and they can easily kill you.
If due to decisions you made during main quests the baron have killed himself, the Perch will be controlled by baron's men. When you revisit the castle after that, you will see as some of them bully helpless peasants - you can ignore it or help the civilians (a battle to win).
