===Wolfheart=== [[File:Moonclaw.jpg|left|200px|thumb|The elven longsword Moonclaw.]] The Brightstone Heroes were appalled at how disastrously things went in Estorium. While they prepared to gather their allies and head south to battle the aberrations, they asked the Challengers of the Unspeakable to travel east to [[Silverstone]] and research means of closing the portal. On their way, though, [[Tol]] asked them to deliver a letter to a friend of his named [[Regina Tress]] in the village of [[Parrath]]. As the five adventurers made camp near the village, they found Regina being attacked by werewolves. Regina explained that the village had recently been plagued by a number of wolf attacks, though the creatures had rarely troubled them in the past. When they attacked the village in force, she realized they were werewolves; the next morning, her husband and several other villagers were missing. She and several of the village's warriors searched the island of [[Wolfheart]], but all the rest were wiped out. The Challengers accompanied Regina back to Parrath. That night, they helped the villagers fight off a second attack not just by werewolves, but other lycanthropes as well. One of the villagers told them about an ancient burial mound to the south, and when they investigated they found the ghost of an [[eladrin]] woman named [[Omaphara]]. She told them that that when the [[Feywild]] rejoined the [[Material Plane]], a fey crossing opened on Wolfheart. This led to a conflict between a local clan of werewolves and the eladrin city of [[Mithrendain]] known as the [[War of the Pelt]] that resulted in her death. Though a truce was ultimately called, her husband [[Querelian]] vowed that he would avenge her. Recently, Querelian had visited her grave and - though he did not know her spirit was still present - said that war would soon return, and her death would at last be avenged. Her long years of seclusion, however had given her time to reflect on the war; she now believed that only tragedy would come from renewed bloodshed, and begged the Challengers to stop Querelian. She gave them her longsword, [[Moonclaw]], and explained that the fey crossing on Wolfheart only opened during the full moon; this would be their only chance to stop him. The band took the fey crossing to [[Brokenstone Vale]] within the Feywild, and journeyed until they came upon the village of [[Shatterstone]] where the werewolves had made their home. The werewolves were initially hostile, but the Challengers managed to talk them down. The werewolves explained that their leader, [[Viktor Mazan]], had been kidnapped and evidence suggested the eladrin of Mithrendain were responsible. Though many of them were eager to attack Mithrendain and rescue him, they were convinced to let the Challengers rescue him in their stead. As insurance, Ro remained behind as a hostage. [[File:Viktor Mazan.jpg|right|thumb|250px|The werewolf lord Viktor Mazan.]] The Challengers tracked Viktor Mazan's kidnappers to the lair of rival werewolves and rescued Mazan, as well as uncovering evidence that Querelian had paid them to capture and kill Mazan and plant evidence implicating Mithrendain. While Mazan returned to Brokenstone Vale to calm his people, the Challengers followed the information they found to the ruined keep from which Querelian was orchestrating his plans. The mad eladrin accused them of being werebeasts and elf-foes, spitting vitriol and invectives as he and his allies fought back. The Challengers ultimately subdued and tied him up just as forces from Mithrendain arrived to battle against the werewolves. The Challengers were quickly able to explain what had happened, though, and turned both Querelian and Moonclaw over to them. Back in Shatterstone, the werewolves' elder shaman told Ro of a prophecy that a hero would one day arise wielding the powers of life and death to save the world. As an undead druid, he believed her to be that hero. He guided her on a spiritual journey to improve her powers, helping her to fully come to terms with her nature. When her companions returned, the werewolves thanked them for averting renewed warfare and gifted them dire wolf mounts.
