Family History

As a child, I remember mother telling us stories about an ancient dracolich that terrorized the lands. She would warn us, jokingly, that if we misbehaved, the dracolich would pay us a visit. Always thought those stories were told to keep children on the straight and narrow. Turns out the dracolich was real. Its name was Ebondeath and my ancestors gave their lives fighting the foul thing.
 
Spent the last several months digging into my elven ancestry. Visited family in Neverwinter Wood. Scoured several libraries in Neverwinter and Waterdeep. Chatted up every bard I could find. Ended up with more questions than answers, unfortunately.
 
My maternal great grandparents’ names were Adaon Moonshadow and Arianllyn Dawnsong. Adaon was a Bladesinger from Silverymoon and Arianllyn was a bard from Baldur’s Gate. They died almost 500 years ago. I inherited my wand from Adaon and my eyes from Arianllyn. But, what about my powers? Did they have anything to do with the magic within me? I always thought the woman in my dreams felt familiar. What if those strange dreams weren’t dreams at all but rather memories of the past? That would mean there’s a world out there inhabited by living constructs. Where would such a place exist? Who would know? Would anyone know?
 
While researching my family history, I found some worrying information on Ebondeath. The dracolich was sealed some time around 996 DR by means of an artifact called a necropolis shard. Any information about the shard after 1350 DR has been hard to come by. Its whereabouts are currently unknown. Rumors have been circulating of a group or maybe even multiple groups of cultists working to free Ebondeath. Do the cultists know where the shard lies? Should we be looking for the shard? Will bring this up at the next Harpers meeting.
