Moryana is probably too kind and innocent for adventuring life, at least as she is currently. I can't picture her using violence, maybe not even to save her own life.

Here is a reference to Karameikos map [ref]. The Duke's road runs from Specularum in the south to Threshold in the north. Goblins have been spotted all along the Duke's road, from Kelvin up north. Maybe they are moving out of the forests to the east as well (east to west), but the Highreach river forms a natural barrier they won't be able to cross.

You don't know exactly where the goblins usually live, except there was always a sizeable number of them in the forests, and deep in the mountain chains to the north. Elves inhabit the forests, but even they don't venture into the very deep parts, which is the domain of the fey and other stranger creatures and nature gods (like the 'Lady of the Forest').

Halav didn't say where the Beastmen are at, except that they are 'stirring' in the forests.

Another clue you should consider is that the goblins you recently encountered in Mistamere and earlier than that were all sickly and emaciated (that was mentioned several times)

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Mistamere is a couple of days north of Threshold, which is itself the last human settlement on the frontier

The answer is a 'yes' for all three. The goblins are moving on mass from west to east, pushed out of the forests. You have seen it happening all along the Duke's road, from Mistamere down to Threshold, Verge, and Kelvin. You could choose to investigate any of the areas you mentioned, because the pattern seems to be the same.
