Its not a bug, but description does not convey what is actually true.
The camp is at least 2 days one way trip, this is deffenitely not “near”.
game version 1.1.0.8.
Check this out, Krumhorn asked me to clear this camp, and it would be a trip about at least 2 days and half.
And don’t mention those quests given by noble houses, had to cross the map from east to west and then travel all way back, with so many mountains in between, while the whole world was waiting for my “salvation”.
