Foxglove tree


Vorel Foxglove was married to Kasanda Foxglove and their daughter Lorey.  Vorel built the house, and then 20 years later Vorel died, when his lich ritual was disrupted by his wife; his spirit infused the house and killed his wife and daughter.

43 years after that, Vorel's great-nephew Traver took possession of the house.  Its evil infused Traver, and when his wife Cyralie tried to burn the house down Traver (possesed by the spirit of Vorel) turned the fire on her, burning her and causing her to jump to her death out of the window.  His grief and horror caused Traver to break free of his possession long enough to kill himself.

That was bad times for their children, Sendeli, Zeeva, and Aldern.  The three were taken in by family in Korvosa, but Aldern returned with his wife Iesha a year ago.

Three Important Items found in Citadel Drezen

One item found is the Sword of Valor - a banner, which... well, but let us let Irabeth Tirablade describe it in her own words: The Inheritor herself carried this crimson banner into battle during the Shining Crusade. An army commander who carries the Sword of Valor increases the DV and OM of her army by 4 against armies of undead or evil outsiders. Yet the Sword of Valor’s greatest power lies not in offense but in defense. Mounted firmly upon an interior wall in a visible, public place, the Sword of Valor creates a 10-mile-radius area that bars demons and those who worship demons from using teleportation spells and effects and imparts on such creatures a –4 penalty to Armor Class and on all saving throws. Once per month while the banner is mounted on a wall, a worshiper of Iomedae within 30 feet of the banner can use it to summon a planetar to protect the banner and its surroundings for 1 day. Any nonevil creature that sleeps within a 1-mile radius becomes immune to fear effects from

Citadel Drezen part two, the caverns beneath Drezen

The seven adventurers: Antwon the Cavalier, Kand the Wizard, Torvan the rogue, and Vig the Ninja/Paladin, with their friend Kendra, and new friends Jestak the Barbarian and Joran the Wizard, descend into the tunnels carved underneath the Citadel Drezen.  Joran explains that while the stairs had been dug out and plans found for caverns and mines, the crusaders never got around to completing the lower levels of the Citadel, but the demons with their cheap labor were able to carve an intricate series of chambers, used for nefarious purposes. One of those nefarious purposes was the imprisonment and torture of various Crusaders; the stairs lead down into such chambers.  In the basement an oppressive feeling of chaos and evil suffuses and surrounds Our Heroes - it will be harder to cast spells of goodness and order here.  There is a low susurration of maddening whispers, too low to make out details but enough to distract The Heroes from their task, and to sap a certain measure of their foc

A scrap of a note

Here is a note, unfinished, found in the chambers that most likely belonged to Jerribeth the Glabrezu Demon, 'sister' to Arueshalae the succubus. No, I don't know what 'sister' means in the context of demons.  Arueshalae isn't talking about it, either, and seems ashamed of the entire affair.
