 WRATH OF THE FLESHWARPED QUEEN

Player Handout: Sheila Heidmarch’s Letter

Greetings,
Once again we find ourselves at the forefront of a great discovery involving Thassilon.
Please meet up with your fellow agents in the Publican House in Riddleport. It is a
popular tavern and a temple to Cayden Cailean. Once you’ve gathered together, proceed
to the Shoanti camp location marked in the map I’ve given you, south of the Calphiak
Mountains near the shores of the Varisian Gulf. There you will meet with the Shoanti
leader Tide Watcher. She contacted me for help after her discovery of a Thassilonian
ruin near their homes.
I trust you understand how rare it is for the Shoanti to reach out for help, and how
vital this makes your mission. Continued friendly relationships with the Shoanti are a high
priority for the Society, as is learning whatever you can about this ruin and its original
purpose. A word of caution, though—I know little about what you may face ahead. If the
mission proves too dangerous, do not let your pride as new agents stand in the way of
common sense.
I’ve enclosed money to pay for your passage and provisions along the journey. Try not
to spend it all in one place.
Sincerely,
Sheila Heidmarch
