- A Gnome named Sherai stopped by looking for Tak, spoke with her husband about a symbol on their home, she's currently staying at the temple of Tyr, she has news about her husband and their home
- Nephrai has gone with the Claws, they're arranging transport with Blacklist to go to Greyhawk
- Owyn and Forvon stopped by a couple days ago for a meal, nothing occured
- Tirak the half-orc boy and Rha an Aarakocra girl stopped by with a report
Forvon
Opened her gallery 50 years ago, lots of wealth to fund acquiring art and commissioning new art. Claims she's from a merchant family in Queenstown. New art piece is a tapestry depicting a countess and a minstrel at a sunset picnic, if you brush your hand against the artwork you can hear soft melodic song being played on a lute. Forvon will deny being a dragon, ask what the punchline is, you were setting up a joke right?
