Heroes: Malik, Trevan, Machteld, Signar, Niobhe, Vladimir.
Year 640 MR - Summer
The Heroes explore the remaining rooms of the upper floors, and are surprised to discover Vladimir is kept prisoner in one of the cells. After recovering his strength, he recounts of his trip north with Sigurd and their escort, and of their own encounter with the winter-touched fey. They were attacked, and rapidly subdued by the poisonous darts of the fey. Having no clue of Sigurd whereabouts, he can only guess that he's now prisoner of the White Witch.
Trevan and Niobhe find a way to disrupt the ritual with magical fire, and then the Heroes leave the Pale Tower. They receive once more the help of Nauma to guide them through the forests, and reach the southern border after a few encounters with savage humanoids tribes of goblins and gnolls.
At the border, Nauma entrusts her two sons to the party, to be brought to King Hrothwulf and serve him, while she will remain in the the Realm of the White Witch to cause as much trouble as she can.
The Heroes reach the Barrow Woods, where they're welcomed by Jarl Huralla, and then after a few days they travel to Lemnjohen to meet king Hrothwulf. They receive a warm welcome from the amicable king, but the queen seems cold and distant, especially when she learns that Sigurd is in danger, and that in his place Signar, bastard son of the king, has come back.
The Heroes update the king about all that has happened in Anuire in the last few months, while Trevan's attention seems focused on princess Rowena, a fledging wizard eager to learn from the more experienced magic-user.
