Chapter One: Shadow of Tarsis [/center]
Western Ansalon
Solamnia
Twelfthmonth, as it is known in Palanthas
Frostkolt to the rest of Solamnia at large
Master Coryn puts another couple of logs in the furnace in the
master’s study as she watches the temperature drop. Coryn
Brinewater is from the Icewall; she knows cold, but it seems
there is a draft coming in that she has yet to track down.
Hiram has moved into the Tower for the winter months; Coryn has
a few other neighbors who live with her now in the Tower. Three
from the Academy of Sorcery from Solace, that being Lyra from
Haven, the oldest of the group, Ann of Solace, Emma Xela from
North Keep, and Erik of Gateway. Haley Skytracker has been
serving as a head instructor for Tower.
A Red Robe Wizard by the name of Marcellus Aldridge has moved in
as well. he mostly stays to himself, but is not antisocial; he
will join them every once in a while. Coryn is waiting for
Master Karnea to return to take the books she has roped off in
the Library of Nightlund. Except for these dark tomes, the Red
Robe has been allowed to investigate the library in his own
time. He has provided his services to the school, teaching a
class or two at the Nightlund school located within the Tower.
It has been wondered about what exactly he is up to. Hiram, for
one, is not a great admirer of the Red Robe and his mysterious
ways. He has watched him like a hawk, but nothing has ever come
of it, and so the white robe has backed off a bit and has tried
to become even more random in his observations, and still
nothing.
Palanthas,
Of the three Masters, Coryn is more active than the other three.
The lesson she learned in Tarsis was learned, but she feels she
has to chance her travels if they are deemed important enough to
handle in person; otherwise, she has let Hiram take the lead on
the operations and oversee the different schools of Solamnia.
For now, Coryn travels the streets of Palanthas to the jail and
talks to the captain.
Soon, Coryn and Moptop Bristlebrow are having lunch at Coryn’s
Manor, which was passed to Coryn by Jenna. Coryn is explaining
to the kender the assignments she wants done. Coryn has several
kender in her employ, but Moptop Bristlebrow is her most
reliable of her kender scouts. Coryn coaxes the information she
hired him to get for her before he was put in jail. Coryn can
get through the clutter and pick up the information she wants.
She has been gathering information on the duke’s wrongdoings.
The State of Solamnia is an utter disaster in how the power has
fallen to these Dukes; they have split the knighthood's armies
to defend their fiefdoms.
She has been thinking of ways in which they can rid Solamnia of
these terrible leaders. Her nights with Jaymes, they have mused
what it would take to rid them of the dukes, and how they could
bring Solamnia back into prominence again.
Coryn asks Moptop Bristlebrow if he is ready, and he says that
he is. They travel the paths of magic to Thelgaard and send him
on his mission inside. Moptop knows a secret way inside. Coryn
teleports back to the Tower of Nightlund.
The master’s study,
Coryn has thought about their encounter in Tarsis a lot over the
last couple of days. She wonders about the lost time that she,
Highmage Jenna, and others of our group experienced in the room
of the headmaster in Tarsis. She wonders about the accounting
Master Karnea gave them after the fact. Even Jenna was spooked.

vol. I
Story Two: The White Witch
Chapter Two: Order Business [/center]
Solinari is in Waxing
Twelfthmonth, as it is known in Palanthas
Frostkolt, as it is known in Solamnia
The Tower of Nightlund in the Province of Nightlund of Solamnia
Coryn received missives from Karnea and the Headmaster about
their representatives. Madon of the Red Robe, and Nalas of the
Black Robe of Silvanesti, Dark Elf Male Agent of Master Karnea,
Former Apprentice of Dalamar. Her own choice for the White Robe
representative is Leila DiThon of Northern Ergoth.
Coryn entertains the Renegade Hunter Grandmaster Jarren and his
Hunters, and instructs them to back up Leila DiThon
Coryn then hosts Lady Leila DiThon. Leila already knows she has
been chosen to deal with the Handover; Coryn just wanted her to
know that she would be protected by the Grandmaster, and the
White Robe Hunter, as well as the Red and Black Hunters.
“I’m told to tell you to stay clear of the blonde in white,
named Morgan. It is said she is another level”
Leila nods and says she read the dossier on the planned
operation; the one you speak of is pointed out in Jenna’s
report. It says she is wildly dangerous. Leila tells Coryn she
will give this Morgan "a wide latitude when it comes to her
coming and going, please tell me we don’t have to take her into
custody.”
“No, she has blanket protection from Master Karnea; they are
being allowed to depart to wherever they want to go.
“Where do they want to go, Leila asks,
Coryn’s eyebrows knit together, and she says, “Wherever they
want to go, though I am sure there are overtures in the
diplomatic papers in that brown satchel from Wayreth.”
Leila answers, “One from Highmaster Jenna, and one from Master
Karnea I’m told is being held by Nalis”
Coryn tells Leila, “I think Analis and Morgan are going to
surprise us all wherever they do end up.”
Leila departs the Tower, and heads to her Palanthas Home, and
makes final preparations to meet with Master Dalamar.
In the early evening, Coryn and her entourage staff gathered
with the cooks and came up with hors d'oeuvres to be enjoyed at
a planned gathering. Some wizards from the White Order came to
the Tower of Nightlund and discuss Maters with the Master of the
White Order.
Coryn is determined to inspire the populace to benefit from
sending their brightest, for the honor of Solamnia, yes, but
for the Magic ultimately. She notices that the Solamnic
Kingfishers have dined to not graced us with their presence;
that is something to be addressed in the future.
Jemond Farseer of Solanthus brings up the old Lyceum as
something that High Sorcery must reclaim. Coryn is a bit of a
lost; she looks to Hiram, who goes on to explain what he knows
about the Lyceum.
It is a structure located on a sandpit on the northern coastline
of the Estwilde region in the Qlettaar province, eastwards of
the city of Kalaman. Formerly a school of magic for apprentice
wizards and a storehouse of magical knowledge.
Before the Cataclysm, the Lyceum was sealed with magical wards
before it was abandoned. There is no telling what is still there
and what is lost.
Coryn tells Jemond she will bring it up to the Conclave and
agree they need to investigate. But she reminds the order:
“We are still small in number and have very big missions coming
up. One is the handover of the City of Lost Names, where we will
have to garrison some wizards to keep it out of anyone’s hands.
There are inquiries as to what is at the City of Lost Names that
needs to be protected, but Coryn puts an end to the speculation,
saying that it is between the Masters of the Conclave.
The last bit of business before they leave.
Henrad Winestaff of Palanthas is called forward. Coryn puts it
to the order to decide if Henrad Winestaff is the right choice
to become the representative to the triumvirate council of the
Chapterhouse of Palanthas. The order votes in full, endorsing
Henrad Winestaff to represent the Order’s business in Palanthas.
