Location: Tower of Araj

Party reaches Vizeran's tower and meets with her in her personal chambers

• Vizeran invites PCs to sit at the table with her for a meal
• Party is suspicious of poisoning, but Vizeran scoffs at the idea

Vizeran goes over her plan to perform a ritual with a talisman called the Dark Heart; she wants the party to collect the ingredients

• she answers everyone's questions and offers everyone a few magical items and the use of her tower as a home base

Begin Quest: Craft the Dark Heart

after dinner, Vizeran shows everyone to the guest quarters and gives permission to explore the tower with the exception of locked areas

• Za'zimlas asks why there are unused servants' quarters and why people were told to sleep outside over the servants' beds

Party begins travel towards the Wormwrithings, the closest location of some of the Dark Heart ingredients

on the way there, they travel through a cave full of giant crickets and bats, meeting the kuo-toa Ougalop and an unknown half-elf

• Ougalop informs Party of updates to Sloobludop: survivors of Demogorgon's attack have gone mad or scattered, many succumbing to Underdark monsters
• the sole point of calm and reason among those who stayed in the ruins of the village is Shuushar, though Ougalop doesn't know how long Shuushar can mediate
• Ougalop shows off his map of the Darklake; it is largely unhelpful, but interesting to look at

Epilogue

Full Art

A realm of endless labyrinthine tunnels and caverns where the sun never shines. Still, the environment is just as varied as the Surface. Travel through much of it is dangerous, as resources are hard to come by and terrain is difficult to traverse, and there are many hostile creatures lurking in the shadows.
