→High Priest's Quarters

→This list describes several powerful items which Garfindel believes he could create with the right components. It would be worth hanging on to these strange materials should you chance to come across them in your adventures.

----------------------------------
Cloak of the Wolfborn
----------------------------------

The infamous werewolf is known to have many strange abilities, but what of its lesser-known and even more powerful cousin, the wolfwere? Said to be a natural canine able to take the form of a man, the wolfwere has amazing regenerative properties that put even those of a troll to shame. If I could obtain the pelt of such a beast, I believe I could work it a cloak that provides its wearer with some of the beast's regenerative powers, as well as high damage resistance.

Items needed:

Greater Wolfwere Pelt
10,000 GP

--------------------------
Ring of the Lich
--------------------------

Liches are known to be undead spellcasters of great power, and I predict that with the correct application, their remains could be used to boost the powers of a mortal spellcaster. A ring of some sort seems the perfect receptacle in which to place the dust of a destroyed lich.

Items needed:

Lich Dust
Silver Ring
10,000 GP

-------------------------------------
Pendant of Dragonkind
-------------------------------------

The mighty dragon, most powerful of all Faerun's mortal creatures. It is well known that their hides can be used to forge the strongest of armors. However, the blood of a dragon is also highly prized amongst mages for its supernatural properties. I believe it should be possible to crystallize this blood ,and place it into a necklace or pendant of some sort that. When worn around the neck, it would impart great power on the wearer. Of course, would only create such an item from the blood of an evil dragon.

Items needed:

Dragon Blood
Silver Necklace
15,000 GP

--------------------------------------
Blade of the Nightwalker
--------------------------------------

The Nightwalker is a truly terrible being, a masive entity of pure darkness and evil. Little to nothing is known of these undead monstrosities, except that their ashes hold great necromantic power. I believe a terrible sword could be forged from these ashes - one more powerful than anything I have ever made. However, obtaining the ashes would be incredibly hard due to the rarity and power of the Nightwalker.

Items needed:

Nightwalker Ashes
Longsword +3
25,000 GP

---------------------------------
Dagger of the Tauran
---------------------------------

The minotaur is truly a fabulous beast, as strong as a bull and twice as fierce. The horn of a minotaur is known to be extremely strong and would make an ideal blade for a dagger.

Items needed:

Minotaur Horn
Dagger +3
15,000 GP

"Old friend, I fear that Tethyr's future is once again in the balance. The Sythillisian Empire has turned its gaze towards us for reasons I cannot fathom. How can this recently healed nation hope to defend itself from the untold thousands of goblins, orcs, ogres and giants that lurk on its northern border?"

Excerpt from a letter by Royal Court Sage Gamalon Idogyr to Elminster of Shadowdale, 1372 DR.

Author and game designer Luke Scull is delighted to present a remake of the classic Hall of Fame module Crimson Tides of Tethyr for Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition!

→This appears to be a journal belonging to Maresh himself. Although only updated sporadically, the entries are detailed and make for interesting, and disturbing, reading.

=======================
Entry 1
=======================

The desecration of the temple is progressing well. Soon the place shall be cleansed of the taint of its former occupants, and the correct rituals needed to re-establish the temple as a sacred site to my unholy god shall be complete.

My new partnership with the Sythillisians is working out nicely. From my base here, I shall keep an eye on events in the Wealdath, reporting anything of consequence to my "partners". As always, the hated city of Suldanessellar occupies much of my thoughts.

While the ogre warlords are directing their efforts against the southern Amnian cities, I am confident that in time they will realize that Tethyr offers much easier opportunities for Sythillisian expansion. The country's military is sweak and spread thin, and besides cursed Suldanessellar, there is no force in the Wealdath that could prevent us from establishing it as a Sythillisian stronghold. I shall bide my time.

=======================
Entry 2
=======================

More orcs from the Empire have arrived to strengthen the temple. With the ogre warlords having secured Murann, they are more willing to provide me with additional swords. The new arrivals are fierce and will make perfect worshippers of Gruumsh. My dark god shall be pleased.

I still do not know what the ogre warlords plan next, but the "Crimson Guard" are proving difficult. For mercenaries, they are organized and hard to unnerve, No matter. They number only a thousand. Eventually, will be hunted down like dogs and killed.


=======================
Entry 3
=======================

The rumors are true. Not only has Trademeet fallen, but something has happened to Cyrvisnea. Orgrim's magical sending was vague, but I discerned enough to be sure of that. Whatever happened to her must be related to the defeat at Trademeet. How the two events relate is a mystery - Cyrvisnea should have been safe in Murann, hundreds of miles from Trademeet.

Whatever the truth, finally my dreams are coming true. Sythillis has sent his army south into Tethyr. I would judge his actions rash at best, madness at worst. Abandoning the security of Murann to invade a country this size is a huge risk. I can only surmise that whatever happened to Cyrvisnea has driven him to this.

Orgrim's sending informed me that the army is only fifteen days away. I must drive my orcs into an even greater frenzy, so that when the time comes to attack the elven city, they do Gruumsh proud with their bloodlust.


=======================
Entry 4
=======================

I have finally met with Sythillis. He is driven by something. Rage... loss... I cannot put my finger on it. Powerful as I am, even I found his intensity unsettling.

We have lost Kazdag and most of his elite goblins, and word has just arrived that S'Reek, the kobold leader, failed in his attempt to secure the magical artefact. I am not worried. The failures of these buffoons shall only serve to magnify my glory, and the glory of Gruumsh, when my orcs help to crush the city.

→This book is a biographical account of Gamalon Idogyr, Court Sage of Tethyr and a powerful archmage known for his knowledge of spelljamming magic - the use of vessels to explore wildspace and the other worlds of the Prime Material Plane.

"Much of Gamalon's family, including his mother and two oldest siblings, were killed in 1313 DR, when Gamalon was only eleven-years-old, during a series of feuds that occurred between his family and Clan Trecask from the Duchy of Dusk.

Gamalon was educated at the Mystics' Academy in Erlkazar.

Sometime in his early life, Gamalon became an adventurer and explorer. During one of these early that adventures, Gamalon lost his left eye to an owlbear.  At some unknown point, he received his magical gem eye as a gift from Khelben Arunsun. Together with the multiple ioun stones that frequently circle his head, this resulted in his nickname, "Gemhead."

In 1333 DR, Gamalon left Toril and his homeland of Tethyr and lived on the Rock of Bral, one of the Tears of Selune, where he maintained a curio shop. At some point while there, Gamalon discovered a secret stash of orbus rings, which enhanced the power of spelljamming helmsmen. For a time, Gamalon was the only seller of such rings.

During his time on the Rock of Bral, he became enamored with a merchant's daughter, named Mynda. After four years of pursuing her, she finally agreed to become his wife.

During the Ten Black Days of Eleint, one of his sisters and one of his brothers and most of the members of their families were slain for being nobility.

Gamalon returned to Toril, to his grandfather's lands in County Spellshire near the Forest of Tethir, sometime before the First Siege of Myratma. He provided magical support in both the First and Second Sieges, and for this, he was rewarded his grandfather's old lands to rule over as count."

→Faerntarn Palace: The Great Library

→The Great Library

→The scale of this dark plot is even greater than you feared. Salidar Darkson of the Five appeared before you, Dappled Blade in hand, and told you that the war with the Sythillisians had been engineered to weaken Tethyr before Daramus attempted his coup. Salidar himself was merely after the Dappled Blade, an artefact of great value among his kind.

Before he melted into the shadows, Salidar told you that Seeta is not as she seems and could herself be planning to seize the throne. It is her magic blocking the doors of the palace, including the door to the throne room. You must confront her in the Great Library.\n

→After driving the spirit from the girl's body, you spoke with the bard, who seemed to recover upon seeing his beloved. Unfortunately, he was still under the impression she was possessed, and ran her through with your encouragement. Unable to live with his loss, he then killed himself. Asmodeus himself would approve of your machinations.

→"Keep up the good work, Garret. Remember to stay away from those red-cloaked mercenaries, however. Orvel and his boys tried mugging one a few days back and received a sound beating. Orvel barely escaped with his life.

Ah, 'tis a grand time to be a Shadow Thief, no doubt about it. With the city guard all joining the army, there's barely a law enforcer to be seen. Rich pickings all around, mate. Just you remember to hand over the agreed share of your earnings.

Oh, in case you forget: The password is 'Malefactor'. I don't want the trouble we had last time. Kaz isn't the sharpest tool in the box, and the slums ain't no place to stand around arguing about passwords. The shadows have ears, and they don't all belong to us.

- Darklun"

→Of the seventeen noble prisoners collected during the months of the Reclamation War, all were tried to determine the exact crimes that were committed against Tethyr. While the accused were granted one day of leniency to argue for mercy, each and every one of them was convicted as guilty.

Although the nobles mentioned were amongst the most high-profile villains of the Interregnum and subsequent wars, they are by no means the most foul. From army officers to adventurers, the list of those who attempted to gain power and wealth through violence or treachery is long indeed.

The ultimate fate of those who committed crimes against Tethyr varies. Most of the convicted were put to death. In less heinous cases, some were simply exiled and warned never to return to Tethyr. A very small number disappeared entirely, and as to what has now become of them, who can say?

→This hastily scribbled note is still wet with ink.

"The palace is under attack. I am trapped here in the throne room.

To the one who reads this, I implore you: do not raise the alarm. I am certain the Ventinari family is behind this. Only they have the resources to attempt to take me hostage. They mean me no immediate harm, of that I am sure, and I cannot risk a civil war should anyone of influence discover what they have done.

I ask you to take this note to Royal Warlord Vajra or Elhan, so that they may take the correct course of action. There is a hero of increasing renown in Suldanessellar who I believe to be capable of making a rescue attempt, and succeeding.

Let none other know what has happened, especially Talamar. I fear the magical fallout from an assault by the High Mage upon House Ventinari could destroy the city.

I  hear the assassins approaching now. My guards are outnumbered and will soon fall. Make sure this note arrives in the hands of this hero, or Suldanessellar is doomed.

Ellesime."

→After two decades of suffering and strife, the people of Tethyr called out for change and peace. The Reclamation Wars lasted as a military campaign for two years, but are tied up in events spanning almost three years.

As the adventuress Zaranda Star gained repute for her deeds and heroism during the wars, the rightful king and heir to Tethyr's long-vacated throne built up his power in the north, assisted by influential foreign mages.

Eventually, after a long and eventful series of adventures, Zaranda and Haedrak were crowned the new monarchs of reunited Tethyr and received the blessing of the goddess Siamorphe on their wedding day. While a few did not see the goddess herself, all saw the State Crown rise up and place itself on the head of Zaranda Star-Rhindaun, new Queen-Monarch of Tethyr.

→Congratulations! You've almost finished Crimson Tides of Tethyr. Once you speak with Zaranda and Haedrak, the final scene will begin. Please see the Readme for the (extensive) list of talented people involved in the creation of this module.

I'd like to offer a public "thank you!" to all the folk whose generous contributions helped make this module possible. Please visit https://www.patreon.com/lukescull to keep up to date with development of The Blades of Netheril: an epic, seven-part campaign that serves as a mega-sequel to all the game's official content including the original campaign and expansions, and to which Crimson Tides of Tethyr serves as the second part of a companion trilogy. The first part, Siege of Shadowdale, is free to download. The third part, Tyrants of the Moonsea, is available from all good video game digital distribution platforms.

→Queen Ellesime has been kidnapped by assassins sent by the Ventinari family. Ellesime is likely being held in the Ventinari estate - but they are unlikely to open their doors and simply let you in.

You've managed to gain entry to the Ventinari estate. Unfortunately, it would appear Lord Ventinari was waiting for you. An unwelcome testament to your growing reputation.

→High Mage Talamar has tasked you with retrieving an evil artefact of great power known as the Orb of Nekrodemus. The Orb contains the trapped soul of a lich, and grants mighty necromantic powers to the one who holds it. Unfortunately, a group of kobolds led by the shadowdancer S'Reek wishes to obtain the Orb so that Sythillis can use its might against Suldanessellar.

You must enter the Broken Realm - the twisted stretch of forest that was once home to the archmage Joneleth Irenicus - and obtain the Orb before the kobolds reach it. The Orb of Nekrodemus can be found inside the tower of the former archmage of Suldanessellar.

→The feinting is over. The Sythillisians are coming at full strength. The allied forces of Tethyr and the monstrous coalition led by the ogre warlord are set to clash in a titanic battle to decide the war.

You've been assigned to stand guard in the Underland, and deal with any monsters that succeed in breaching the gates. If the Tethyrian army is broken, you will be the last line of defense.\n

→This rod is a treasure gained during your previous adventures. Its power is great, for it allows the wielder to pull a recently fallen companion back from the brink of death. Although you haven't had the chance to put it to much use so far, it should certainly come in handy in the future.

You should take care when using the rod's power, as a recently revived companion is still extremely weak and likely to be killed almost immediately if enemies are nearby.

→Everything was going to plan until the Orb of Nekrodemus shattered. Apparently, Nekrodemus had somehow been absorbing the souls of those slain within the tower, until he was strong enough to break free of his prison.

You defeated Nekrodemus once and for all. You should report these events to High Mage Talamar.

→This terrible sword has had the ashes of a destroyed nightwalker beaten into the very steel itself. It hums with a malign hunger for life, feeding upon the blood of those it wounds. The wielder is granted protection from the most terrible powers of the undead from which it is was forged, making it ideal for combating the creatures.
