The answer comes swiftly with the morning tide, as the Unsullied limps into Maelstrom harbor. The sailors disembark and gossip makes its way through Maelstrom and eventually back to Arx. No one knows exactly what happened on Isle Ataraxia, but rumors begin to spread of specters who claw through armor and statues that come to life. The tales are ones of great courage, and greater sacrifice. But most notably, the rumors talk of a a room of tombs and the weapons hanging over them. Perhaps these could be a key to seeing the end of the beast that hungers and rises from the Darkwater Deeps?
In the end, Duke Harald Grimhall, Princess Katarina Valardin, Lady Caelis Malvici, Prince Antonio Velenosa, and Baron Audric de Lire will be praised for their committment and courage in the face of what must surely be dangers most dire to spawn such amazing rumors so quickly. And yet, while most of the adventurers disembark on their own, one does not. Duke Harald Grimhall is carried off in a litter, conscious but gravely wounded. Will the Mercies be able to save him? Will he recover to take control of his fleet again? And come to think of it... where is the Grimhall fleet?
