When you show up at the Windspear Hills and kill a few Ogres, Garren shows up and urges you to visit his house. If you do, he gives you the skinny on the Firkraag story. If you
don't, he appears outside the ruins, so you can't go fight a Red Dragon without at least
some inkling of what's going on. The fact that there are two Garrens is a bug.
Not going inside the house makes the back-story a bit confusing; for clarity of sub-plot, I urge newbies to enter Garren's home right off the bat.
[EDIT] It's ironically fitting that
this very post gave me enough posts to finally be a Red Dragon.
