466 The Second Day TehLulu I've come to the Pathfinder's new base in search of information. It seems that he has lost perhaps 3 men to banditry, and I wish to know their names. Zevandir is one who left to become a bandit. Tailon left, but is an Elven Lord, so Kalen does not believe him a bandit. I've come here after informing High Prince Native of the dangers at hand. He is quite kind, and more than willing to assist me in finding the culprits. The Black Guard was started by Zevandir in hopes of converting the Pathfinders to bandits. That is why I saw Val the Pathfinder claiming himself a Black Guard. Val was supposedly tricked, and Atles has agreed to vouch for him that he has changed his ways. The Pathfinders are still, and always shall be, loyal to the Prince and the nation. Lord Atles serves in Lord Blackthorn's stead. Until his return. Lord Atles claims he found something far north of the boundaries of Oren. Some sort of dark village, with lava at the gates. But I do not know if I believe him. Pathfinder Kalen states that town is only the town of North Alister. Kalen reports seeing strange, dark beings walking about, with cloaks pulled about their faces. Could these have been members of the Dark Brotherhood Lafthi mentioned? Kalen is a bit hard to understand, but he claims a group of the cloaked individuals Attacked Laurelin at some point. Present here are Swift Elf Alenom, Pathfinder Kalen, and Lord Atles. I've run into many of the Princes of Laurelin at Ravenhold, and the HighGuardian, Mayctor He claims the Dark Brotherhood are no threat. He refuses to tell me how he knows of this fact, which I find very suspicious. Oh my, the princes have trapped me in a box...hold on. Ergh. The Princess has freed me, luckily. Mayctor has informed me the Brotherhood seeks alliances with the "do-gooder" guilds. Could they be behind the Cripsons assault on a Holmes fellow? I'll have to talk to LAfthi. Macytor is a worshipper of Iblees, this much must be true He cannot be allowed to get away with this. He guarantees the safety of the elves, on Iblees' name.
