Weird Statue
There is a weird statue in the speaker hall. This object is actually the figurehead of a ship and is carved in the likeness of a winged demon. It stands 8 feet tall. A band of adventurers used a telekinesis spell to raise the figurehead from the depths of Lac Dinneshere a few months ago and hauled it to Easthaven, hoping for a reward. What they got was hardly worth the effort, and Speaker Danneth Waylen doesn't know what else to do with the figurehead except store it here, out of the public eye. He fears the figurehead is tainted by demonic magic and has warned his staff not to touch it.
We determined it is indeed a desecrated object.
When we went to inspect it at night, we found some Gray Dwarves taht broke into the speaker's hall, killed the guards, and were trying to steal pieces of the statue. We defeated the Dwarves and captured one of them. The main dwarf Durth Sunblight(dead) was killed. We captured the one named Klaska.
There was also a crying wet ghost near the statue. We ignored her for hours until we were ready to speak to her where she initiated combat against us. We defeated her.
The following morning we arrested and interrogated Klaska.
White Lady Inn
We talked to a bard called Rinaldo that told us about The White Lady's Treasure. He then let us do a seance with the White Lady. We asked her if we could defeated Auril the Frostmaiden and if we could get the location of the treasure(asked this in at least 4 different ways). The White Lady said no to all the above.

Found a drawing showing frost giants wading up a river to a cavern that contains a hot spring, in which they drown themselves.
Bremen
Town where the wife Cynthia of the headless guy resides.
Bryn Shander
This is where the Council Of Speakers intervenes.
Council Of Speakers
Each town is an independent settlement that elects a leader, or speaker, to represent its interests at meetings of the Council of Speakers, which are infrequent and take place at the Council Hall in Bryn Shander. These meetings are called to discuss matters of shared interest and to settle disputes between towns.
Dougan's Hole
- Learned from the barkeep in Good Mead that people live in fear of winter wolves that are the size of horses and smarter then normal wolves.
- Lots of people are incestuous in this town.
- Lead by the speaker Edgra Durmoot.
Twenty Stones of Thruun
Standing at the southern edge of town, nineteen of these crudely fashioned granite menhirs are arranged in a rough triangle, with a single stone at the formation's center. No one knows who built this structure or why; the townsfolk maintain that the stones were there when the town's founder, a Chondathan named Dougan Dubrace(dead), first happened upon this fishing spot. Scholars have tried to research the origin of the structure's name, but all they have found are allusions to a creature named Thruun in the oldest legends of the northern folk. Some speculate that Thruun was a god, while others believe it's a destructive elemental spirit bound to this location by ancient druidic magic.
Good Mead

- Kendrick Rielsbarrow, the speaker of this town, was murdered.

Shrine of the Flaming Sword
- Where the body of the Kendrick was laid to rest.
- Jewo Flasted learned the following lore of this shrine:
- The shrine was built over a century ago, when the town's rivalry with Dougan's Hole raged so fiercely that the lake, a frequent battlefield, became known as Redwaters. For a time thereafter, nearly all residents of Good Mead paid homage to Tempus. Today, the shrine's relevance has dwindled to the point where it's mainly used just for town gatherings.
Elections
- There was 2 potential candidates to replace Kendrick Rielsbarrow:
- Olivessa however quit running and was replaced by the party.

Lost Spire Of Metheril
Piece of the floating castle known as Metheril. It appears to have broken off and embedded itself into the ground.
The rune chamber that brought back Dzaan to life can also be used for illusionary objects or creatures. However this one is damaged so it might not work properly.
Xardorok's Fortress
Secret fortress hidden in the mountains. Belongs to Xardorok Sunblight. We know where it lies as we found a secret map leading to it.

Ythryn
A lost ancient city. Dzaan is looking for it.
Dzaan's Treasure
Status: Complete
A treasure that Dzaan supposedly found. Told to us by Imdra Arlaggath. Eventually we found the entrance to this location and entered it. We found out this place is known as Lost Spire Of Metheril. Here we found a lot of lore in the library:
- Magical Wonders of Netheril. This book is a collection of interviews with Netherese archmages, who discuss their studies of ancient elven magic and the creation of mythallars. The book includes sketches of such devices. A mythallar looks like an enormous crystal ball held in an ornate cradle. The globe sheds bright light in a 300-foot radius and dim light for an additional 300 feet. The globe draws magic from the Weave that can be harnessed for various purposes. For example, Netherese mages used mythallars to keep their cities aloft and empower their magic items. The bigger the mythallar, the more magic it can hold. The largest mythallars are 150 feet in diameter.
- Mysteries of the Phaerimm. This book sheds light on the Phaerimm-telepathic, funnel-shaped monsters of malevolent intellect that lurk in the Underdark-and includes disturbing sketches of them.
- Wizards in the Hollow. The birth of the Netherese empire is chronicled in this otherwise dull, plodding story about the lives of three Netherese wizards.
- Ajamar's Guide to the Phantastic. This breezy, lighthearted treatise on illusion magic was required reading in many Netherese classrooms. It describes clever ways to use common illusion spells.
- The Unfettered Mind. This lunatic text discusses how one might exist solely as a disembodied brain, preserved for eons in a magical suspension fluid. It includes sketches of brains in jars.
- From Shadow, Substance. This speculative work discusses how one might harness the Weave to turn an illusory object or creature into its real counterpart, with commentary and criticism from noteworthy Netherese illusionists.
- Here Lies the King. This elaborately plotted novel features an illusionist who uses magic to impersonate a prince, supplant a king, rule a fictional kingdom for sixty-one years, and fake his own death.
- Ventatost. This book uses testimonials and conspiracy theories to piece together events leading up to the destruction of a Netherese city called Ventatost, which disintegrated as it flew over the forest of Cormanthor nearly two thousand years ago, before the fall of Ythryn.
- Lost Scrolls of Sabreyl. Written in Elvish
Found a room of silence. We found an amulet that we didn't pick up until later. We finally met Dzaan's simulacrum and Krintaas. They asked us to help them resurrect Dzaan and we did. We got rewarded for this with some money and a book that disintegrated.
We later picked up the amulet.

Described the people that went missing: they worked for him and used the boat called the Unsinkable IV. Missing Fisherman were known as Sasha, Derek, Jessica, Jim.
We went out to the lake with the captain, eventually we found the Unsinkabale IV with no crew near The Caverns Of Lac Dinneshere. We then went into the caverns searching them. In there we found drawings(see specific article). We found a wolf which we defeated. Also found a skeleton entombed in ice. It broke out of the ice so we also defeated it.

Following the footsteps we were eventually led to the lodge where the wolves were hiding out.
