The party should now be 6th level.
Threads from previous gaming sessions in no particular order;
> There was a giant-made clockwork mechanism related to the moons of Eberron located in the main hall of the Hecate Estate, you found an additional part of that mechanism disassembled in the hidden vault below the bay.
When we had last left your group you had just freed the orc village to the northeast of the Hecate Estate near the ruins of Yarkuun Draal. These orcs were the descendants of Ghaash’Kala orcs that had maintained a seal on an active gate to Xoriat located somewhere in the Goblin city below and they had been enslaved by Hecate’s followers to rework the stone circle and seal. Lord Hecate and his followers had re-arranged the standing stones and the seal to align with a seal located in the Bay of Stormreach in an attempt to free Dagon through a ritual which would have seen the power for that seal leeched to this location. The last village shaman of Ghaash’Kala died two generations ago and there are no Gatekeepers or faithful left in the village that can repair the seal. The orcs did agree to start moving the stone back to their original locations. Torbrand suggested traveling to the Shadow Marches to search for a shaman that can reactivate the seal before something in Xoriat tries to come through.
> Find a Ghaash’Kala Gatekeeper shaman that can seal the gate to Xoriat
> Collect your loot which was handed over to a fisherman and Sister Garaele (whom you know is a reluctant priest of Dagon) and transported to Zilspar to the west.
> 13 dragonmarked heirs have disappeared from Zilspar and the surrounding regions and you have discovered from the two captive warforged that were working the lift at the Hecate Estate that these heirs had been traded to representatives of the Lord of Blades in the Mourneland.
> You do not know much about Lord Gustavus Hecate other than he was human, had a close relationship with the last King of Khorvaire, was an explorer that disappeared in Xen’drik before the war and that he and his expedition crew walked out of the mists on the Day of Mourning. The few members of his expeditionary crew you have met have all be transformed in some way (i.e. the monk butler with the scarab in his chest). Lord Hecate seems to embed shards in the chest of his close followers so he can track them (Sister Garaele had removed hers last you saw of her). The drow in charge of recovering the creation forge in Wave Echo Cave also had a shard. Hecate was also obsessed with trying to bring his wife back to life. You have removed the amulet that was maintaining and preserving her corpse.
> Hecate has an airship (think zeppelin not House Lyrander elemental vessel) and is supposed to be in the Mourneland now.
