A most unusual ship has appeared in a harbour of Acryn -it appears to be built on the back of a huge white whale - and those in the know will be aware that a delegation from the recently contacted Southern Isles has arrived in Acryn will a large shipment of mana crystals, hopefully the first of many that can be used to turn the tide of the war. This should be a cause for celebration but the council is concerned about something and had put out a call for adventurers willing to travel.
