What happened
The damaged Storm Wraith reached Vaelthalas, the elven capital built around Whisperroot Sanctuary. The party began at the Gilded Pot, where Velsar Thornweave, Saelva, and Tessa introduced them to Sylvaran mead and the city’s careful social rules. They learned that Whisperroot was both the nation’s spiritual center and the place most likely to hold answers about the crystals—but openly discussing the corruption was taboo.
At Whisperroot’s reception desk they met Raelynn Mossveil, whose interest in Valen quickly moved her from receptionist to drinking companion. Their questions attracted Sareth Vosser, a connected aide who confirmed that Champion Elyndor Faelithil was the right person to seek. He provided a referral that could get them past the sanctuary’s outer bureaucracy. That is where the main campaign paused: in Vaelthalas, preparing to seek Elyndor while The Rise of Maltraxis became the active campaign.
