Editing The Third Eye (section)

====The Couatl Feather====
The beginnings of the Third Eye occurred in [[Calendar#Year 3002|3002]] when [[Leon]] and [[Ilara]], both on the road to [[Hargrave]], met. Leon was going to meet with an investigator he had hired to learn why someone had tried to kill him years ago. Ilara, meanwhile, was simply searching for a place to belong, and had heard Hargrave was welcoming of all races. The pair soon met with [[Ililen Wuntohiin]], a firbolg monk also on the road to Hargrave to purchase medicinal herbs and other supplies. In Hargrave, they met the investigator, [[Sylas Asidia]], who told Leon that his investigations pointed to [[Queen Lyrencia]] herself having given the order to have Leon killed. The group then went to the [[Lucky Leap]] tavern to have a drink and absorb this information, where they met the orc wizard [[Isabelle Darrington]] of the [[Arcane Tower]].

While getting to know each other, they saw Crownwarden [[Cyne Mondar]] at a nearby table engaged in a business transaction to purchase a rare couatl feather from a halfling for a large sum. After Mondar departed, a bugbear entered and threatened the halfling over gambling debts, in the course of which he knocked over a lantern and burned up the couatl feather. The distraught halfling then appealed to the obvious party of adventurers with a deal: if they helped him buy a second couatl feather from his grandmother, and then escorted him to sell it to Mondar, they could keep the difference after the halfling's debts were paid. Seeing the opportunity for easy money, they agreed. They accompanied the halfling to his grandmother's house, where after chiding him for his gambling she finally agreed to sell him the feather, with the adventurers' money. As they headed towards Lord Mondar's manor, however, the halfling suddenly tried to escape into the crowd but was quickly grabbed by Ilara. The commotion attracted the attention of a guard, at which point the halfling transformed into a doppelganger and surrendered himself to the authorities.
