XVIII-XX
Overview
Getting around in Starsong Hill, Lanikar's funeral.
Hunter's priviledges
Meeting with the leader of Tiri Kitor elves, Sellyria Starsinger was warm and welcoming. You found out that these people value hunters over everything, and you proved yourselves to be powerful and trustworthy on that matter.
It turned out that Sellyria had once served in the same druidic circle as The Ghostlord.
Day of the funeral
Lanikar's funeral was a gathering of what seemed to involve all of the elves of the Blackfens. Starsong Hill was full of visitors, 100 % elves. With one exception. More about that later.
Trellara Nightshadow did perform the burial ritual, which was touching and elegant. After that, informal performances of all kind took place and lasted late in the night. Lute, Lestra and Onni did contribute to the event and won many friends. Trellara herself got into talks with Lute, asking they to tell stories of the lands beyond the Blackfens. "I'd like to go on an adventure, too. If it would be possible to join a group of heroes, I'd be interested", Trellara whispered.
The feline entity from Nine Hells
At the morning of the funeral day, a rumour was spreading among the hunters. Vadravu would come to respect Lanikar's memory.
It turned out to be more than just a fellow elf from afar. When she arrived, it was almost impossible to avoid seeing her, head taller than even the biggest elves, muscular, athletic, surrounded by an aura of magic and awe, terrifying sight all in all.
A rakshasa.
Embodiment of pure evil. Enemy of The Silver Flame. Known for their tendency to scheme behind kings, demons and factions, and there she was, walking among cheering elves, smiling to everyone, hugging friends and high-fiving with kids.
When approached, you had to struggle to keep your self-confidence up, so deep was her look when she was perceiving you.
Her speech sounded like firewood crackling in a bonfire. Her lines of the conversation were about this:
We hate dragons
This black dragon here is not important. The true dragons, our eternal enemies, are dormant
After a successful persuation roll:
I am not familiar with this Red Hand. The Red Hand can be just a brand to cover something else
You should find out who really is behind it all
After showing the idol of Cults of the Dragon Below
(Laughing) You ought to be very careful with this matter. Cults of the Dragon Below is not about the Dragons, not at all
After asking "Do you know who is behind the Cults of the Dragon Below" Vadravu ceased to interact with you and addressing Lestra only said:
Bring the head of Regiarix to the temple of Vulkoor
Developments
Next morning, you borrow boats from Sellyria and start sailing toward Rhest.
