Sora takes Edge and Kaiden to Brorunna's well where they then meet with Aarin at Aarin's lodge where they discuss the current sitution about the cult and Aribeth. Edge tells him that he was forced to put down the former Paladin

Aarin then responds " you all are looking for the words of power "
" yes , do you have any leads ? "
Aarin thought for some time he then instructs the group to go to the local inn here and to look for a person named Lillian, stateing that person will know more about the Words of Power and perhaps even their location.
The group then gos to the local in and looks around for Lillian. While looking for Lillian they ran into the other adventurers who were stuck in Neverwinter at the time of the plague.
Sharwyn took notice of the group and approaches and is greeted by Edge.
" Hello " she responds seeming interested in the strange dress code the people wear and begins asking Edge a lot of questions. Edge on the other hand feels that he should keep a low profile so he remains silent and only tells her few answers. They are then interrupted by Sora who was standing her to join them.

Sharwyn remembers Sora from back in Neverwinter but remarks that she is acting very different than back at Neverwinter, Sora then looks for Lillian walking into the inn followed by the rest of Edge and Kaiden. They locate the person of interest at the bar. They hear about the Words of Power form Lillian as well as the location of one of them.
After hearing it Edge decides to contact Shepard.

" commander Shepard , are you here ? come in... "
Shepard then responds back " yes i am here its good to hear that you are well, you had me worried " Edge then shrugs it off and focuses on the mission on hand " we have to find a few artifacts known as the words of power "
Shepard just tells Edge after " don't shrug me off, I know that this mission is important for you but life matters as well, we thought you may never wake up again "

Following the lead given to Edge by Lillian , he searches for the first word of power. Edge then approaches the word of power as he draws closer the artifact gives off a faint glow as he touches it a power then surges through his body. Edge then falls to his knees , Kaiden looks at Edge with worry and approaches him " you ok ? "
Edge then gets up " i am fine " he then looks at his hand ( what was that ? ) picking up the word of power and bring it back to Aarin. Edge then attempts to go look for the second artifact but he was stopped by Kaiden " commanders orders is not to let anything happen to you, that seem to take a lot out of you. Edge you should rest "
