* 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.
* As part of the inquisition in Ta'Illistim, both [[Leisette]] and [[Thaiagol Razan-Dhur]] are questioned. [[Mirkk (prime)|Mirkk]] and [[Aendir_(prime)|Aendir]] were interviewed privately, with Aendir doing so under the influence of a "particular serum". [[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.
* Prominent merchants in Ta'Illistim are reported missing. Their shops closed without notice. A silvery-cloaked individual is fleetingly seen throughout the area.

* Ardtin met with Jiarine to recive the cloth scrap found in the Vipershroud. She said her people would investigate what happened. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-15-2023|Details]]
* [[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's 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. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recap-Dusty Box Contents | Dusty Box Contents ]]
* 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]]
* Rumors circulate in Ta'Illistim about [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Rumors in the Air (vignette)|missing people]].
* Marshtown held a memorial service for the folks that went missing. Their spirit advisor, [[Dieudonnee]] called upon Charl and the Huntress to find vengeance for the lost Marshfolk.
* A memorial was held for the Marshtown folk who disappeared on the trail to Zul Logoth. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-22-2023|Details]]
* [[Adresin Ostrylae|Adresin Ostrylae Ardenai]], a cousin of Ysaeril, arrived on the Ta'Illistim Green to pay his respects to Sayilla, of whom he met and admired when she was staying in Ta'Ardenai in 5120-5121. 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 [[Bodohal Gallanst|Bodohal]], 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]].

[[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-25-2023|Details]]
* Meanwhile, [[Adresin Ostrylae]] Ardenai arrived on the Ta'Illistim Green to pay his respects to Sayilla. 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. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-25-2023|Details]]
* [[Adresin Ostrylae|Adresin Ostrylae Ardenai]] arrives on the Green and is frustrated by the lack of progress. He heads to Solhaven and checks into the Solhaven Inn with plans to confront the Vornavian Court at the formal session two days later.
* Adresin spoke with adventurers on the Ta'Illistim Green, where he shared he intended to formally petition the Vornavis Court about the slow investigation into Sayilla's death. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#05-29-2023|Details]]
* Formal Court in Solhaven - [[Talleani|Talon]] arrived to announce that an assassination attempt was made on [[Wilhard]] but that she had thwarted it. [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe]] departed from court to verify the information and late returned to confirm that it was true. A herald was sent to retrieve [[Adresin Ostrylae|Adresin Ostrylae Ardenai]] from the Solhaven Inn as he was scheduled to speak but hadn't shown, while the herald was away both [[Ysaeril]] and [[Athalia Aricia Malwind]] gave impassioned speeches about the need to resolution on both sides of the spin and to continue the peaceful efforts of both [[Sayilla Javilerre]] and [[Kasendra Malwind]]. The herald and Odelgard returned, each with news. Odelgarde confirmed the deaths at the jailhouse, the herald stated that the Innkeeper informed him that Adresin had checked out of the inn early. No one has seen where he went. A plan was made to move Wilhard before the session ended. After court, Odelgarde shared that she had known Talon by another name, Talleani, in her youth and that her parents and siblings had fallen victim to The Shadows of Haven during the [[Griffin_Sword_War|Griffin Sword War]]. She was taken in by her Uncle [[Plaitime]], though no one truly believed he was her uncle. Since there were so very many orphans of that time, it appears as though no verification was had.
* Formal Court is held in Vornavis. [[Adresin Ostrylae]] Ardenai, who was expected, was not present; it was later revealed that he had checked out of the local inn that morning and left town. [[Ysaeril]] and [[Athalia Aricia Malwind]] gave impassioned speeches about the need to resolution on both sides of the spin and to continue the peaceful efforts of both [[Sayilla Javilerre]] and [[Kasendra Malwind]]. [[Talleani|Talon]] arrived to announce that an assassination attempt was made on [[Wilhard]] but that she had thwarted it. [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe]] confirmed Talon's account and shared that she and Talon had been childhood friends. A plan was made to move Wilhard to safekeeping in [[Order of the Azure Sun|Sunholm]].

* At a Ta'Illistim Arboretum event, Vaelynsa shared that Kasendra had been poisoned with a paralytic in some sort of sweet. [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Recaps (summary)#06-04-2023|Details]]
* Master Inquisitor [[Ciradyl]], Inquisitor [[Vaelynsa]], [[Eruien Lithavir]], and [[Leisette]] met citizens in the library to discuss ledger findings to see if there was any type of cross-over and patterns they should investigate. Leisette managed to get a copy of the Bank Ledger for the month of Charlatos which she gave to Teveriel to read since the ledger search was his idea, a copy of House financing to Vaelynsa, and she kept the Auction House records. It was determined that there were a few unaccounted-for large withdrawals and some tampering to try to remove House Greyvael's ledger information.
* Gossip traveled along the [[Nations on the Brink (storyline)/Peacock Grapevine (vignette)|peacock grapevine]] about Vaelynsa.
* A frantic [[Odelgarde Brindlestraffe]] shows up in Market concerned that a Ta'Illistim guest was meant to meet her and hadn't arrived yet. Heading to South Haven, they discovered that Inquisitor [[Vaelynsa]] was delivering a bundle of evidence from Ta'Illistim to help Vornavis with its continued investigation. As they were departing, the missing Librarian from Ta'Illistim showed up and passed out. Given the fear that the librarian showed, Vaelynsa requested that Vornavis care for her, which Odelgarde agreed to do.

* Odelgarde meets with citizens in Solhaven. She gives an update on the Baron's health, Jarnsaixa's recovery, and even speaks about the librarian from Ta'illistim, Atylia. She explains that Atylia had a fever and suffered from varying forms of exposure, exhaustion, and hyperthermia. She mentioned that the elf was delirious with fever and would speak about a beret whale with a face that shifted and changed coming after her, though at other times she would cower in fear. Once the fever was broken, Atylia grew tight-lipped and would have episodes that were more outbursts of paranoia and fear, always worrying about the frayed veil. Mention was made about Friend, Healing Stones, Herbal Mixtures for the Baron, and a Yll'suta for Atylia to help calm her dreams and mind. Further discussions were interrupted by the explosion of the Glaoveln.
