What the Party Knows (Leads/Quests):
> The party found a magic long sword (Talon) that is an heirloom to one of the noble houses of Breland. Talon was wielded by the Brelish knight Aldith Tresender (the Blackhawk) and was lost with Aldith during the uprising lead by Haruuc 30 years ago. Arielle knows the Tresender family has fallen on hard times, but still has influence as one of the sixty families that lead Sharn.
> The burned blood gem with the sigil found embedded in the chest of the drow Nezznar (The Black Spider) can most easily be identified through researched in Sharn. An alchemist, or possibly a diviner, will be needed to render the sigil visible.
> The orcs and hobgoblins on horseback that have plagued the region around Stoneholt (Phandelver) appear to have been coming from the South and were headed North using the Seawall Mountains to skirt Breland and Sterngate. They were headed in the direction of New Cyre. From the region near New Cyre, the party determined that these raiding groups were entering the Mournland. Sildar is currently interrogating the forces captured by the party at Sterngate to determine their purpose for entering the Mournland.
> These orcs appear to be equipped with ancient arms and armor from the Dhakaani ruins of Yarkuun Draal (a goblin port city during the height of the Dhakanni Empire). The orcs were descendants of Gatekeepers that maintained an active seal located Yarkuun Draal.
> Yarkuun Drall is known to still contain may of the riches abandoned by the goblins as hordes of Daelkyr over-ran their city during the fall of the Dhakaani Empire. Adventurers tend to avoid the place, believing it cursed. Yarkuun Draal is known for being easy to find, but hard to leave once you are in its vicinity.
> There is a secret House Cannith research lab/base somewhere in the Mournland, you have a map to its location. This appears to be where the House Cannith smiths that created the magical prototype forge in the Phandelver Mines originated. It is highly possible Baron Merrix d’Cannith of Cannith South is unaware of this location and would therefore be interested in any information you wish to reveal.
> The remains of Bowjangle’s spellbook which was acquired by Sister Garaele’s master lies at the hilt of the cleaving blade [Leander told the party that Yarkuun Draal means Cleaving Blade in Dhakaani]. Her master appears to have been trying to resurrect his wife. By all accounts he was human and this event took place over 100 years ago. Sister Garaele was also human and thought her master still lived or at least walks about in some undead form. The party found a alter to the demon lord Dagon in the small shrine to the Sovereign Host Sister Garaele maintained in Stoneholt.
