After picking up Thoredim’s Dwarven Plate Armor, the group went to see Remalia Haventree. A slightly stiff half-elf assistant gave us an appointment with her for 3pm and we used the time in between to have lunch at a food stall called Bao’s Baos.
Remalia wanted to meet us, it turns out, to introduce us to an ally: Elia, owner of the Fountain of Knowledge, a large Library / Archive located in a multi-storied building in the middle of Waterdeep. Elia first appeared to be a blonde, very old Halfling, but as the conversation quickly brought to light, was actually a 1000 year old Bronze Dragon! Shan asked all kind of awkward questions that nevertheless gave us some highly interesting insights. Elia, in her true form, is called Illentran, a gargantuan dragon. She owns this library since all dragons like to collect things, she just chose books. Thoredim was very suspicious about a dragon standing right next to him, claiming to be good. Illentran noticed and gave a short history lesson on dragons and the differences between chromatic and metallic dragons.
Illentran was on the “Council of Dragons”, a council of the “Great Old Ones”, who were currently discussing whether they should intervene in the situation with the Cultists. They would meet again in 10-14 days, so Illentran asked us to come along to report our experiences with the Cultists to the council.
Posmet then showed Illentran his balls, which got her very excited. She led us to a room deep within the library to show us a book on the Serpent Hills. In them, people called the Yuan-Ti live who worship a green orb. This could be our next goal. In our concentration we didn’t notice the library becoming quieter. Only a couple people remained who looked suspiciously like Dragon Cultists…
