The Final Recollections of Jorg'un Dal

Karnifax Interview

The Drow Emissary seemed very exhausted from being questioned by our superiors at the Magistery. He did his best to answer our barrage of questions and follow-ups. I did not expect Rezik to be so professional. I'm sure the others will fill in where I find Karnifax's testimony less interesting. Admittedly, my own penmanship is not as *ahem* practiced as Franklin's.

Karnifax is from Ched Nasad, a former Drow city that was destroyed by a cave-in (becoming much more common in the Underdark). Karnifax was recruited by House Melarn, and is trying to join them because Melarn seems "less crazy and murderous" than the other Drow houses.
House Melarn, a "young" house is allied with other smaller houses. Houses Kenafain and Horlbar follor Melarn's lead, for now. If any Drow house would accept Magistery rule, it would be House Melarn. House Duskryn, a ruthless meritocracy with a Master leading, may be amenable to recruitment to Melarn's side if the Magistery can offer something comparable to being a Ruling 8 house.
Menzobarranzan's Ruling 8 is lead by House Baenre. The ruling matron is, on the surface, Yvonnel. Since the ruling clerics of Lolth have lost their divine abilities, they have tried to hide this crippling loss of power. However, long before the Silence of Lolth, Gromph has been the de-facto ruler of House Baenre. Karnifax mentioned several times how strong Gromph is to be able to control a house BEFORE Lolth's Silence. Lord Dyrr may be the only mage that could challenge Gromph.
The Drow have many enemies in the Underdark. The Illithids have been a constant antagonist, but now the encroaching demons and devils are pushing into the Underdark, possibly due to the planar alignment affecting us, according to Karnifax. The Illithids are interested in the artifact we know as the Training Dungeon, which is MUCH more than we think it is, but Karnifax was ignorant to how.
For our meeting with Halisstra Melarn, we should be weary of sedition from other houses. If one of the other houses is attempting to spy or sabotage our meeting "we'll never know who", according to Karnifax. We will not know what Halisstra looks like, nor will we have a password as eloquent as "Hune's head on a spike". The "chosen" may be recruited by drow houses offering "redemption". These half-drow half-spider beings are VERY hateful and are looking for a way to feel less cursed, but are NOT amenable to negotiations.
The Golden City of Elves guards our world against the Shadar-Kai (they do NOT like being called "Forsaken"). The Shadar-Kai forsook Corellon for Lolth, and then again forsook Lolth for Corellon. They have come to be called The Nightshade Kingdom, also known as Shadowfell. In turn, the Shadar-Kai guard against the Underdark's intrusion. Karnifax warns us to be weary of parlay with the Shadar-Kai, for they may change their dispositions toward us several times.

That is all I can recall from our lengthy interview with Karnifax. I offered him a relaxing game of Dragonchess if he needed more friendly interactions. I hope this can become the beginning of a sustained acquaintanceship and diplomatic relationship.

Hunting Imphraezl

Now, we are off to hire House Dal for support in tracking down Imphraezl and stopping this Chaos Curse. I'll give Franklin a chance to show how he commands and cares for those under his charge.

We're off. I will be back later to update on Imphraezl's death and further investigation. We'll be bruised and scarred, but the after-quest ale will heal all wounds!

Recollections by Avant

Recollections of Kaylorr

Imphraezl got away. Mission was a failure. We lost Jorg today. Lots of info but the grief is too much. As such I leave you with the haikus I wrote in memory of Jorg.

Enduring soldier
Symbol of righteous fury
Green flame will burn strong

Great sword of power
Uncanny strength unrivaled
One with the fire

Mentor of Franklin
Destroyer of all evil
Never forgotten

Refrigerator
Mighty warrior was he
Will be remembered
