The Guild Hall Located in the original district named "Old Virifell" the buildings here have seen better days. They appear to be battered and beaten down throughout the years compared to the expansion of the city around it. Description: The shop is a two-storey building hewn from an outcrop of crystal, with tall elf-wrought wooden shelves. It is well lit by glowing gemstones set into the ceiling. Shopkeeper: The shopkeeper is a young male dwarf named Gemi. He blames the gods for every misfortune and exclaims that most of his adventurers have gone missing or left for better towns and lines of work.
Aventure Board and Registration You must register to be an adventurer or hero of Virifell. Once you do so you are given a badge to perform tasks available from the board that have been handed down from the master's Keep from lady Brytha Grangerford. Most of the jobs are not adventure-like at all. It's chopping wood for locals, helping at the docks, and fliers for joining the guard with the hopes of being promoted to night guard.

Abnor's task will involve collecting a debt owed to the dragon by a butcher that came there years ago who goes by the name of Sereid Zistin. Abnor will remember this man as the one that saved him from the wars in Brifux and dropped him off at the order of the golden dragon. He will recognize the monk garb and will ask if Abnor is there to collect on a bounty. He will refer to Chloe as the "she bitch" and will fight if provoked. Ultimately, Abnor will figure out that he was the one who saved him and will have to confront the silver dragon in regards. if he refuses then she will laugh and explain that this is the spirit of humans that she adores and the fact that his years are limited he doesn't want to end them now. Next will come the ritual of fire where Abnor will be encircled in dragon's flame and the rest of the party may offer up to him something to lower the DC (starting 14) or if creative enough provide inspiration. If successful, he will be able to change his subclass. Once all this is done, they will be awakened by shouting from a lone dwarf that will die upon his arrival only to let them know that Guttithorp has been attacked by a pack of bandits led by a green dragonborn wielding a rainbow metal bladed axe.
Upon entering the town, they will find everyone there dead and most of the buildings destroyed and some burning. The airship there has been destroyed and the power generator in the river sparks with energy. Footprints lead in the direction of the power cables where the feywild await. Upon finding the converter crystals, they will have a battle and discover that the surrounding area is corrupted. Entering into the tree at the bottom, they will meet the shade that has taken Balazar's form. The group will discover that he has been captured and his visage is being channeled to him via grangerford. The battle ensues and the corruption can be destroyed. After this, tinkles will thank them for their efforts and offer to take them anywhere they want to go; however, he will advise that he feels they are not strong enough to take on grangerford.
