So I got the first quest from somethingsomething Stoutmantle and made my way to Lakeshire to speak with the guy there. Then he told me to return to Stoutmantle, when I did that and handed in the quest I never got the option to continue the quest chain. Questie is indicating that I should indeed be able to get the quest from him and it's definitely not in my quest log. Also upon checking again one of my mage class quests that required me to go into the deadmines has also disappeared from my quest log and I do not have the option to get the quest again. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
