> She’s had some adventures, chasing some clues to where her sister is. She was captured by some slave traders, on purpose. Her sister is still alive but not yet retrieved. She was in a battle with the drow and has returned with her eye blinded. She captured one of the Darrow and they were able to read his mind to get some intel. They are working with Duke Zelto and were tasked with stealing the adamantine.

The house of Zolarrin took control, but the dwarf Bruno Battlehammer led an army into Gauntlegrim and seized the city back. The forge is powered by a fire primordial, Mijera the dawn titan. The drow party was trying to steal the primordial. The motive was to reform the adamantine colossus.
