Zelenn the White has asked Alyks Askaria to reassure Duvessa Shane, the speaker of Bryn Shander, that the Arcane Brotherhood has no official connection to Vaelish Gant's ambitions to gain control over Ten Towns.
Result
Unfortunately, Vaelish "the Brown" Gant came upon the party before they had a chance to meet with the Speaker. This led to sufficient alarm that a faulty assumption was made and the party was shipped off with Gant to Revel's End.
