19 - Elkwood

• The party followed Emmanuel Foster’s ledger to Elkwood
• After speaking to the Reeve, the party learned that Prince Nicholas had ransacked the town
• 5013 spoke to old man Proudmead who told the party about the Quickfield Caravan and about how it was led by Eldon Porridgepot, Merric’s father
• During the Datrus/Torveldus war, Eldon ran humanitarian missions, which pissed off both Datrus, and Torveldus
• The caravan operated out of Elkwood, so it was raised, Eldon was killed, and his wife was imprisoned
• Foster managed to escape with his life (and the ledger) and fled to Cedar Combe
• Having learned this information, the party decided to head back to Cedar Combe to speak to Merric
• Tittlin asked around, and found someone who knew about Jørgen Olesen
• Tittlin greased his palms and found out some info
• Olesen’s caravan was run out of town and should still be derailed on the north road
• They were primarily carrying live cargo - If you approach you should be wary of a powerful gladiator they were transporting
• The party came back to Cedar Combe and talked to Merric, who pulled out his father’s ashes and proved to be no help
• 5013 showed the Illegible Book to Goras, who revealed that the symbol on it was from the Swift Earth tribe that was wiped off the map.
• The tribe used to exist in what is now northern Torveldus.
