The Case of the Lost History: Ocean's View District

2 Nymm, 998YK
Breland, Sharn
DragonEye District


The disc slowly rises up giving you a breathtaking view across the city of Sharn and the surrounding sea. For once you are above the majority of shadows as cast by the tall towers. The disc stops and you arrive in a wide plaza designed as a small park, with beautiful scented flowers and trees around you.

People in expensive clothing wonder about you, several trailed by what appears to be servants. You spot a few city watch on the far side of the plaza and even they seem to be dressed far grander than their fellows lower down.

A shadow falls across the plaza and you look up to see the crown jewel of Sharn floating overhead.

You don't have much problem finding the address, its a small property set in its all grounds, possibly the entire top section of a tower that stretches down to the slums below, you aren't sure.

You are able to walk down the path, and approach the door. It's made of heavy wood, and inlaid with golden designs, the frame is made of carved marble. Beside the door is a bronze bell, with what looks like a silk cord hanging from it.

The bell have out a series of musical chimes, and after a few moments a liveried servant answers the door, you get the feeling that the half-elf is looking down his nose at you. "Yes, can I help you?" He said in a fastidious tone.

The man sniffed "Ah, yes the Lady said she was expecting a guess" he gave you a look over and tutted to himself "If you would follow me please" he said as he lead you into the house.

The inside didn't really match the exterior, it was full of shelves stuffed with books, scrolls and old seeming objects. Where there wasn't shelves there was boxes, and storage chests. You were led up a flight ofvstairs, where some of the steps were more scrolls that step, down a short corridor with tapestries lining the walls and into what appeared to be a study.

Much of the room was taken up by yet more book cases and stacks of book, the far end of the room was relatively empty, the main pieces of furniture being a large desk and some chairs sitting behind the desk amlost obscured behind a large book sat on a reading stand you can just make out a half-elf women seemingly absorbed in reading the book and making notes.

"Lady Daweldin, a Ms Scarmigilone to see you" the person Lady Daweldin looked up a confused expression on her face "What?  Who?" She said as her eyes fell on you and something like recognition appeared in them "Ah excellent yes, please join me" she said gesturing to a chair.

"Tea if you would, Jevrees" she said to the servant before turning back to you.

"It's nice to meet ya, Lady Daweldin, but I do have to say I'm plenty shocked ya called for me."

"Well you come highly recommended. I asked my dear friend Flicker who he'd suggest for a certain task and it was your name that came up" Lady Daweldin said "He said your the best he has and that he'd match you against someone from House Tharashk, which is no small praise"

"I want to keep you on retainer to find things for me" Lady Daweldin said "Sometimes, books, some times ancient artifacts" she came out behind the desk and you realise she is sitting in a wheelchair "You'll be well compensated and I'll not require you to prioritise my requests over your work for Flicker Investigations"

"Dei then" Valrine said smiling "Come I'll show you what I am working on currently" she said moving back round to face the open pages of the tome.

"This is supposedly a journal from one of the architects that King Galifar the first used to help rebuild Sharn" she seemed quite proud of the find "Mostly it deals with his every day troubles, conflicts at work, love and the like" I've been trying to transcribe it into something more easily readable by modern readers"

Varlrine looks at you for a long moment as if trying to decide if you were serious or not "Yes they do, but it's surprising how little we know about some of its history" she said touching the books cover "Which I suppose leads us to our first task for you" she said opening a draw and pulling out a parchment "I'm hoping you can find a different journal, it belong to a court wizard called Eldrith Shadowcaller" she handed the paper over to you "This contains the notes I have to date on him and his journal"

The note mentions that he was a wizard who lived during the time of the War of the Mark and had been part of the army that fought against House Tharkanan, and that he may have been involved in the sealing of the old city.

The journal had existed in various royal libraries, but had disappeared for some time during the last war. Rumour had it that it was now in Sharn, having been taken as loot during the war, it's possible that its currently in the university district, as the it was meant to be written in an obscure dialect.
