- A Friend Like ThisSomething unusual happened in Svartrau. It might be worth checking out – any trouble in the city could spell trouble for Brencis.
- Song of the MountainWe know where the uriash village is and how to get there. We should head on over there and ask their Elder about the whereabouts of Isbrand, Brencis's sire. He may know the knyaz's weaknesses we can use when we strike.
