Aludria, of the Imperial Drakes, came by North Market this evening. She explained that she is quartering in Vornavis while on her assignment to investigate the Manticore.

Those gathered discussed their impressions of the Manticore and their ideas for defeating it. Aludria herself did not seem particularly impressed with the amount of information its gnomish creators provided. After these discussions, she revealed some details of her own past and assignment:

She was recruited into the Drakes by another familiar presence in Solhaven: Malvernus. He recruited her and several others out of Mestanir following the fall of the Arcane Eyes.

After training under Malvernus's tutelage, she and others served with him in the destruction of Talador. When it came to her assignment to investigate the Manticore, she noted that few of her fellow Drakes wanted it, but she was willing. Thought she could not be certain, given the dossier about the locals and the situation she was given, Aludria also suspected that Malvernus was behind sending her to Vornavis.

Signed,
Raelee and her Strings
