The Fragments of Malice

The Nightseeker was originally forced by Tarisi to pursue the artifacts, but now seems to do so on her own accord.

Infatuated with the Nightseeker, Zerist endeavors to do her bidding in order to impress her.

This powerful lich has been chained into submission by Tarisi, forced to work alongside the Nightseeker to revive Vortek.

Following Tarisi's sealing, it is likely that he has broken off from the Darkheart.

Deowyn took the Sallow Stone from the party, and it is likely he has not parted with it.

The Circle of Merchants has been alerted to the threat of the artifacts, and is deliberating what actions to take in regards to them.

Renbedar wanted to take the Sallow Stone, both to keep it safe and to research it, or so he claims.

The Pea Party seems to have been wrapped up in the whole mess, with many members of the party conflicting with the opposing forces collecting the artifacts.
