= The White King = 

== Summary ==

The party journeys along the Southern Reach Road, along the northern border of the Dire Fens, to the town of Asala, in the west of Athervon, where Darithe hopes to receive absolution from the Abbot of a monastery there.  But they find the town under the curse of a terrible creature, called "The White King", or sometimes "The Pale Lord", which rises once per generation to abduct children in the town and killing any that would stop it.  The party investigates, calling on the monks of the Abbey d'Ortou and researching their library.  Darithe also speaks with the Abbot of the monastery, and is given the quests that she must complete in order to absolve herself of the murder she has committed: first, to stop the reign of the creature in the town forever; and second, to bring her former Guildmaster in her hometown of Belis-ar-Weil, Fergasse, and his gang to the King's justice for their crimes.  The party discovers that one family in the town - the Auvrays - have been a particular target for this creature for every generation it has appeared, tracing back the family tree to the time of the Jhonian occupation, where the records cease.  They visit the Auvray House, offering their protection and help in defeating the monster that preys upon the family's heirs - only to be viciously attacked in the mansion by the family itself!
