Since the death of Cymril, I have taken a great interest in the fate of Neverwinter. This is about more than deposing a corrupt ruler – the fate of the region is in question. A powerful lich is operating in the area with the support of the Thayans.

As you know, killing a lich requires finding and destroying their phylactery. For the most powerful liches, the phylactery is placed in an area of importance to the lich when she was alive.

I sent out operatives to find out more about Valindra. They returned with information confirming the last known whereabouts of Valindra's former student from the Hosttower of the Arcane, a tiefling wizard called Maccath the Crimson. No one alive will know more about Valindra than her, but she hasn't been seen for three years. She was investigating the Sea of Moving Ice when she disappeared.

As I told Arlon, the Emerald Enclave is involved with investigations into recent corruption of the Gray Wolf Uthgar Barbarians.

We have always held a peace with the all the tribes of the Uthgardt, but in the recent months the more savage nature of the Gray Wolves has become problematic. They are killing for sport - disrupting the natural balance. And recently their chosen prey have been more than the beast of the plains and forests. Our investigations have revealed that they are now using the plaguelands near Morgur's Mound as a permanent camp.

Deposing their corrupted leaders presents an opportunity to restore natural balance to the Northern plains and forests. It also presents an opportunity to please those most affected by the Gray Wolves, the other Uthgardt tribes and King Melandrach of the Misty Forest. As a member of the Lord's Alliance, he could be a useful ally.

I believe discovering the truth about the Uthgardt tribes is pivotal to the future of the North. Whatever has corrupted this ancient people is a powerful force for evil.
