Nereslin mysteriously says that the group is like a beacon, one of three lights of the vale.
“Helca is being attacked on all sides. It’s guardians, the dragons, are gone. The Celestine Influence, their successors, has dwindled. All the forces that once stood watch are slumbering, weakened, or gone. I need the group to clear a path. It is a small, but significant job that will clear the way for others. Two great forces once battled for a unique place. This battle has slowly become forgotten, and a sort of no man’s land has sprung up. This place is a haven for fell creatures that use it as a lair, the threat of awakening the old wounds and battle spilling over into other lands is letting some of its denizens get away with literally murder.”
