=== 2: Our Conversation with Reshi ===
We knew our journey would take us from Solace, to [[The Golden City of Elves]], to [[The Nightshade Kingdom]], at which point we would enter the portal to the [[Underdark]]; but we just knew broad strokes and not exact directions or even who our contacts in these regions would be. 

[[Reshi]], seemed to know exactly where to go, though. She led us confidently through the forest (which seemingly came out of nowhere and was so thick it was hard to see through). 

As we were walking, [[Reshi]] gave us a history lesson on the region, the [[Underdark]], and what we could expect. I've summarized and bulleted some of her thoughts below:

# [[The Nightshade Kingdom]] is the overlap of the [[Plane of Shadows]] and our Plane. Similarly, [[The Golden Forest]], is the overlap of the [[Feywild]] and our Plane.
# We expect time to be different in the Feywild - it could be faster or slower, we're not really sure. 
# [[Lolth]], was known as [[Lolth|Aurashnee]]. She backstabbed Corellon and was forced to leave Arvandor, taking on the name of [[Lolth]]. The elves that followed [[Lolth]] at first, but tried to turn back to [[Corellon]] after she backstabbed him became the [[Shadar-Kai]]. 
# [[The Raven Queen]] is the Queen of [[The Nightshade Kingdom]] and is also the God of Death. She killed [[Nerull]] and stole his [[Divine Spark]]. 
# The changing of Divine Sparks and upsetting of the balance is what lead to the [[The Great Awakening|awakening of the Kraken]]. 

While we were walking through the forest, suddenly the [[Magistery Rings]] that the Disciples and Adepts were wearing starting to flash red. They seemed concerned and quickly huddled to whisper to each other. 

Reshi grabbed us and told us that the flashing means that they are being recalled back to the Magistery. She told us that the last time the red's dispensation was called was the great awakening. 

We were given an option. Join the disciples and adepts back to the Magistery to deal with whatever had triggered the alarm, or forge forward alone & on our own.
