QUEST: Far from Home Far from Home
I met a young Glanfathan named Thristwn at the Brackenbury inn. He and a prostitute named Serel worked together fleecing wealthy nobles until she came into possession of an Engwithan medallion. Now, she wants to sell it, but he wants to bring it home to his broken clan.
Talk to Serel at the Salty Mast in Ondra's Gift.

She is a prostitute at the Salty Mast, a brothel in Ondra's Gift.
Thristwn suggested that I pay Maea if I want to speak with Serel.
