Cauldron of Plenty
Wondrous item, rare

This cauldron is made of thick copper that has turned green with age. It is 4 feet wide, has a mouth 3½ feet in diameter, weighs 50 pounds, and can hold up to 30 gallons of liquid. Embossed on its bulging sides are images of satyrs and nymphs in repose, holding ladles. The cauldron comes with a lid and has side handles. It sits on five little clawed feet that keep it from tipping.

If water is poured into the cauldron and stirred for 1 minute, it transforms into a hearty, hot stew, which can provide one nourishing meal for up to four people per gallon. The stew remains hot while in the cauldron, then cools naturally after it is removed. The outside of the cauldron remains safe to touch despite the heat of the stew.

The cauldron can create stew three times. It then ceases to function until the next dawn, when it regains all its uses.

Story:

The party has braved the Lonelywood and vanquished a Banshee, the spectral remnant of a female elf warrior who was banished from her ancestral tombs for a selfish, evil act. After a short rest under the cover of trees, they've chatted with an awakened fox and hare about Ravisins, the druid who keeps awakening beasts to terrorize the townsfolk and learned to location of the Elven Tomb.
At the Elven Tomb, the charakters have found and slain the White Moose and soon after awoke Sahnar, a moon elf mummy and guardian of the tomb, who helped them navigate the moon dial via a Moonbeam spell. which opens the various chambers of the facility.
Full Moon Inscription. “Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
Half-Moon Inscription. “Unlock the tombs of the half moon.”
Inside, they have fought and killed Ravisins the frost druid. Her last word, “You have gained nothing this day. Queen Geluvicken’s work continues and the Frostmaiden’s fury shall not abate until all of Ten-Towns is buried under ice and snow!” leaving the charakters with a warning for what is to come.

The party has reached 4th Level!

Story:

The party has traveled to Lonleywood and spoken with Speaker Nimsey Huddle, who has opened her heated attic to visitors looking for a place to crash for the night, ever since the local inn closed its doors.
Nimsy Huddle, the town speaker, tempts you with freshly baked, halfling-shaped cookies. Her house was clearly built for humans, but most of the furniture is sized for halflings, with a few big chairs for visitors of taller stock. Four children scamper from room to room and climb a ladder up to the loft, chasing one another with wooden swords, while a fire crackles in the hearth in Speaker Huddle’s cluttered kitchen.
“Our loggers are being terrorized by a white moose,” says Speaker Huddle, “and the beast has eluded the hunters we’ve sent to kill it. We depend on the forest for our survival. I wouldn’t be a very good town speaker if I let a dumb moose get the better of us. Will you help?”
She is willing to pay 100gp for the mosse's head and 25gp for the carcass from the local butcher. She also offered the Ramshackle (the closed inn) as an investment property, to do with what they will.
The Party also was alerted to a few Chwinga by their Lantern of Tracking, who were playing house outside Nimsey's home. They managed to gleam the following information from the little fellas:
1. The frost druids are hiding in an old elven tomb deep in the forest and awakening beasts to terrorize ten-towns into worshipping Auril
2. One of the druids, Vurnis, was killed by the local shopkeeper for harassing Nimsey
3. The Tavern keeper is hiding secrets and those she has marked as enemies in the past have quietly vanished.
One of the Chwinga grew fond of the party and has quietly come along with them. Each charakter has recieved one charm from the little gathering.

Story:

Back at Nimseys in Lonelywood the party could finally catch some breaths, exhausted and cold and finally take a deserved long rest. The next morning moods were grim. The party had lost Chonk, Berus axebeak, to the Coldlight Walkers. Trying to help sooth the characters woes, Nimsey offered her best halfling hospitality, but to little awail.
She told them of Jarlmoot, an ancient ritual ground of Frostgiants, who ruled this land a long time ago. Some manner of test and insight might be acquired there, aswell as an old relic hidden there. She also was able to tell them a little more about Oyaminartok, the werebear goliath and her clan, going around the dale and helping those in need. Surely, if anyone, she knows how to help them. After collecting themselves and deciding their next steps, the party set on going north, to Kelvin's Cairn and try to save Osrics old party members and their survival guide, before cutting east and checking in with Aerlyns father, to settle some long standing worries she's been harboring.
The Icewind-Kobold were given the deed to the Ramshakle Inn to make their new home and keep it for the charakters.
Quest: Mountain Climb
Osric and his party, Mokingo Growling Bear Akannathi (male goliath warrior), Perilou Fishfinger(female halfling cleric) and Astrix (female tiefling wizard), hired the help of Garret Velryn, a survialist and moutain guide, but were ambushed by a yeti in a snowstorm
The characters managed to get a badly hurt Garret and deeply exhausted Perilou down from the mountain and to their save encampment. Sadly Mokingo was already half eaten and his head mounted like a trophy among others. Astrix in her panik fled UP the mountain, instead of down and froze to her death. On the mountains peak they found her, kneeling frozen in front of a long extinguished fire, next to another corpse, that of a once very popular dwarven daredevil with blue boots.
Auril in her Frostmaiden form greeted the party, frozen in shock. She beckonned to the lands below and its pristine beauty. It seems that, for now, she's more interessted in what these "heroes" would do next, than anything else and expressed once more her lamenting Skalli's growing effort to evade her. She gidted them with advice before parting:
"Exist as long as you can, by whatever means you can. Only by enduring can you outlast your enemies." "Your compassion makes you vulnerable. Let cruelty be the knife that keeps your enemies at bay."

By the Frostmaidens grace the party has reached 5th Level!

Story:

The heroes have defeated Ravisins and accessed the Mirror of the Full Moon. While the moon dial lights its frame, the mirror functions like an crystal ball of scrying. The mirror is held to the wall with sovereign glue and can’t be removed without shattering it.

“Gaze upon your own face and have seven questions answered.”
1. Sahnar demonstrated how the mirror functions by using it to glean information about his descendants whereabouts and wellbeing. His halfelven grandson lives happy and well.
2. Aerlyn asked how her father was faring. He is well, but surrounded by mysterious men, wearing amulets made of black ice in the shape of a sword. He's serving food, tending to someone imprisoned.
3. Beru asked "Who am I?". The vision showed his birth to him. Has ancestry, his mother. It showed how he was cast into the icy lake for being to fragile of a goliath son. How he was saved by a werebear goliath and then brought to Bryn Shanders orphanage. And it showed him Helm, the God of Vigilance, who beckonned him to "protect them...".
4. Skalli asked how to end the Everlasting Rime. She was shown two Visions. First there was a gnome, dressed like a teddybear, asking for assistance and then a single ray of sunshine, falling onto a lonely Black Cabin beyond the woods. The second showed to her a massive glacier, unpassable by mortal means. The vision turned back t'wards an island deep in the sea of moving ice, which houses a fortress in the image of a crowned skull. A book clad in white in their hands, an old woman with white hair and an eyepatch and three kobolds in a trenchcoat. And finally just standing behind herself, Elric. As she was about to take her hand away from the mirrors surface, two icy blue eyes stared back at her, slowly freezing the edges of the mirror: "There you are..." The Frostmaiden has layed eyes on them.
Before fleeing the evlen tomb immediately, Aerlyn quickly used two more questions on the mirror, not letting the chance to unravel at least some of the unfolding events pass them.
5. Aerlyn asked about all the Chardalyn they've encountered on their journey so far. They saw duergar, stealing away in the dark of night. Bringing chardalyn to a hidden fortress deep in the mountains. They saw them forging weapons of war and a gargantuan construct, a dragon made entirely of chardalyn.
6. Aerlyn asked about the Everlasting Rime. She saw a giant woman with an owl mask and a staff with a chardalyn crystal on top of it. She mounted a massive predatory bird, flying into the night sky and casting some manner of spell, emboldening the endless snowfall.

Sahnar then urged the party to move along. They made their way into the wood, towards a frozen river. There they stumbled upon the crashside of a dogsled and a Halfling, burried head frist into a mount of snow. Osric Whisperwood was a member of another adventuring party hired by Duvessa Shane. They had been looking into climbing Kelvins Cairn and speaking with Oyaminartok, a werebear goliath and local legend said to have unique insight into the happenings of the dale. Sadly they were ambushed by a yeti in a blizzard. Osric had fled the scene together with 2 dogs to go and get help, buth got lost in the storm.
As they were gathering their wits, Auril herself appeared before the heroes. She spoke to them, offering sweet eternity as part of her eternal garden of ice and the beauty she's bring. Not understanding how these mortals couldn't fathom her work and ideals. She adsressed Skalli one last time before disappearing into the snow, the the lights came creeping in. A small army of Coldlight Walkers was approaching them, wounding them severely, almost killing some. (7th question answered) They managed to flee only by Sahnar's timely arrival. He had used the last of the mirrors power to see a way to save them from this doom, only to realize a sacrifice need be made. He joined onto the battlefield with a Forbiddance spell at the ready, which he had cast on his way and struck down against the undead, subsequently ending his own existance along with theirs. "Fly you fools...".

Story:

The party has made their way back to Termalaine on their way to Lonelywood, trying to investigate about the frost druids that seem to stir unrest in Ten-towns. Stopping by their friends Martas home, the Eastside Inn, they found that Trog's caravan was currently in town and decided to pay them a visit.
Torrga Icevein's caravan consisted of three heavily laden dogsleds, each one pulled by six friendly sled dogs. One sled carried provisions and supplies for Torrga, her team, and her dogs. It flew a flag bearing the company’s emblem, a gold wolf’s paw on a black field. The other two sleds transported goods for sale, including cut wood, flint and tinder, flasks of whale oil, blankets, furs, rations, bottles of wine, casks of cheap ale, fake medicines, and vials of poison (used primarily for killing vermin).
Torg’s was an outdoor shop. Goods were unpacked and displayed in crates, with small canopies to keep the snow off them. Most of Torrga’s goods were stolen or fenced, and she sells them for double the normal price. She has a protection racket that earns her a little coin on the side, and she also commits murders for profit on the sly.
Torrga is interested only in profits, turned a blind eye to Sephek’s murderous escapades, and tried to help him as best she could without endangering her own life.
Sephek Kaltro was a well-built man in his thirties. He had an olive complexion, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, and no facial or body hair. He dressed in a stylish vest with matching pants and boots, similar in style to those worn by mariners of the southern Sword Coast, but wore no armor or cold weather clothing and didnt’t appear to be armed. His most striking feature were his eyes, which were as blue as a frozen lake.
Because he was doing the Frostmaiden’s work, Sephek didnt’t care about getting caught and wasn't shy about admitting his guilt. In combat, he wielded a magical sword and magical daggers made of ice that he could conjure at will. He was also able to freely teleport short distanced in the snow and his wounds healed in the cold outside.
As Skalli sank her teeth into the mans throat, a blood-gurgling laught escaped Sephek: “You may destroy this mortal vessel, but Ten-Towns will not escape the Frostmaiden’s embrace. My sister will see to it!”
When Sephek drew his last breath, a cloud of icy vapor escaped his body and dispersed into the night.
Torrga and her bandits, seeing no use in a continued fight, struck a deal with the party. Coin, in exchange for leaving her and her crew well enough alone and keeping their pretty little mouths shut. Otherwise the party might find themselves being unable to buy something they need or denied lodging at a local inn because the merchant or proprietor don’t want to earn Torrga’s everlasting enmity. The charakters wisely accepted.

Story:

The party have made their way onto Maer Dualdon in search of the lake monster as Tali, the half-elf reasearcher requested. “Perhaps this unending winter has affected its eating habits or demeanor in some way.” Waiting and fishing for knucklehead trout, the charakters were able to gather some information on the beast from the local wildlife and identified it as an awakened plesiosaurus. When the monster attacked the party tried to reason with it peacefully.
A reptilian head at the end of a long, slender neck rises out of the cold, dark water. The creature gazes at you intently and says, in Common, “I’m listening.”
The plesiosaurus answered straightforward questions and knew the following information:
It used to just swim around the lake and eat fish. The human who gave it this gift was named Ravisin and claimed to serve the Frostmaiden. Ravisin said it must do it's part to help the Frostmaiden, who wants the people of Bremen to suffer. It didn’t want to be a stupid beast again. (The plesiosaurus didn't know enough about druidic magic to know that its awakening is permanent.)
The plesiosaurus revealed that Ravisin instructed it to spread fear among the town’s fishers. The plesiosaurus or Nessie, as the party named it, doesn’t know where Ravisin came from or where she is now. The sharacters however have heard of rumors regarding a White Moose, terrorizing Lonelywood.
The plesiosaurus was afraid to stop what it was doing because it feared the druid might take away the gift that has been bestowed upon it. After convincing Nessie that its awakening is permanent, the plesiosaurus promised not to attack any fishers from the villages anymore.
When the characters made it back to Bremen’s docks, Grynsk showed up soon thereafter, eager to see how many knucklehead trout they caught. He honors his agreement, paying 5 cp per fish. Tali was eager to see the characters and gives the party a spell scroll of animal friendship and a pouch containing 5 gp as thanks, then headed toward Buried Treasures, the local Inn, to pore over the notes. The inn caters to treasure-seekers, specifically ones who pan for treasure along the riverbank in warmer weather. During the winter, this establishment has few, if any, visitors. The middle-aged innkeeper, Cora Mulphoon, treats her guests like royalty while trying to conceal the fact that she currently is barely making ends meet.
While resting and celebrating their success, the party have met with Marta Peskryk, a willowy teenager, innkeeper and bard of "The Eastside" Inn in Termalaine. She was down in Bremen to collect medicine for her bedridden father, Clyde, a retired fisherman.
Marta sang a peculiar song to herself:
Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name;
Draped in a fur-lined cloak of red,
To the icy lake she fled;
The wind pursued her all the same—
As sure as night she’s dead.
She explained to the party that fifty years ago, a mysterious woman in a fur-lined red cloak stopped at the Eastside on her way to Lonelywood. Because the woman was alone and frightened, the innkeepers—a pair of retired adventurers who happened to be Marta’s grandparents—tried to console her. The woman gave them a ring as payment for their hospitality. Not long afterward, a howling wind burst into the inn and tossed the woman about like a rag doll. The innkeepers intervened, giving the woman time to escape. The evil wind battered Marta’s grandparents unconscious before resuming its hunt. That was the last anyone saw of the woman.
Marta wore the mysterious woman’s ring (which she had inherited) around her neck on a chain. It is a ring of warmth, and Marta gifted it as a good luck charm to the charakters when she was convinced they were helping t bring an end to the wintry curse that besets Icewind Dale.
Cora broke down in front of the party later the next morning while serving breakfast, unable to contain her worries. She explained briefly that her adult son and only child, Huarwar, used to help with the chores until two months ago. Her son had joined a search party to find Speaker Shalescar after he went missing during a blizzard one afternoon. The speaker was brought back safe and sound, but Huarwar got separated from the others and didn’t find his way home until the following morning. He had frostbite and could barely walk.
Over the next few days, Huarwar displayed a meanness toward his mother that was uncharacteristic. The change in his demeanor started after Cora found what looked like a shard of black ice in her son’s room. Huarwar snatched it away and threatened his mother with bodily harm if she touched it again.
The next day, two tieflings (a male and a female) arrived at the inn and offered Huarwar sanctuary in their castle. He left with them willingly, taking the shard with him and telling his mother that he would never return. The tieflings wore amulets that looked much like the shard in Huarwar’s possession. Cora misses her son terribly and she hopes he is still alive. She recalls that one of the tieflings mentioned a castle, and she knows that there are only two castles in Ten-Towns: an intact one in Caer-Dineval and a ruined one in Caer-Konig.

1. Sahnar demonstrated how the mirror functions by using it to glean information about his descendants whereabouts and wellbeing. His halfelven grandson lives happy and well.
2. Aerlyn asked how her father was faring. He is well, but surrounded by mysterious men, wearing amulets made of black ice in the shape of a sword. He's serving food, tending to someone imprisoned.
3. Beru asked "Who am I?". The vision showed his birth to him. Has ancestry, his mother. It showed how he was cast into the icy lake for being to fragile of a goliath son. How he was saved by a werebear goliath and then brought to Bryn Shanders orphanage. And it showed him Helm, the God of Vigilance, who beckonned him to "protect them...".
4. Skalli asked how to end the Everlasting Rime. She was shown two Visions. First there was a gnome, dressed like a teddybear, asking for assistance and then a single ray of sunshine, falling onto a lonely Black Cabin beyond the woods. The second showed to her a massive glacier, unpassable by mortal means. The vision turned back t'wards an island deep in the sea of moving ice, which houses a fortress in the image of a crowned skull. A book clad in white in their hands, an old woman with white hair and an eyepatch and three kobolds in a trenchcoat. And finally just standing behind herself, Elric. As she was about to take her hand away from the mirrors surface, two icy blue eyes stared back at her, slowly freezing the edges of the mirror: "There you are..." The Frostmaiden has layed eyes on them.
Before fleeing the evlen tomb immediately, Aerlyn quickly used two more questions on the mirror, not letting the chance to unravel at least some of the unfolding events pass them.
5. Aerlyn asked about all the Chardalyn they've encountered on their journey so far. They saw duergar, stealing away in the dark of night. Bringing chardalyn to a hidden fortress deep in the mountains. They saw them forging weapons of war and a gargantuan construct, a dragon made entirely of chardalyn.
6. Aerlyn asked about the Everlasting Rime. She saw a giant woman with an owl mask and a staff with a chardalyn crystal on top of it. She mounted a massive predatory bird, flying into the night sky and casting some manner of spell, emboldening the endless snowfall.

Sahnar then urged the party to move along. They made their way into the wood, towards a frozen river. There they stumbled upon the crashside of a dogsled and a Halfling, burried head frist into a mount of snow. Osric Whisperwood was a member of another adventuring party hired by Duvessa Shane. They had been looking into climbing Kelvins Cairn and speaking with Oyaminartok, a werebear goliath and local legend said to have unique insight into the happenings of the dale. Sadly they were ambushed by a yeti in a blizzard. Osric had fled the scene together with 2 dogs to go and get help, buth got lost in the storm.
As they were gathering their wits, Auril herself appeared before the heroes. She spoke to them, offering sweet eternity as part of her eternal garden of ice and the beauty she's bring. Not understanding how these mortals couldn't fathom her work and ideals. She adsressed Skalli one last time before disappearing into the snow, the the lights came creeping in. A small army of Coldlight Walkers was approaching them, wounding them severely, almost killing some. (7th question answered) They managed to flee only by Sahnar's timely arrival. He had used the last of the mirrors power to see a way to save them from this doom, only to realize a sacrifice need be made. He joined onto the battlefield with a Forbiddance spell at the ready, which he had cast on his way and struck down against the undead, subsequently ending his own existance along with theirs. "Fly you fools...".

Story:

The party has made their way back to Termalaine on their way to Lonelywood, trying to investigate about the frost druids that seem to stir unrest in Ten-towns. Stopping by their friends Martas home, the Eastside Inn, they found that Trog's caravan was currently in town and decided to pay them a visit.
Torrga Icevein's caravan consisted of three heavily laden dogsleds, each one pulled by six friendly sled dogs. One sled carried provisions and supplies for Torrga, her team, and her dogs. It flew a flag bearing the company’s emblem, a gold wolf’s paw on a black field. The other two sleds transported goods for sale, including cut wood, flint and tinder, flasks of whale oil, blankets, furs, rations, bottles of wine, casks of cheap ale, fake medicines, and vials of poison (used primarily for killing vermin).
Torg’s was an outdoor shop. Goods were unpacked and displayed in crates, with small canopies to keep the snow off them. Most of Torrga’s goods were stolen or fenced, and she sells them for double the normal price. She has a protection racket that earns her a little coin on the side, and she also commits murders for profit on the sly.
Torrga is interested only in profits, turned a blind eye to Sephek’s murderous escapades, and tried to help him as best she could without endangering her own life.
Sephek Kaltro was a well-built man in his thirties. He had an olive complexion, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, and no facial or body hair. He dressed in a stylish vest with matching pants and boots, similar in style to those worn by mariners of the southern Sword Coast, but wore no armor or cold weather clothing and didnt’t appear to be armed. His most striking feature were his eyes, which were as blue as a frozen lake.
Because he was doing the Frostmaiden’s work, Sephek didnt’t care about getting caught and wasn't shy about admitting his guilt. In combat, he wielded a magical sword and magical daggers made of ice that he could conjure at will. He was also able to freely teleport short distanced in the snow and his wounds healed in the cold outside.
As Skalli sank her teeth into the mans throat, a blood-gurgling laught escaped Sephek: “You may destroy this mortal vessel, but Ten-Towns will not escape the Frostmaiden’s embrace. My sister will see to it!”
When Sephek drew his last breath, a cloud of icy vapor escaped his body and dispersed into the night.
Torrga and her bandits, seeing no use in a continued fight, struck a deal with the party. Coin, in exchange for leaving her and her crew well enough alone and keeping their pretty little mouths shut. Otherwise the party might find themselves being unable to buy something they need or denied lodging at a local inn because the merchant or proprietor don’t want to earn Torrga’s everlasting enmity. The charakters wisely accepted.

Story:

The party have made their way onto Maer Dualdon in search of the lake monster as Tali, the half-elf reasearcher requested. “Perhaps this unending winter has affected its eating habits or demeanor in some way.” Waiting and fishing for knucklehead trout, the charakters were able to gather some information on the beast from the local wildlife and identified it as an awakened plesiosaurus. When the monster attacked the party tried to reason with it peacefully.
A reptilian head at the end of a long, slender neck rises out of the cold, dark water. The creature gazes at you intently and says, in Common, “I’m listening.”
The plesiosaurus answered straightforward questions and knew the following information:
It used to just swim around the lake and eat fish. The human who gave it this gift was named Ravisin and claimed to serve the Frostmaiden. Ravisin said it must do it's part to help the Frostmaiden, who wants the people of Bremen to suffer. It didn’t want to be a stupid beast again. (The plesiosaurus didn't know enough about druidic magic to know that its awakening is permanent.)
The plesiosaurus revealed that Ravisin instructed it to spread fear among the town’s fishers. The plesiosaurus or Nessie, as the party named it, doesn’t know where Ravisin came from or where she is now. The sharacters however have heard of rumors regarding a White Moose, terrorizing Lonelywood.
The plesiosaurus was afraid to stop what it was doing because it feared the druid might take away the gift that has been bestowed upon it. After convincing Nessie that its awakening is permanent, the plesiosaurus promised not to attack any fishers from the villages anymore.
When the characters made it back to Bremen’s docks, Grynsk showed up soon thereafter, eager to see how many knucklehead trout they caught. He honors his agreement, paying 5 cp per fish. Tali was eager to see the characters and gives the party a spell scroll of animal friendship and a pouch containing 5 gp as thanks, then headed toward Buried Treasures, the local Inn, to pore over the notes. The inn caters to treasure-seekers, specifically ones who pan for treasure along the riverbank in warmer weather. During the winter, this establishment has few, if any, visitors. The middle-aged innkeeper, Cora Mulphoon, treats her guests like royalty while trying to conceal the fact that she currently is barely making ends meet.
While resting and celebrating their success, the party have met with Marta Peskryk, a willowy teenager, innkeeper and bard of "The Eastside" Inn in Termalaine. She was down in Bremen to collect medicine for her bedridden father, Clyde, a retired fisherman.
Marta sang a peculiar song to herself:
Ahead of winter’s wind she came—
The lovely woman with no name;
Draped in a fur-lined cloak of red,
To the icy lake she fled;
The wind pursued her all the same—
As sure as night she’s dead.
She explained to the party that fifty years ago, a mysterious woman in a fur-lined red cloak stopped at the Eastside on her way to Lonelywood. Because the woman was alone and frightened, the innkeepers—a pair of retired adventurers who happened to be Marta’s grandparents—tried to console her. The woman gave them a ring as payment for their hospitality. Not long afterward, a howling wind burst into the inn and tossed the woman about like a rag doll. The innkeepers intervened, giving the woman time to escape. The evil wind battered Marta’s grandparents unconscious before resuming its hunt. That was the last anyone saw of the woman.
Marta wore the mysterious woman’s ring (which she had inherited) around her neck on a chain. It is a ring of warmth, and Marta gifted it as a good luck charm to the charakters when she was convinced they were helping t bring an end to the wintry curse that besets Icewind Dale.
Cora broke down in front of the party later the next morning while serving breakfast, unable to contain her worries. She explained briefly that her adult son and only child, Huarwar, used to help with the chores until two months ago. Her son had joined a search party to find Speaker Shalescar after he went missing during a blizzard one afternoon. The speaker was brought back safe and sound, but Huarwar got separated from the others and didn’t find his way home until the following morning. He had frostbite and could barely walk.
Over the next few days, Huarwar displayed a meanness toward his mother that was uncharacteristic. The change in his demeanor started after Cora found what looked like a shard of black ice in her son’s room. Huarwar snatched it away and threatened his mother with bodily harm if she touched it again.
The next day, two tieflings (a male and a female) arrived at the inn and offered Huarwar sanctuary in their castle. He left with them willingly, taking the shard with him and telling his mother that he would never return. The tieflings wore amulets that looked much like the shard in Huarwar’s possession. Cora misses her son terribly and she hopes he is still alive. She recalls that one of the tieflings mentioned a castle, and she knows that there are only two castles in Ten-Towns: an intact one in Caer-Dineval and a ruined one in Caer-Konig.
