Campaign context¶
Selected passages from the searchable transcription. The linked PDF controls if OCR punctuation differs.
Yilsebek carries a spider silk satchel that contains his spellbook (described below), a spider-shaped brooch made of obsidian and engraved with the symbol of House Dalambra (25 gp), and a half-empty bottle of Elverquisst (a rare, ruby-colored elven liquor distilled from sunshine and rare summer fruits). Professor Skant recognizes Elverquisst on sight, since he is an expert on the making of it. Elf characters would also recognize it.

Before beginning their search for Ythryn, Vellynne and the characters need two objects: The Codicil of White and Vellynne's professor orb, which she calls Professor Skant. Vellynne has every reason to believe that both items are currently on an island in the Sea of Moving Ice.
