The walkthrough is confusing to navigate, what quests need to be done to get past chapter 1?

Usually, you just need to visit and complete a Shapeshifter's temple each chapter, if you just want to progress through the main story (there is one exception, but it should be obvious in-game). The chapters won't progress until you sit down at your study to update your notes on the shapeshifters, though, so you have all the time you want before moving forward.
