Shael Ash

A thief steals a ring from Marlena Bormann- the owner of the Wanderer's Tale (Keskala's only Tavern and Inn). Aneirin e'Mylel, Shael Ash, Mala'kai Avirotka, and Ceiba Lanael help to track it down and return it. Marlena rewards the party with a treasure map that leads to a small series of ruins rumored to be of Sa'Avian origin, located in the Kogria Mountains just north of the village.

The party encounters a crashed wagon on the Eastern Road. Shael recognizes it as a wagon belonging to refugees she and Kod Zuzagar (M Orc) had smuggled into the region; Mala'kai uses his abilities to lead the party towards several presences he senses, where they find Neveah, her daughter (Zira), and another figure taking refuse in an abandoned mine shaft.   The family's wagon was attacked by bandits and the two ran off to safety. They were found by one bandit (Gi, M Tameri), after he'd a change of heart and killed his partner (Kerry, M Fereni the three were hiding out in an abandoned mine while Gi was sporadically trying to find Neveah's son and Husband.   The party decides to camp at the Mine for the night in order to help aid in the search the next day.

The party encounters a waypoint on the Wildroad, containing a wayshrine to Pelor.   Mala'kai finds a plain Silver ring in the dirt, while Aneirin gathers nuts from a tree near the waypoint. Before leaving, Shael, Ceiba, Mal, and Aneirin, leave coins at the Pelor Shrine; additionally, Ceiba druidcrafts a reddish pink rose for the cairn and makes it take root before leaving.

While exploring the old Batrun military outpost, Aneirin e'Mylel and Shael Ash discover a hidden compartment beneath an altar. Inside the compartment is the vestige Mistleinn- the sword companion of the shield Dainsleif; last known to be wielded by the Dasmiiran twins Katona and Tamas Raedler, both pieces were lost during the Siege of Greibaurum.

On the way back to Keskala from the ruins, the party stumbles across a grave. The grave looks recent and is unmarked; Shael Ash finds a short sword engraved with serpent wrapped around the hilt, a peridot gem in its mouth, lightly buried on top; Aneirin suggests leaving a few Qiao'hon flowers on the grave, and leaves 5 or 6 of them nicely arranged.   Further up the Wild Road, the party finds the Pelor shrine they encountered earlier in their journey destroyed. they rebuild it, with Anerin attempting to make it more aesthetically beautiful. Mala'kai leaves a silver, Ceiba leaves a handful of Qiao'hon blossoms; Shael doesn’t leave anything. Aneirin puts some Qiao'hon flowers in the well near the shrine, but waits until morning before leaving 4 pieces of Qiao'hon bark on the shrine itself.

After Keskala's destruction, Kod has to wait for the wagon to be rebuilt before he can take Neveah and her family to Rothshield as initially planned (and get supplies for the rebuild he's invited the party along with him a second time. This time they accept his offer to join him, but inform him they may not return with him.   Kod requests Gold to cover part of the cost of supplies- as well as the cost of hiring protection to replace the party for the return trip. The party make a plan to visit the Dwarven Clan Skala for whom the village was initially named in order to request funding.
