* Adventurers helped look for Babs' still missing relatives from Marshtown and Aldora who were last encountered in Zul Logoth. While exploring the Vipershroud, they found evidence that the entire party had been killed. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-04-2023|Details]]
* BABS of Marshtown informed adventurers that her family had not returned home, which led them to explore the Vipershroud to see if they could find traces of the lost Aldorans and Marshtowners. Will-o-wisps guided them to some discarded items: a splintered shield shard, a discarded axe, and a scrap of cloth. They also shared visions of the pilgrims being waylaid by a part of elves in peacock blue livery, seemingly noting that none survived. Some adventurers went to the Elven Village where they proceeded to search for questions, with one party member threatening to burn down the village to get the answers they wanted. That threat stopped all denizens from answering future questions.
* Session Four of the Inquisition kicked off in Ta'Illistim with both [[Leisette]] and [[Thaiagol_Razan-Dhur | Thaiagol Razarn-Dhur]] being questioned. Further reporting noted that under the influence of "a special concoction" [[Aendir_(prime)|Aendir]] provided his testimony of the evening.

[[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/2023-05-06 - Ta'Illistim Interview Session 4 (log)|Full log]]
* Vornavis Court acknowledged the rumors that the Aldoran and Marshtown folk were missing. They did not put stock in the fact that their Illistim allies, tenuous though that allegiance is at the time, would murder common folk. They will be continuing to investigate the situation. [[Jarnsaixa_Vargrdoittr|Jarnsaxa]] made her first appearance since being injured after court. She thanked everyone for their efforts and well wishes. When referred to as Warden, she noted that she could no longer in good conscious display that title and asked that they simply call her by name. Her arm was heavily scared and bare to the air. She eagerly awaits the results of the trial in Ta'Illistim so that she can turn herself over to the mercy of their courts for her part in Lady [[Sayilla_Javilerre|Sayilla]]'s demise.
* In Vornavis Court, Athalia acknowledged rumors of what happened to the Aldoran and Marshtown folk and said that Vornavis would continue to investigate. A scarred Jarnsaixa made an appearance, asked that people stop referring to her as Steward, and said she was awaiting the results of the trail in Ta'Illistim so she could turn herself in for her role in Sayilla's death. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-09-2023|Details]]
* Myasara held court in Ta'Illistim, where the inquisitors announced all suspects had been cleared except Orelwen, Leisette, and Naevys. Ardtin shared that the elven village near the Landing had been recently threatened. Ysaeril and Missoni shared news about the Aldoran and Marshtown commoners, including that they had been killed near the elven village by an elf wearing blue and silver livery. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-13-2023|Details]]
* The Mirror recognized visitors of foreign courts including [[Eruien_Lithavir|Eruien]], [[Leisette]] and [[Agathilea_(prime) | Agathilea]]. Inquisitor [[Ciradyl]] announced that all suspects except [[Orelwen_Greyvael|Orelwen]], Leisette, and [[Naevys_Eilstina|Naevys]] had been cleared. The latter three would be questioned again. [[Ardtin_Illistim|Ardtin]] advised of first-hand accounts of threats made to the Elven Village (near WL) and that hostile individuals entered with the intention of burning it down. She suggested the Vaalor shore up their fortifications and advised Myasara that she recommends the Illistim assist in the endeavor. Leisette asked for permission for her and her house to be cleared of suspicion and that she be allowed to move freely despite additional questioning, but was denied. [[Ysaeril_(prime)|Ysaeril]] came forward to tell Myasara about the Aldorans adventurers had found in ZL and regarding their concern about the pace of the murder investigation of [[Kasendra_Malwind|Kasendra Malwind]]. Absent Jiarine, [[Missoni_(prime)|Missoni]] stepped in to explain that they tracked the Aldorans to Vipershroud (or elven village?), and had a vision of them being attacked by an elven archer dressed in blue and silver livery. There was skepticism about whether it was related, and Myasara instructed Ardtin to track down Jiarine for more information.

* [[Ardtin_Illistim|Ardtin]] met with adventurers before the tea shop in Ta'Illistim, this was a pre-scheduled meeting between the Lady and Jiarine so that she could obtain the cloth the younger woman had found in the Vipershroud. [[Orelwen_Greyvael|Orelwen]] joined them shortly after. An unusual public scene played out between the Aunt and Neice, with the elder expressing her displeasure and the younger seeming much cowed and chastised. Most of the exchange was icy, with the elder woman being caustic and aloof. In the end, Ardtin assured Adventures that she would have her people investigate the situation.
* Librarian [[Tasytha]] the Master of Arcane Acquisitions was disgusted to find that the Solhaven Library books and recorded materials she was looking for were destroyed during the [[Nighthaven]] incident 5102. The remaining box of items was brought to [[Misty Teas]] where adventurers helped her piece together the scraps of paper and lore needed to hopefully help find a cure for the dreaded disease/infection that plagued Jarnsaixa.
* Librarian Tasytha, the Master of Arcane Acquisitions of Solhaven's Library, had a bit of a kerfuffle at the library. Adventurers helped her sort through tattered documents to try to find a cure for Jarnsaixa. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-18-2023|Details]]

He questioned why more hasn't been done to find her or her killer, and why nothing is being done about missing townsfolk. The missing townsfolk conversation was tabled when Ardtin arrived, who shared sentiments about the slow pace of investigations. Adventurers urged caution and expressed both confusion, helplessness and frustration. Jia brought up the fact that none of the Illistim Court have gone west to speak with those involved as they did in the City. The group then left the Green and visited Sayilla's memorial, where Adresin left a selerial bloom for her. He advised he would be staying in Ta'Illistim briefly. The conversation returned to Sayilla's murder and Adresin became increasingly agitated and angrily vowing to do something. Ardtin and Adresin had some bouts of verbal sparring. Adresin argued someone must go across the Spine to the Vornavian Court, and then ended his night catching a room at Moonglae Inn. Adventurers had again urged caution.
* [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe]] met with Adventurers in the Armory of Vornavis. She shared more history of [[Grenhal]], news about [[Wilhard]] and his dealings with [[Bodahol]], thoughts on Sanctuary, news about Idolone, and information regarding the lost Marshfolk and Aldorans. Unfortunately, the scouts found the remains of all the Marshfolk and Aldorans, save one or two. Jisandra and Delindra had been working on a some shield fragments, which shared their [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Fate of the Marshfolk (loresong)|loresong]].

Ardtin arrived later, and conversation turned to focus on the slow pace of both investigations. Adresin became more agitated and frustrated by the lack of progress and vowed to do something about what happened to Sayilla by traveling to Vornavis.
