Vinmiras Departure
After consuming a copious amount of alcohol, Vinmira retires to one of the bedrooms opening out on to the courtyard. The party mounts a watch rota and similarly settles down for the evening.
Come the morning, somehow it feels inevitable that Vinmira is nowhere to be found. His bed was obviously slept in, but is cold as though vacated a couple of hours before dawn. Tracks and scent show him walking to the door but then both disappear. A quick inventory shows that all the house keys are still accounted for.
Vinmira has left a short note on the bed, written in common (see below):
Note From Vinmira

My friends (or so I believe),
My recent demise has left me with a lot of unanswerable questions, particularly about who I can trust – and unfortunately at the moment I have no way of knowing if your group has been infiltrated by a being similar to that which impersonated me so well and yet did not come to my attention in the brief period we were both in this city. As such, I have decided that I am best going solo in order to try and understand what is going on here, and hopefully regain some confidence in the people around me.
There are too many loose ends for me to chase up on my own, so I leave you with some of these questions:
Firstly, could such a creature be the means by which the wards on the Riverside Palace were circumbented got round? If so, do these creatures have some allegiance to the Elves…..and what does that mean for the Alveran Elven pact.
Secondly, the creatures goal was obviously the destruction of Onwens Holy Symbol and it was clever enough to work out how to do that with the help of that Wild Priest. But was the Wild Priest a willing accomplice or a dupe, even with the great spell now shattered I cannot believe that the Wild has the such an abundance of resources that it can casually let one of its priests (probably very experienced) simply be sacrificed.
Thirdly, the release of the Wyldwood Avatar from its role a prison guard will have huge implications on how active Wyldwood is, particularly up here in the North. How does a more effective Wyldwood fit in with the strategee plans of the Elves and the Wild?
Lastly, there is the question of Miriel, I would still like to think of her as trustworthy but cannot be sure. Of course, given the machinayt meddling of Soratak, vision led or not, Far Haven is a crazy place to be anyhow.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do, I hope our paths cross again.
Yours
Vinmira
