Notes
**Story Award: Witwulf’s “Spellbook”** You have retrieved the spellbook of Bronal Witwulf. The spellbook turned out to be an iron warhammer with an inscription that reads, “My Spellbook.” From the archives in Blodvahrer, you have learned that Bronal Witwulf was an adventurer infamous for acts of extreme strength and equally extreme lack of judgement. For a short time, his name featured prominently in the cautionary tales off Gnarhelm, but his fame has completely faded. **Story Award: Twin Destinies** While visiting the town of Bloodvahrer you came across a pair of twins, Yrsa and Gulli, who have arcane abilities. Blodvahrer is not a hospitable place for arcane casters at this time, and when the twins approached you for help in leaving town, you gave it. Traveling with the twins, even if for a short while has shown you that their powers are quickly growing in strength, but that unfortunately their control of them is not growing at an equal speed. It did however give you the chance to witness an actual rain of frogs. The twins left your company in Olafstaad to be reunited with their father who has joined a group called the Initiates of Flame. What the future holds for these two is anyone’s guess. **Moonshae Isles Faction: Initiates of the Flame** This group seeks to perpetuate the original vision that the great mage, Flamsterd, had for the Moonshaes. The Initiates are said to have been formed by the master himself from his original faithful apprentices. While most of them fell victim to power struggles and petty bickering and consequently Flamsterd’s wrath, a few stayed faithful to his vision of using their powers unselfishly to benefit their island. Some of his apprentices survived their teacher’s wrath and sought to redeem themselves by extending his vision to all of the Moonshae Isles. Once an order strictly of wizards, their message has begun to resonate with many of the heroes of the Moonshaes and now includes members of every skill. Join the Initiates if... • application of lawful doctrine is important to you • you like helping others bring order to their lives Gorm Gudbranson, father of Yrsa and Gulli, is a member of the Initiates of Flame, an organization that seeks to redeem the reputation of arcanists in the Moonshae Isles. Gorm approaches any characters who seem to share these tenets and encourages them to join, even giving them the symbolic wand that is their insignia. **Monshae Isles Faction: Moonshae Trade League** This group believes that the best way to bring power and prestige to the Moonshaes is to expand trade with other cities and nations of the Sword Coast. Originally formed by investors from Amn, recent influx of money and influence from Baldur’s Gate, Waterdeep, and Luskan have shifted attitudes. While Amn influence is still a strong force, the trade league decided it’s best if decisions were controlled by guilders actually based in the Moonshaes. Their business practices, however, have changed little, if at all. The Trade League seeks to expand their trade and holdings throughout the Moonshaes. Based primarily in Snowdown, they’ve established outposts, camps, and even villages on many of the other islands. Often, this expansion of enterprise comes at the expense of the local resources of the area, straining their relationship with the Defenders of the Earthmother. Join the Trade League if... • you are interested in obtaining wealth and assets • you like diplomacy and political intrigue Among the Halfling Snowdown merchants captured in this adventure, there is a Moonshae Trade League Ambassador. The ambassador approaches any characters who seem to share these tenets and encourages them to join, even giving them the symbolic coin that is their insignia.
