Paladin’s Report:
“Zenith”
Submitted by Paladin Menry
Status Report:
The caravan has successfully reached Gandra. Many of the locals seemed mostly ignorant of “worshippers” from Sanctuary, a location we’ve learned to be the home of this “Guardian”. Among them, however, were some of the cultists themselves. One of the beastfolk in our group had a contact in the area, Taka, who encouraged us to join them at their temple, “Zenith”.
It was clearly a trap, but the opportunity provided intel: they had one of the relics, and an “elephant sage”. This individual had important information about some of the other relics. The beastfolk in our party were lured into some kind of blood ritual; we intervened and got the sage Ayaan and our fellows out, but a cultist managed to escape with the relic. The temple, apparently held together in some way by this relic, collapsed as we left, destroying any other evidence.
Our current objective is to track the group who escaped with the relic. This leads our party in the direction of Ancuram. I will continue to send updates as the situation unfolds.
