Gabriel's fate

We searched the body of the victim and found a holy symbol of the Silver Flame, some money and an expensive Darkweave cloak. Also identification papers that reveal him as Gabriel ir’Davarask of Wroat, Breland. A careful search of the cloak revealed a letter stitched into the lining. We had time to search ir'Davarask and the unconcious form of our attacker and to read the letter before the local constabulary arrived. If I ever want to murder someone I will definitely bring them to Bloodfall.

Friends
Excuse this hastily scribbled note. It was my intention to inform you of the specifics of the job during our meeting at The Five Ravens, however, as you are reading this then the situation has gone poorly for me. You must trust to the information revealed herein; the lives of many good folk - and the soul of a great man - depend upon my mission’s completion: a task that is now appointed as yours.

I shall be as brief as possible. Within the sunken crypts south of Bloodfall I have hidden an artifact that belongs to a great man, once of Cyre, now relocated against his will to Starilaskur Asylum. The artifact appears to be a fist-sized emerald, glowing with an inner light, but is altogether more than this, containing as it does the memories of a man known to a handful of watchers – yourselves now included – as Zanilath d’Cannith.

Yet there are others that wish to claim Zanilath’s memories – memories that relate directly to the fall of Cyre and the events relating to what happened on The Day of Mourning. I don’t doubt that your path will be shadowed, hence my decision to hide The Eye of The Last Hour in a place no-one would ever think to look for it. If I have fallen then my notion to do so has been proved correct. The artifact must not be allowed to fall into the wrong hands.

I bid you venture to the sunken Bloodfall Church, recover the gem and take it to Starilaskur Asylum. Beware the guardians of the crypt which I inadvertently stirred with my passage, they now unknowingly defend something far more valuable than the bones of those long gone.

Be ever watchful, friends.
Gabriel ir’Davarask.
Guardian of Truth

It seems that we have a place to search. Hopefully we will raise enough money to at least get us to the nearest city.
