Template:Rise of the Runelords chapter

We returned to Turtleback Ferry and were greeted like heroes. Velicia really liked that. I nodded to the mayor and gave him a big smile to let him know we had succeeded in making sure the dam would hold, but otherwise I kept a low profile. Honeypot was at first happy for the attention but soon became a little annoyed that everyone treated her like a hero and not like one of them. She wanted to party among them, not be some object of worship. The town still had water on some of the streets but it was less deep. I returned to the inn and ate dinner. I found Kaven and we talked about Fort Rannick. As most of the rangers were in Turtleback Ferry to be healed, I thought that now would be a good time to go back there. If it might become mine I would want to get to know it better and start to get it a little cleaned up to make it habitable again. If that keep will be put to use again it will have to be repaired too. I should probably ask Vale to look at that. Kaven thought that it would be a good idea to go there too, as he didn't mind leaving Turtleback Ferry. As I knew Velicia would continue making magical items and Honeypot would be busy being almost the only entertainment in place of Paradise's Gates, I asked him to get our packs ready for going there the very next day. Gloriana heard our plans and said that she wanted to join us.

Honeypot starts growing winter fur.

Early the next day the three of us got ready to leave. The sky had cleared up and it had gotten colder. Before we left we ordered some winter clothes. I ordered some fur trimmed felt hose and a similar tabard. I had noted that Honeypot had gotten hairier. I didn't know that fauns grow winter fur, but it seemed reasonable.

There were still more water in the river but not as much as when we opened the gates. As it had stopped raining I hoped that Turtleback Ferry would soon be back to normal. We reached Fort Rannick without any trouble at all. There were an eagle circling us as we approached but it soon returned north up the mountain. We rode up to the Fort and I climbed in and opened the gate for the horses.

Gloriana went up to the eagles. I stayed and cleaned up. Really disgusting.

Kaven set up the kitchen.

A day later the first of the rangers returned.

Some days later there were rumors of a ghost.

I went up the tunnel and talked to Gloriana. We returned and checked around.

It was a small pixie. Gloriana said it was called Japp.

We decided to talk to the others, especially Honeypot and Velicia as they probably knew a lot about these things fey-related. We returned to Turtleback Ferry as fast as we could. I and Kaven rode horses, but Gloriana flew on her new mount, the eagle she had befriended up on the cliffs next to Fort Rannick. Japp rode with Gloriana. After all she could understand the language the little pixie was talking.

When I and Kaven got there Gloriana had already gathered Dorothea, Honeypot and Velicia in the inn. She was just about to present the little pixie to them. They talked with the little pixie for a long time and later translated for me that Whitewillow had gone bad. Whitewillow was a place that was connected to feywild somehow. There was a court that was lead by the fey queen Myriana. She had gone away to search for her loved one, but when she returned she was dead. Honeypot said that the fauns we met on our journey to Fort Rannick had left Whitewillow because of the change that had happened there after Myriana had left.

We agreed that we should go there and see for ourselves, but it was in the middle of the marshlands called Shimmerglens.
