He'll get a general sort of description of 'stupid blonde oaf' which can apply to any number of traders and villagers (and maybe the odd hero).

Newcomers will pretty much be like wtf no who are you, and the Lekkites provide zero maps. However, if he happens to speak to anyone from Levon, he can acquire a map with marked passes through the mountains to get to their village.

He'll get accosted with loud booming demands about where he got it from and did you kill any trees etc. His not getting kicked across the forest would depend on how well he's able to (truthfully or lying) tell them that he just picked it up from the forest floor - I'll leave that to your discretion!
