Song of the Mountain is the second quest in Lacra's questline, a night climb to the hidden Uriash village. How you handle the guards at the top matters a lot, so pick your words carefully.
Lacra gives it in Svartrau City after A Friend Like This. You have to find out where Isbrand is, which means going to the Uriash. Meet her near Crown Rock after dark.
Follow the windchimes up the mountain. On the way, Lacra may offer to feed on a shepherd. Saying yes or no has no wider effect.
At the top, Uriash guards block the way. Choose the peaceful lines, such as saying nobody needs to die, and treat the stand-off as a test. A fight means wiping out the village and losing the Uriash quests that follow.
If you keep the peace, the Matriarch leads you into the village and tells you where Isbrand is. That sets up Hive and Seek.
BearsBears are the biggest animals in the wilds of Vale Sangora. They hit hard, but at night they are also a solid meal for Coen's blood hunger.
WolvesWolves roam the wilds of Vale Sangora and attack in packs. They are the most common animal fight early on, and at night they double as food for Coen.
LacraLacra is a vampire who says she was sent to get rid of Brencis. She can become one of Coen's closest allies and a romance option, but she follows her own agenda.

A Friend Like This opens Lacra's questline in Svartrau City. You track a rogue vrakhir across the rooftops at night, and how you handle the interrogation at the end can keep it peaceful.

A Mother's Plea is the Uriash Elder's request to find her daughter Ocha in Svartrau. It only appears if you enter the Uriash village peacefully, and it pays out the Soul Stigma Manual.

Hive and Seek is the Lacra quest where you go into a kobold cave to find Isbrand, the vampire who made Brencis. It pays 1,000 XP and hides the legendary chestpiece Isbrand's Plate.
Pilgrimage of Power
A Pilgrimage for Power is a set of side quests where Coen tracks down Uriash glyphs on stone monuments and learns their shaman magic. Each part ends with a new spell manual, so they are a good way to grow your sorcery.
