==NPCs, Movers and Shakers==
* '''Belmir''' - Paladin of Ilmater who went missing some decades ago
* '''Brother Clement''' - Priest of Ilmater in Neverwinter
* '''Dem Nackle''' - Priestess in Oakhurst
* '''Hasterien''' - Elf from the north with whom Belmir associated. Was researching dragon cults.
* '''Raven Queen''' - A mysterious being who rules the Shadowfell from a palace of ice deep within that dread realm. The Raven Queen watches over the world, anticipating each creature’s death and ensuring that it meets its end at the proscribed time and place. As the ruler of the Shadowfell, she dwells in a decayed, dark reflection of the world. Her ability to reach into the world is limited. Thus, she turns to mortal warlocks to serve her will. Warlocks sworn to the Raven Queen receive visions and whispers from her in their dreams, sending them on quests and warning them of impending dangers. | The Raven Queen’s followers are expected to serve her will in the world. She concerns herself with ensuring that those fated to die pass from the world as expected, and bids her agents to defeat those who seek to cheat death through undeath or other imitations of immortality. She hates intelligent undead and expects her followers to strike them down, whereas mindless undead such as skeletons and zombies are little more than stumbling automatons in her eyes.

* '''Wordwranglers''' - Snok the kobold´s clan. Aside from swiping things no one will miss, the clan has amassed a library of sorts. Out of the books gathered, only 5% are legible to the kobolds. The rest look nice with the illustrations.


==Places==
* '''Evermeet''' - Island realm of the Feywild that appears to have returned to Faerun, at least partially.
* '''Gauntlgrym''' - Dwarven city long thought lost but now recovered and recolonised, north of Mount Hotenow.
* '''Helm's Hold''' - Settlement inland and southeast of Neverwinter that houses the cathedral of Helm
* '''High Road''' - Main route North-South along Sword Coast North.
* '''Luskan''' - City to the northwest of Neverwinter along the Sword Coast, a dangerous place.
* '''Oakhurst''' - Village on the Old Road in the foothills south of Mount Hotenow. It avoided the worst of its eruption due to being in the lee of some crags.
* '''Old Road''' - Road between Neverwinter and Gauntlegrym, little used.
* '''Neverwinter''' - Jewel of the Sword Coast North. 
* '''Neverwinter Forest''' - 
* '''Mount Hotenow''' - Mountain that erupted, so it did. Its activity is said to warm the waters of Neverwinter River and so the whole region.
* '''Thundertree''' - Town in Neverwinter Forest completely destroyed by Mount Hotenow´s eruption.
* '''Waterdeep''' - City southeast of Neverwinter.

==Open Questions==
* Was Valdaris´ father killed at the wrong time? Is that how the Raven Queen appealed to him? What about his father's killer? And... did the Raven Queen know that his mother would die? 
** Xhaosdemon says: I would say being able to take away his pain and sorrow around the murder of his father is what drew him to her. The other questions are deeply philosophical....is murder somehow cheating the correct time and place of death or is it part of the weave of life and death? Maybe the death of his father's killer proved to her that he can serve her needs, to do what needs to be done sometimes regardless of moral or legal questions. Did she know about the death of his mother and withhold it? I think I will leave that one up to you....gods and goddesses have their own plans and reasons they don't share with their mortal servants.
