Did I totally just screw myself out of a good deal of content?

So, I took the mage's guild book quest on Eboheart side and I chose Arkay's beard at the coaxing of my husband. I chose it because it wasn't a path I've ever taken before. Later on, I find out I've rightfully screwed myself out of ever getting into Crow's Woods and the only good place for low level leather.

Please tell me there's another way to get in there? Ugh. Well, I'm only level 10, maybe if I delete it and restart the entire character it won't be too bad...

There's bound to be another way to get a lot of leather. I wouldn't panic. Games been out for a.day.

Pretty sure one quest has nothing to do with the other. To get into Crow's Woods you have to get that chest in the cave near the docks to be glowing red (which as far as I can tell has something to do with the time of day if there isn't a bug involved).

I chose arkay's beard too and I could go to crow's wood
