We've edited the blog to reflect that Spria won't be able to change tasks like her father, Turael, does.

We've made changes to the proposal!
Some of you have pointed out that Turael residing in Burthorpe doesn’t make sense. He's the lowest-level Slayer Master, yet he's pretty far away from new players. We'd like to propose adding a Slayer Master to Draynor Village. Now, because we haven’t been as diligent as we would have liked with changes to early game areas (the Draynor Village dock, for example), we thought it was important to hear your views about this potential change. We aren't going to change the layout of Draynor, any Slayer Master will instead take up residence in a vacant building.
Earlier today we proposed relocating Turael to Draynor Village. You responded quite positively to the why behind the proposal, but your feedback made it clear that a more viable solution might be to add another NPC to Draynor whilst keeping Turael where he is, easily accessible in Burthorpe.
Allow us to introduce you to Turael's daughter, Spria. In another game Spria finds herself as Burthorpe's Slayer Master following Turael's untimely demise. But Turael is alive and kicking in Old School RuneScape! So we're proposing that Spria takes up residency as a Slayer Master in a vacant property within Draynor Village and would also play a notable role in A Porcine of Interest. Spria would share the same assignment pool as Turael. It'd be like having two Turael's.
With all of that in mind. We'd like to ask you: Would you like Turael's daughter, Spria, added to Draynor Village to act as a Slayer Master for new and low-levelled players?

There's a lot of feedback based on how Turael being in Burthorpe is preferable for some established players (it's easier to get to Burthorpe than Draynor using methods like the minigame teleport).
We've discussed this and probably we'll amend the blog and the poll question tomorrow!
We'd likely move Turael to Draynor, and have the sibling/replacement take over in Burthorpe. This is because Turael would play a part in Draynor during the quest.
How do you think this sounds?

It's a minor change to the blog, but here's the update:
Updated: 18th August
We’ve been amazed at the support you’ve shown for A Porcine of Interest which, in-turn, has led to suggestions for other changes that would help new adventurers. One of these has really caught our eye, and it's something we'd like to poll. As a result we're going to delay the poll until Friday so you've got time to consider the new question.
Some of you have pointed out that Turael residing in Burthorpe doesn’t make sense. He's the lowest-level Slayer Master, yet he's pretty far away from new players. So, you’ve come up with the great idea of relocating him to somewhere like Draynor Village.
Now, because we haven’t been as diligent as we would have liked with changes to early game areas (the Draynor Village dock, for example), we thought it was important to hear your views about this potential change. We aren't going to change the layout of Draynor, Turael will instead take up residence in a vacant building. We’ve already thought about the required tweaks needed to accommodate this change, like the clue scroll step or changes to Animal Magnetism, but given that some of it already takes place in Draynor, we think it fits extremely well.
With all of that in mind. We'd like to ask you: Should we move Turael from Burthorpe to Draynor Village, as described in the blog?
We look forward to hearing your feedback!
