PLOT
Dagult Neverember hires party to investigate the disappearance of high-ranking nobles in Neverwinter
-- Eldon Keyward, Indrina Lamsensettle, Sarcelle Malinosh, Umberto Noblin
Discover a cult of Vecna.
-- The cult is kidnapping (and sacrificing?) individuals with secrets.
Rescue three individuals from the cult.
Stop cult from performing a ritual to steal Eldon's secrets.
In so doing, shunted to Evernight, a gloomy version of Neverwinter in the Shadowfell.
-- Receive Vecna’s Link, which ties your fate to that of the lich-god.
Learn of Dolindar Tomb
Discover gate back to Neverwinter
Secrets
-- Indrina collected info from skilled genealogists and assembled proof that Lord Neverember isn’t descended from Neverwinter’s great hero, Lord Nasher Alagondar, as he claims.
-- Sarcelle saw a vision of a desiccated figure of a man levitating off the ground, gathering evil energy around himself in glowing wisps. The desiccated man then screamed and the energy exploded, causing something terrible to happen.
-- Umberto is a historian of Vecna, it’s all he can talk about. He discusses his latest clandestine research project: the ancient rivalry between Vecna and his treacherous lieutenant, the vampire Kas. The historian has kept this research to himself so other scholars don’t beat him to publication; Umberto knows he’s a slow writer.
