**One Stone**

Blue Bear, Sky Pony, (other Uthgarti).

Silver elves (Teu Tell Quissir) contingency with arch druid Tittlebee Gumpkin. Mithril Hall, The Evermoors (swamp), Longsaddle, Neverwinter.

The woods themselves are more feral. Wolves lash out at homesteads. Tensions are rising between settlements and edges of woods. Whole household is in disarray. Darker pockets we can only travel to so often.

Anyone else trying to stop it?

Have you met the Uthgarti yet?

Their matriarch. Their wise women have the ghost tree tribe. The Uthgarti have their coming of age at the Grandfather Tree. The earth mothers themselves have a connection to Sylvanus’s primal nature. Only a small contingent join the ghost tree. The GTT are trying to find the source. We are hoping to send a contingent north, but the political tensions among the uthgarti have made negotiations difficult.

Aziola, since you travel with a Cloudbeard. What is that like?

*“He’s mostly absentminded so I don’t mind.”*

Bruenor the Elder, we don’t have many dwarves in our midst. Bruenor the Elder went and healed the land of spell plague. Allowing for nature to take root again. Causing things to flourish again. He was also involved with teaching a group of the Bedine in the druidic arts. (connection to Orren?)

What is your group/s intentions?

They seek wells, etc.

Interesting there is the Baerunas of the Red Lions. But if they are seeking the Well of Etheria, I will allow them to access it if they prove themselves worthy. There is a contingency of Eladrin here, led by a name by the name of Veerio. (Man Aziola requested the horn from.)

Within the Feywild there is a darkness called the Dark Wood. It echoes the Cold Wood here in our world.

Main Characters of Pocket Dimension: Veronica, Sampson

**Inner Grove**

Aziola wakes up and sees 5 statues in the inner grove of ancient kings. Further down is a breathtakingly beautiful pool. There are white flowers. lily pads, and intricate detail that has been washed away over time. There is armor that is incredibly old surrounding the pool. There is a sword hilt completely taken over by moss. All the armor and weapons have been completely overgrown. These statues are the lost kings of ancient times when men first came. These faces are all through out the world in various different states. She is less sure about the nature of the armor.

Beirtdun *is the name the druid.*

Merius has the dream again.

Damian take a stab at the book to see if he can suss out brick password. The final phase catches his eye.

**Emerald Enclave Meeting**

See druids of the moon, shepherd, twilight, dreams, land, etc.

“Stellock Koleravi. I am known as Chief Bobcat of the  I have a message for you from Onestone.”

Stellock looks over the letter while people begin to be ushered in.

There is the Rhelatora family. There are the elves of the high forest, who stand apart from the rest. They are already beginning to transform into wood from age. There are also the more wild elves from Skahrn.

Eventually the Earth Mother’s begin to come in. They appear impossibly old for humans.

A High Elf: *“Thus begins the Emerald Enclave.”*

“Present are…”

“Not present are the Gryphon, …, or the Red Lions.”

“I do not see the Stag, or the Night Elves of the Northern Wold”

The flames die down and then reburst again.

*“It does appear that we have member of the Red Tigers with us.”*

The meeting progresses… orcs pushing in from the west, there is a feral blight that is affecting the balance of the nature for people to be able to hear the voice of the ancestral spirits of the elves. That’s a big deal. (hence Aziola’s fuzzy communion). Also there were beasts in the south, and an uncommon resurgence of were beasts in all forests. These are creatures that come out as a result of an imbalance of forces. Usually caused by echoing ripples of some major disturbance. People don’t really want to talk about this. No one is willing to say out right that there is a blight. Speculation that this may be because Sylvanus’ presence is fading from the world. Others think that this is not a unique problem. happens from time to time. Perhaps an imbalance in the ley lines.

*“Which brings us to our next order of business. The dispute amongst the Uthgarti. Although there are different alignments, we have come here to seek some kind of balance.”*

At this point the black lion tribe, Koleravi stands saying, *“The Red Tigers are refusing us entry into our burial lands.”*

Messenger stands up *“All excellent points. But it’s all moot. As not all members are not present to be able to come to a consensus. What makes you think that entering our lands would solve this problem? Besides, we don’t appreciate the weak. And you are weak. I’ll tell you this. We will allow you back into our fold, but on our terms. You can settle the land between the branches of the Surbin.”*

The woman who was arguing with Koleravi *“Allow us!”* He puts his hand up *“Balance.”*

*“Furthermore, we have decided to elect our own Earth Mother.”* the emissary from the Red Tiger’s sneers

A couple earth mothers stand up. *“It is not tradition to elect Earth Mothers by tribe. You must be allowed in.”*

*“As we’ve said, we’ve chosen our own Earth Mother. One far stronger than all of you together.”*

*“Blasphemy.”*

*The earth mothers sit down.*

*“So, as is our ancestral way. Embrace me as a sister.”*

Stellock stands up, holding his hands up, holding his hands forward.  The onlookers look abashed. They embrace each other in the way their clans have for generations, her smirking.

But as the embrace, Stellock leans in and says

*“You think you can come here, after killing my only son and talk of peace? There will be no peace.”* -and snaps the neck of the messenger. The room descends into mayhem as people shout that this is sacred ground.

Afterwards he comes up to us and asks if we will join his contingency.

\*Witch of Fire and Wood was the real leader behind the Blackbloods during Brohain’s family’s military campaign and the events of Greenest under the moniker, “Furlam Mondath”.

\*Archdruids would like us to investigate a tree in the Cold Wood. There is a tree there that may be the source of the sickness.

\*As we are being ushered out, Damian notices that the armor around the pool appear Nethralese.
