Following are all the notes and specific information found in the Trials of the Forgotten Relics campaign.
Attack at the Stonehelm Estate
Coin found by Sarya on one of the attackers in front of the Golden Gryphon Tavern. The coin doesn’t look like a currency to be used in trading, but rather a token used in identification or accessing something.
The Tomb of Kendac Godrisi
Symbol found on some of two dead priests in the catacomb beneath Waukeen's temple.
Letter found on Alysia, the red witch which the adventurers fought in the tomb of Kendac Godrisi.
| Sister,
You are needed yet again. After all these months, the key to the old tomb has finally been found. Get the acolytes ready and make your way to the entrance of the tomb and wait there without stirring all the hornet’s nest. We can’t face the helmets just yet. Fear not, the day will come when we will be wielding the full power of the artifact, and none will stand in our way. We will cleanse the world of its darkness and embrace the radiance of our Majestic Redeemer. I will be at the wedding reception. I have taken preparations to deal with the young wizard and her cohort. She thinks she is so smart by setting traps, but there won’t be anything there to help her this time. And I am sure that no one will suspect me. After the deal is done, meet me at the guardian’s perch, beneath the wings of amber and we can proceed with the next phase. The Shai Speaker has been called. Make ready, our salvation awaits. Lord S. |
The Spectral Guardian
The party met a ghostly apparition in the tomb that could either be the spirit of Kendac Godrisi himself or a protector spirit.
- The guardian granted the party the Blessing of the Watchful Eye. It is not known what it means.
- The blade of guardian, a two handed greatsword, was given to the party to wield it.
- There are things in motion that cannot be unstopped. The guardians told the adventurers that it falls upon their shoulders to remake the "Defiler" and find a way to undo it.
- The ones that arrived before the adventurers stole something from the chamber that needs to be retrieved.
Finding answers
- The party inquired with Isolde Ravenshadow, the information broken of the Ebonheart Guildhall, finding that "Wings of Amber" may mean an ancient golden gryphon which was the mount of the Chosen One, the leader of the Cult of the Serpent that waged war 300 years ago. The tavern with the same name may be named in its memory.
- Chloe has been accused of killing priests at the temple, but Grendar believes that she was set up and accused too easily. Something is wrong at the Ironhall Keep.
- By spending a night in the Starmantle Library, Wintson found out that the symbol with the eye falls under the Conspiracy Theories category about a secretive group that had something to do with the Great Cataclysm. There is not specific information about it.
Golden Gryphon Tavern - The Torture Chamber
Letter found on a dead guard on a torture chair.
| M'Lady Elara,
I regret to inform you that recent developments have led to my removal from the case we've dedicated so much to. My collaboration with General Fenlee, who has now been found guilty of treason, has cast a shadow over my involvement, regardless of my intentions or loyalty to our cause. This has left me in a precarious position, as any association with him now questions one's allegiance. I will continue to work in whatever capacity I can to support our cause, albeit from the shadows for now. Your guidance and extensive knowledge regarding the cult's operations during this turbulent time would be invaluable. With steadfast loyalty, Flint Bramblethorn |
