Search for the Staff
His reading of the ritual had left the traveler weary of spirit, for he did not know where the Staff of the Heart could be found. For all he knew, a scavenging party might have taken it away in years past. After the night had passed, he set out once more through the city to find the staff that would allow him to bind Cendriane to him.
He searched high and low throughout the city, scarcely pausing to rest. His search went on and on, but to no avail. He became convinced that the Staff of the Heart had been removed from the city by some unknown scavenger. But who had taken it, and where had he gone?
For the next month, he devoted his mind's energy to searching the Feywild for the missing staff. His mind swept the Feywild, peering into every city and village to find the unknown scavenger and who had sent him. His mind searched Senaliesse, home of the Summer Queen; Shinaelestra, a city being reclaimed by forest; Nachtur, largest kingdom of goblins in the Feywild; the Murkendraw, home to the powerful hag, Baba Yaga; and even Mag Tureah, the most powerful fomorian kingdom in the Feydark. Eventually, his mind found what he was looking for. His mind came in contact with an eladrin in the city of Astrazalian, the City of Starlight. The eladrin's name was Erevan, and he had lead an expedition that had been sponsored by the ruler of Astrazalian, Lady Shandria. During his expedition, he had retrieved an odd staff from the city and returned it to Astrazalian.
His destination found, the traveler immediately set out to reclaim the staff. Keeping in mind that he must not be seen while retrieving the staff, he went slowly, developing a plan to steal the staff.
