Veiled Machinations Report
General Summary
In the aftermath of the ledger heist, Flint dutifully handed over the Black Ledger to Lysandra, who, in turn, issued a pointed warning to the party against divulging or replicating its contents. The consequences, she hinted, would be dire. Fulfilling her end of the bargain, Lysandra directed the party to Elorel Vellorian, a member of the esteemed Noble House Vellorian in Eldoria. Known for his deep involvement in the city's criminal underworld, Elorel was hinted to possess crucial information about the kidnapping of Princess Thelia. Embarking on a four-hour journey to Eldoria, the party reached the Grass Market and delivered the goods to Opulent Thread Creations. Lady Isabella Ravenshroud, the proprietor of the establishment, granted them a suite at the prestigious Whispering Oak Inn. She assured them that information concerning their investigation into the princess's kidnapping would be communicated to them shortly. Their next destination was Vellorian Manor, an architectural marvel adorned with serpent motifs. The wrought-iron gate bore inscriptions in Yuan-ti, revealing the motto "Vithar Zress'itha, Olrinth Vel'nesh" which, when translated, said "Silent Shadows, Coiled Strength." Inside, Elorel reluctantly confessed to being the intermediary for Lady Cordelia Blackthorn, a member of Aldbury Nobility. Cordelia, facing a fall from grace within the city due to her husband Lord Severin Blackthorn's questionable business dealings, sought assistance from the Yohirin military for a high-profile kidnapping. Elorel, bound by a debt to Lysandra, shared this sensitive information with the party, urging them to keep the source confidential. With this revelation in hand, the party departed Vellorian Manor, heading back to the Whispering Oak Inn to deliberate on their next course of action. The shadows of Eldoria held their secrets, and the party found themselves entwined in a complex web of intrigue that extended beyond the borders of Mera.
