Sildar Hallwinter learns from The Party that Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek was last seen in the vicinity of Tresendar Manor, while scouting the location. The Redbrands have been extorting the people of Phandalin and recently murdered a citizen in cold blood. Both Sildar and The Lords' Alliance are convinced that Phandalin will not be able to prosper with The Redbrands terrorizing the village. Sildar offers The Party 200 GP to remove The Redbrands from their stronghold in Tresendar Manor and find any evidence of what happened to Iarno "Glasstaff" Albrek.
