S3: Among the Eldreth Report
General Summary
You arrived in the Lochan, the pristine mountain home of the Eldreth, a druidic circle of religous Eifer who cloister themselves away from the rest of the north to better meditate on Mara and the ways of nature.
Upon arriving you and your friend Caelen Wildwood, were embroiled in the groups politics. Accused of perhaps killing Taghd Mosstone and manuvered into taking on a challenge to both Test Caelen and to prove the truth of your testimony.
Vas tried to reach out to one of Caelen's critics among the tribe, to little avail.
You met Ronan The Bloodfire O'Carroll. A "named man" among the Eifer, from the north. He was a messenger today, to deliver the ultimatum of the Nordring Circle. "Join us in our crusade against the imperium or be made to join us." When he isn't delivering threats on behalf of Lachlan Bjornsen, another named man: Lachlan The Bold. Ronan told you he was a Champion of his Leige, fighting duels so armies didn't have to. He bore the scars to prove it.
After the funeral of Mosstone, the party set out the next day, now with a time constraint to get back before sunrise the next day to tackle the Aillteir Ceannais.
One of the challenges was to summon ancestral spirits to talk to them and get advice. Each of the you talked to one of your ancestors, though some were more helpful than others. Marcus especially though had a big encounter with a very-very ancient ancestor who seemed to be seeking him out to deliver instructions.
Winning the 9 challenges with a few hickups, you got to the top of the mountain just to see a Giantess Woman, sitting beneath a massive tree, seeming to be waiting for you.
