Maybe just a way to feature a female orc shman to be politically correct

Probably yes... and also a chance to create a subplot with new missions to connect later with the WoM ones and fill the expansion with at least 10 missions.
Maybe in such subplot we see Grawshak coming back and join again to Zargon? Maybe he needs to return and help his daughter, or just as revenge if his daughter is killed by the Heroes!

I saw a picture of the map and notes shared on Reddit, and unless I missed something this tiny quest already has an errata to deal with: I didn’t see a wandering monster listed.

According to a fan who asked Doug at the booth, the wandering monster is supposed to be 1 goblin.

Also the Quest "The Trial" of 1989 did not have the wandering monster: are you sure that Doug has talked about 1 goblin for this online quest 4?

These are Doug Hopkin's notes which he gave me and I scanned below. Author's intent revealed!
And yes, it's 100% confirmation that WOM is coming soon, pretty much as Chris/Encarmine suggested.

This quest was situated before "First Light" and we used that set at GenCon, but that's about it.
The numbering of these "online quests" really has nothing really to do with the intended play order. Knightfall is a prequel to ROTDM, Into the Northlands a prequel to Frozen Horror, Forsaken Tunnels of Xor Xel a prequel to Kellar's Keep, New Beginnings a prequel to The Trial... and Rogar's Hall is also a prequel to The Trial. But as Doug has said, you play the quest books in any order you choose... these are just promo adventures to get people interested, or one-offs for added fun. Mostly he is all about a fresh party of heroes starting each book, so the prequel quest can serve as an opportunity to gain more gear a little easier than Quest 1, BUT it is not strictly necessary for the story or difficulty. That said of course "Into the Northlands" is kind of an invaluable PDF for Zargon since that quest pack as printed is kind of broken (ESPECIALLY if it's a brand new party).
Re:, the Trial... 1990, but yeah, 2nd Edition EU "The Trial" (created by Mike Gray, we have learned) only uses the Monster cards, so the only treasures found are the ones in the chests on that one. The NA edition (same year) had an Orc as Wandering Monster. Anyway, now we know for "Dread on the Horizon" what it was intended to be.

Has there been any word if/when this will be added to the Online Quests on Pulse?
