===== Session 5: The Amber Court =====

=== Afternoon, 18th Summer Prime, 498 CE ===

  * The party talked with the Windscene Tavern keeper, [[wiki:npcs:ian_aether|Ian]], for a while.
    * He explained the layout of the town.
    * He also explained that things were tense ever since someone from Ambermoor Keep was kidnapped by [[wiki:organizations:the_silent|the Silent]].
  * The party then left for Ambermoor keep to try and find Laef.
  * Lady [[wiki:npcs:zara_adir|Zara Adir]], the Count of Ambermoor’s eldest daughter, walked into town as they entered the keep.
  * The party met with [[wiki:npcs:ira_royn|Dame Ira]], the Master-at-arms at Ambermoor, and convinced her to let them speak with Laef.
  * They met [[wiki:npcs:laef|Laef]] in the stockades, under Ambermoor Keep.
    * She confessed to Rev that she was a walker, on a mission to save the world.
    * She was investigating the Silent, when she was found by guards and mistaken for a member.
    * The guards that arrested her claimed that she was alone.
    * Laef insists there was a whole bandit camp where she was picked up.
  * Dame Ira, not understanding Rev and Laef’s conversation about ‘being a walker’ no longer trusted the party.
    * She escorted them out of the stockades.
  * Ekhart decided to sit in on the court, to see what the Count was like.
    * Rev and Sang followed.
  * [[wiki:npcs:ezikiel_adir|Count Adir]] and his middle daughter were hearing issues the townspeople were having.
    * Count Adir appears to be giving level-headed justice to the people.
    * [[wiki:npcs:amelia_adir|Lady Amelia]] seemed to be watching and learning from her father.
  * As they were watching court, [[wiki:npcs:gwendalyn_adir|Lady Gwendalyn]], Count Adir’s youngest daughter, joined the party to talk.
    * She mentioned that she was a Silent sympathizer.
    * She also mentioned that a boy from the Church had been kidnapped from the Keep.
  * Ekhart, thinking the church boy that was kidnapped was his brother, joined the queue to ask Count Adir a question.
    * Count Adir confirmed [[wiki:npcs:cidmuir_mayze|Cidmuir]] was the person who was kidnapped.
    * He also said that he would give Laef a fair trial.
    * He explained that the investigation had been going poorly because there are Silent sympathizers among the city guard.
  * The party left to explore Cidmuir’s room.
    * Nothing seemed out of place.
    * There were no signs of forced entry.
  * Ekhart also found more research about opening a portal to the Faerealm.
    * Opening a portal apparently takes a lot of physical room to perform.
  * The party left the keep to find guards responsible for arresting Laef.
