stevekensonChapter 5: Shadows of Wroat
The party arrives via lightning rail in Wroat, the capitol of Breland, on their way to Sharn, the fabled City of Towers. Gran the orc druid discovers Prof. Namuras is missing, but his belongings are still in the coach, along with a note from someone asking him to meet in the dining coach of the lightning rail at midnight. A search makes it clear the Professor has been abducted by parties unknown, and the characters inform the City Watch, which begins and investigation.
Lady Elyadren d’Cannith offers to assist and enages an associate from House Tharashk, who locates the Professor in the Citadel, headquarters of the Dark Lanterns, Breland’s intelligence service. Before Lady Elyadren can bring any House Cannith pressure to bear, she, too is abducted, her warforged bodyguard Bulwark badly damaged, although he manages to reach the characters and tell them what happened.
Their investigation reveals Elyadren’s kidanapper is Baron Jorlanna, head of a rival House Cannith faction, rather than the Dark Lanterns. With the aid of Mor’tok d’Tharashk, they find her on a ship anchored on the Howling River. The party rescues Elyadren and narrowly escapes incineration when Jorlanna’s wizard hurls a fireball at them.
Arrested by the City Watch and taken into custody, they’re released when Elyadren’s faction of the dragonmarked house supports them and Jorlanna’s refuses to press the issue. They get a visit in the gaol from a changing agent of the Dark Lanterns, who tells them they’ve learned what they needed from Professor Namuras and warns them about the dangers of the territory they’ve entered. The Mournland is a valuable prize, one many nations and factions will do anything to control....
