So far, so last update. Here comes the stuff we didn't know. I presume the githyanki have come to Faerun to recover the shards. Plot Point 2: we broke the githyanki's silver sword. These swords are rare and highly prized. They are given by the Lich Queen to only the greatest of githyanki knights. Plot Point 3: we are so screwed. I think this is Obsidian poking fun at the fact that githyanki silver swords are always popping up as special treasures all over the place, always being used as plothooks for stories involving the githyanki.
If a player ever finds a silver sword just hanging around in a dungeon or some nobleman's vault, he can expect a group of githyanki knights to warp in almost immediately and try to kill him. The reason for this is because players never decide to give the silver sword back to the githyanki. A lot of people are under the misapprehension that the silver sword is an instant-death superweapon that can cut through any enemy in a single blow.
I blame Baldur's Gate 2 for this. Plot Point 4: Ammon Jerro is our next objective. He was a nice fellow Had the largest collection of noisy, exotic birds, made quite a racket, you know, chirping and squawking I'm disappointed to see Obsidian buying into the same old tedious anti-intellectual narrative tropes.
It's not that new; anti-intellectualism has been around since the Middle Ages, when those who wrote and read books monks, humanists, philosophers, theologians, lawyers were seen as weak, effeminate and dishonorable, as compared to strong and studly warrior-knights and other landowners.
Modern anti-intellectualism has other root sources - the long-time distrust of academia for its left-wing attitudes during the Cold War; certain kinds of religious fundamentalists and other kooks who make unscientific, unsupportable claims; underachieving nobodies who spent all their time playing sport while I studied chemistry and engineering and will have a great career someday. Anyone with any degree of intelligence or wit is immediately put down as someone physically frail, socially inept, humourless and sexless, and whose intellect is so proud and self-absorbed that they disappear into the depths of their own narcissistic verbosity.
Furthermore, : How did he get a silver sword? He was a gentle sort, though, so I doubt that he stole or killed for the sword. Plot Point 5: fuck. It is sad in this age when the passing of a humble scholar and indistinct court wizard barely warrants a footnote in history. But unlike Ammon Jerro, I will not be survived by any family. I have no idea where they might be now. Might as well ask Aldanon. A sage of all people should be able to tell us something about this mysterious war.
Neverwinter sent their forces to confront him. Others say that he was dragged away to the Abyss by his own demon servants. That's about as official a history as we're gonna get, guys. I think it explains a few things with regards to Black Garius and his plans, as well as some of the recent troubles in Blacklake. Oh yeah, the shard. I think we mean "What the hell is a Haven? I know it exists, but I don't know where. They don't allow just anyone to access them, though. I think 6 levels in Rogue should just about do it, Calliope.
He has been known to let me in I've no use for it any longer, and who knows, you may gather more. According to the script directions, we're supposed to get a shot of 'kidnappers' sneaking into Aldanon's house just as we're leaving.
Like I said, this is part of a subplot we'll resolve later. Sometimes I wish we'd gone for the City Watch. The Blacklake sergeant who would be escorting us around is a nice old man : The Archives, is it? That just figures. Nothing with you is ever easy. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can get back to the safety of the Merchant Quarter. Follow me. Administrator Cotenick? Triggering this event earlier seems not to work.
Triggering this event later seems to cause it to conflict with the Neverwinter Evacuation and also make best success impossible. In any case, the two success results "bandits slaughtered" and "bloody fight" yield the same bonuses because the morale bonus for the best result is not implemented. Katriona to Patrol.
Ziffer Volunteers - Diplomacy to avoid reducing Elite quality. Probably because of Ziffer and the village charter. Katriona to Special Missions. This event might reset tithes. Set tithes again before you leave.
Choosing this option gives us the Greycloak Morale necessary for the Warden of the Keep epithet. Katriona to Patrols. He appears now, at the same time as the second letter, because he is scripted to appear at the start of Act III, but obviously cannot do so before the earlier two appearances.
Now that we have the epithet, we can recruit Jalboun and Caelryna and still retain that epithet. See StarTear for scrolls from him if Wizard and lying around in his tower. Neverwinter Merchant Quarter - Recruit Deekin. Dwarven Stronghold, Mount Galardrym. Ores 11 and Recruit Caelryna.
Path of the Holy. Speak with Ivarr to close the Path of the Holy quest. Circle of the Mere. Recruit Jalboun. Jalboun is quite useless, but without him you cannot get the Gift from the Greycloaks event.
Dragon's Horde recovered - , gold maximum possible. Jalboun to Special Assignments. There's less gold to get but this gives no penalties and a net peasant growth greater than not collecting any taxes.
Send only Jalboun. Sending Light of Heavens along with him resulted in no extra gold, and slightly less population growth. Report last location of interest to Guyven and ask him about the Shadow Reaver camp. Summon Mephasm and bargain. Talk to him about the Shadow Reaver camp. Crossroad Keep now fully upgraded. Kana Special Mission: Tax Collection - done. He sent a message to the Sunken Flagon , but by the time the PC arrives, the house was taken over by several thugs and Aldanon was missing.
Aldanon found himself in Crossroad Keep as a prisoner, and learned from fellow prisoner Zhjaeve that Black Garius abducted him because of difficulties in deciphering the Tome of Iltkazar. Aldanon remained relatively oblivious of the situation, and and became entrenched in the many tomes they had at the keep.
The PC met him again in the ruined library after sneaking in through the escape tunnel. Aldanon was still oblivious to Garius' activities, and was far more interested in reading the tomes. The player commanded him to flee to Neverwinter and warn them of the possible danger, but not before Aldanon commented that if they started their "dark rituals" the best way to stop them is to make a lot of noise.
Arriving a few moments too late, Garius and his minions succeed in completing the ritual as the player stormed the chamber. However, not knowing the true results that would occur as the Shadow Priests were fully aware , Garius and his ritual companions were instantly slain in the shadow backlash, only to rise soon afterwards as Shadow Reavers , thralls in the service of the King of Shadows. Back in Neverwinter, at Captain Brelaina 's office, Aldanon confusingly tried to explain who and what Zhjaeve was to the captain.
Aldanon however was anxious to return to the keep and examine the contents of the library there. He theorized they could safely strike at the King of Shadows if they could somehow teleport past the shadow barrier and into the heart of Merdelain.
As the siege of Crossroad Keep raged on, Aldanon searched through the tome. He eventually determined a means to teleport the PC and companions directly into the Vale of Merdelain. With this, the party was able to reach the final dungeon where Black Garius and the King of Shadows was located.
