The final task is to return to the Wolfshaunt and subdue Father Joseph's line of kin and gain control of a Grandfather's Ring. THE NEPHEW + 12 OTHERS ALLOWED TO GO FREE!!! The Nephew will give them the intel report about what the Wolfshaunt is planning.
		+
		+	'''Backstory for the Heart of the Wolfshaunt'''
		+
		+	The two introductory adventures are designed to affect Witenagemot. The first is the discovery of stone dwarven ships that can be used in the fight against the Tang Armada (and later the Old Kingdom Navy). The second is an attempt by Grandfather Josiah to open the Flower Gate. This gate is unique, as it accessed from outside the Wolfshaunt - kept running for centuries by gnomes sealed behind the gate.
		+
		+	A small adventure to the Bee Gate will provide an introduction to Grandfather Bela. The party will also encounter Radu, a rogue vampire who is the most dangerous inhabitant in the Wolfshaunt - although a free spirit that might help the party. Finally, they can visit Azura Morgan's tomb - to retrieve a staff that allows them to teleport between the Wolfshaunt and the Reaches without using the tunnel and token system.
		+
		+	The main event is the Mustering - which binds the wolves of the Wolfshaunt - as a means of keeping balance in the land. This time, the party can get involved in the Mustering - either failing and allowing the vampires to retain control or winning the contest and choosing themselves whether to bind the wolves or not. This will make the wolves allies or enemies in the final battle for the Wolfshaunt.
		+
		+	'''Backstory for the Sealing of the Wolfshaunt'''
		+
		+	The introductory adventure will complete the ritual of the Mustering. If they are clever, the party will learn that the last payment of gold is being made to the Overlord of the Old Empire. If they can stop the gold, the number of troops invading the Western Reaches will be reduced accordingly. This will also introduce the party to Mr. Black and Mr. Sly - vampire bankers of a peculiar nature.
		+
		+	The second adventure will focus on the Forbidden Gate and Grandfather Josiah's desire to open tendrils to the Reaches - regardless of the price to be paid. Deception will be needed to get the party to open the gate and let the vampires in - of course, the party is carrying the pendants with the vampires hiding within.
		+
		+	The main adventure will introduce the party to the first of the lamps that are used to trap those within. The Chapel of the Lamp is the first place this might happen. Grandfather Josiah and Grandfather Bela will continue to try and get the party to negotiate a release from the Wolfshaunt. Radu will be there to mix things up by giving them the location of the remaining tokens - thus assuring his escape from the Wolfshaunt. This will set up the final engagement with the Grandfathers.

-Two rogue vampire brothers - rumored to be younger siblings of Radu - have long worked as "bankers" to the Families of the Wolfshaunt.  One is impossibly fat and quiet.  The other is rail thin and is the face of the organization.  They are known as Mr. Black (thin) and Mr. Sly (fat).  Militantly neutral, these brothers provide services to vampire, wolves and men alike.  Their stronghold in the city of Everblack is at the center of commerce.  Their stronghold is completely run by automatons - sentient beings cannot be trusted.

 With the roads being dangerous and unpredictability, the Everblack Bank uses the Exchange boxes found on the roads of the Wolfshaunt.  Using a two-phase teleport, valuable artifacts and gold are exchanged without risk.

 The release of the Nephew – a vampire who was slew Booth and pretended to be him during the last adventure – was able to contact one outsider to let him know of his location before being recaptured and placed back into the vault.  This outsider – Loomis – has been searching for the Forbidden Library his entire life – as his father and previous generations have done before.  Calling themselves The Cult of the Shattered Moon – so named because their organization lies sundered by the Wolfshaunt Gate – Loomis stole the cyptex, used their remaining tokens to travel back to the Grandfather’s Castle, and are now trying to open the Wolfshaunt Gate permanently.

 The correct solution for the party is to find the cyptex and take it away without opening it.

 Released from the Wolfshaunt, Grandfather Josiah seeks to leave the Wolfshaunt and establish residence in the Reaches.  In order to do this on a grand scale, he must bring darkness to the land - which will weaken the people, starving them and making them more docile - and allow him free reign.
