Return to Windspear is a huge new quest that you will be offered in ToB soon after leaving Saradush. A messenger from the Order of the Most Radiant Heart will deliver a message to you from Garren Windspear to meet with him at Watcher's Keep. There are two different messages that you could possibly get... these depend on whether you were a friend to Garren or an enemy. Since you killed Firkraag, it left a power vacuum in the area... and a new force has moved in to the dungeon. I wont spoil the plot here, but will put in the "Good" message from Garren that describes what has occurred:
------------------------
Greetings,
Not long after you departed, I began seeing strange footprints on my lands. I am still unsure whether the prints were of man or beast. I thought nothing more of this until a travelling merchant requested my help concerning some bandits that he claimed had killed his companions. I wanted to see them for myself and ventured forth with him to the scene, but nothing remained. There was no evidence anywhere that anything had occurred. It was most curious. He insisted that they wore robes of red and spoke with a strange accent, not heard in these parts before.
More recently, a dozen of the Order's most valiant knights accompanied by twenty engineers were sent to clear out the lair of that monster Firkraag. I had recently donated that land to the Order, and they intended to rebuild the old fortress as a temple and a training facility for young recruits. During the second week of work, the knights encountered a nest of vampires somewhere within the passages. A single paladin escaped the dungeon with this information before an invisible force sealed the entrance. He emerged near death and quite insane. No one can confirm his story, but he died soon afterwards in a manner consistent with loss of life force. Attempts to enter the passages have been unsuccessful. No magic nor divination has been able to penetrate this barrier. The fate of the paladins is unknown, but I fear the worst. The Order has declared this task to be of the utmost importance, and you will be well rewarded regardless of the outcome.
It is not safe for me to remain here in the Hills - I must protect my family. Please meet with me personally near the fortress known as Watcher's Keep; there I will be able to provide you with more information.
Your friend,
Garren Windspear
