High Lady Mourne Desolate-Sky of the City of Dylath in Terranova is in a spot of bother. It is so troublesome she has asked the merchants of Parties Interested in Riches And Trade Everywhere if they could acquire any slaves able to help her out. PIRATE assures the Guild that any such slavery will be of limited duration.

This adventure would be ideal for those looking for masterworks in Spy, Thief, Courtier and Troubadour. Warning - in this game you probably won't be taking any of your own gear.

Observations

Human the Fool

Portal to Drow Territory Via the plain of Salla'm'karr several seagoing vessels from the plain also in evidence.

Sea elves are among the captured slaves their lands having fallen within the last season or so.

Given that power in Terranova is viewed in terms of number of slaves, should advise any nobles dealing with the Drow to copy the amulets and have all their retainers wear them so the Drow understand they are persons of rank/note.
