## **Finished Quests**

**Shattered Reputations**

**The Mithril Princess**

**If Ye Love Me, Keep My Commandment**

The Crew & Randall Rondham's loyalists tracked down Keletheryl and killed him. Afterwards, they freed Emthrara the Harper & Alaphondar Emmarask from their Sepia Snake Sigil-induced stasis and were shocked to discover that the treasure they were searching was a five year old child -- and not just any child, but Azoun the fifth, heir to the throne of Cormyr.

**Crypt of the Viper**

A century ago, a young human woman named Alauneth Orrane donned the mantle of the Black Viper for the first time, and used it to enjoy a career of robbery, kidnapping, extortion, and murder-for-hire. When her desires were at last sated, Orrane faked the Black Viper's death and retired somewhere in northern Cormyr. Lady Cat Wyvernspur has said that she heard tales of the Black Viper when she was a child in her home town of Immersea.

#### **The Crown Affair**

In order to help bring a swift end to the civil war, the loyalists of Randall Rondham will require Dana Talcontin's presence outside of the capital. Once battle has been brought to Suzail, the capital of Cormyr, the crew will be tasked with kidnapping Talcontin from the Royal Palace and absconding from the city with him.

#### **The Sapphire Heist**

The generosity of the Royal House of Obarskyr has always been bolstered by a secret source, a sapphire mine of immense size known as the Crystal Grot. The location of this mine is a closely guarded secret known only to royalty and their closest advisors. Determining its hiding place is just the first step of the Crew's most lucrative & dangerous heist yet.

#### **The Nether Scrolls**

Vajra Safahr has requested that the party attain and secure any nether scrolls that they may encounter during their travels through Cormyr. The Prince Regent, Dana Talcontin, has put a lot of political effort behind his dream of the great Netheril Empire reborn, and it is said that he plans to share this power the common folk, in order that they become his loyal people forever.
