○ The beauty of Ardeep Forest and the mystique of its elven ruins have long attracted nobles from Waterdeep. The nobles of House Nandar had a hunting lodge in the forest two centuries ago, but elves forced them to abandon it. Ten years ago, members of House Nandar - Lord Drezlin Nandar and Lady Velrosa Nandar - decided it was time to return. They built a new motte-and-bailey settlement south of the Ardeep Forest and began making forays into the woods with friends to hunt and explore. Unknown to the Nandars, wood elves from Evermeet then settled in the forest, determinde to protect the remnaants of old elf empires from plunder and descration. As in the past, the instersts of the elves and Nandars were at cross purposes. A year ago, the conflict came to a head and the elves attacked Nightstone. Drezlin was among the many slain - shot and killed while standing on the roof of his keep. His widow, Lady Velrosa Nandar, made peace with the elves and promised to make no further incursions into the Ardeep forest - a promise she still keeps.
Rumors:
• Mirt was key in the negotiations between the Nandars and the elves. In exchange for his services, he was gifted the hunting lodge, the building gifted by Lady Nandar and the land by the elves. He was prohibited from renovating the outside lest anyone stumble upon it and try to occupy it.
The elves only grant passage to Mirt or to those bearing his seal.
