Assignment Summary
For as long as the Explorer's Society has been in business in Arheim, there have been rumors of an enigmatic and powerful wizard hidden away in the mountains near Blair Pass. We have recently found an invitation in our mail to visit, but considering the risk of sending a group to an unknown place, we decided it would be prudent to put you on the case.
Your primary assignment is to find out where the Wizard lives, and any information you can find on them.
Necessary Information
Blair Pass: The only major land route between Hazra and Zetia. It should be safe as it is patrolled frequently.
Zetian Mountain Range: Specifically, the Blair Range, is home to many dangerous creatures including trolls. Great care should be made traveling through them, even on a marked path.
The Wizard: We know nearly nothing about the Wizard, besides that there are rumors that they have worked with important figures throughout the Three Kingdoms over the years, but we can not substantiate those so most everything we have is guesswork.
Travel Information: You will travel by river through the jungle, and at the first stop after you are clear of it, you will be given horses that you will ride west with until you reach a large ruined keep. In the keep is a small, ramshackle town called Harrowswick where you will leave your horses and travel south on a ranger path. According to the invitation, you will be approached by someone once you are there. The trip could take anywhere between 3-5 weeks considering most of the travel will be through the mountains and the weather in that area is unpredictable.
Recompense
Finding valuable information on the Wizard and the place they stay will give you 800 gold pieces to split amongst yourselves. It is doubtful that the Wizard will part with any of their things, but if a deal can be made without sounding rude, make it and you will get an additional payment of value relative to the importance of the item you acquired.
