Drow note in Glade
Ragerath Uluksor,
I entrust to your leadership five score of my best warriors and the Mage, Erigg. You are to land with the rest of my army north of Fontainver but are later to separate. You must make for the forest at Efferendil. You will encounter the Demon who has already been led there by his Lich. Do not attempt to resist his dominance; instead you are to aid him in his quest to find the Mage, Walorin. The Demon is solely concerned with the most powerful of the First Mage's trinkets. The most important of which is part of Sarnim: in this case, that which the dwarf, Destrin, foolishly used at Emras. Our Lady believes the shard will again be our reach, during the winter period of the Glade’s circuit. If, by chance you discover it, you are to bring it to my forces at Minas Emras immediately. Travel via the Tree on the paths used by our Gith colleagues - the green Key will point the way.
Should you fail to find the shard, you are to find and retrieve the scrying stone from the Tree of Many Worlds. The stone is that the Arch Mage created in the Age of our first Dominion. We need the stone for many reasons, chief amongst which - as far as you should be concerned - is to deny the enemy the ability to be part of our conversation. Once you have the Stone, you are to take it to Vorsaykarai. It must be delivered personally to our servant, Mercantire Carass. He will reward you handsomely and provide further instruction. The black Key will point the way, you may wish to travel via the Tree, on the inner-most Plane. You will be aware of the need for sensitivity and caution – you are to balance carefully our relationships with the Demon, the Lich, the Oriental and your men. Be sure you are successful.
