Sister Abigail and Arician travel to Suzail to take word to the Crown that the local Bane cult has sided with the undead horde. Along the winding road while sharing their thoughts about Elminster and the Crown's chances against the horde. They speak about the Grue, being outsiders who must have entered the world somehow, and agree that its unlikley they are simply summoned. They agree that there has to be some sort of rift or open gateway which let so many of these creatures into our world, yet Arician notes that such a portal would be nearly impossible to hide.
"Perhaps not, this horde came from the sea, did they not?"
Arician nods, thoughtfully.
"A portal might be e-easier to conceal were it on the b-bottom of the sea yes? And since these creatures came from t-the sea; perhaps it might p-pay to conduct some r-research for sunken cities or temples, old legends, that sort."
After finishing their report in Suzail concearning Kross and his cohorts and their cohorts, the two begin searching for lore on the topic. Eventually, thanks to the suggestion of a wizard named Kara, a small group sets off for Marsember.
Arician is picked up in Shallybrooke, and Sister Abigail, Nori & Kara head to the Alzarien Academy in Marsember to ask the bards if they have knowledge of sunken ruins or temples in the Dragon Reach. They elude to the idea that because the Grue are undead elementals of fire, that perhaps temples of Kossuth should be particularly noteworthy in their search.
They hope to gain access to the Bard's library and knowledge.

After visiting the vigil in the yard where she seemed perhaps a bit out of place, leaving nothing in the books and speaking to no one, an elven woman slips into the Academy.
Having had a meeting with the headmaster, she seems to make herself at home, not shy to ask for help to find a number of books, primarily histories and any reports or stories relating lost ruins in both the kings forest and the hullack. Though she seems largely focused on those topics, she also asks for a few tomes related to extraplanar activities in Cormyr, describing a few things she's seen in ruins, and thus taking a study of Slaad as well.
Perpetually in a pleasant mood, she always has a smile on her lips, but she seems rather reserved still, often appearing to be keeping something to herself.
These visits become semi-frequent, three or four times a week in which time she seems to become familiar with the staff - requesting aid from specific individuals more often. Her familiar habits would appear to be humming to herself, soft elven melodies, and minor illusions, little prismatic butterflies or similar fluttering about her hands as she studies in a corner, or about her as she strolls down the halls.

A quiet, gold winged woman in a soft white dress spends time in the Academy, staff from times past easily recognizing Mithika. With a sombre air far unlike her once cheerful self, she spends time in the library, asking for help to find information on topics draconic. She spends several hours reading and copying information into a blank book of her own before she finally slips out quietly as she came.

Alyster gives instructions to the library staff to assist both the gold winged woman with her research, and also notes that the hin, Zero, is to be assisted on whatever she comes to research at Alizarin.

Ess continues her visits to the academy, though usually only during the early afternoons every few days now. Her research notably becomes focused on the kings forest, seeking out all accounts of ruins and findings within that she can find, be they no more than adventure's tales in story, or scholarly accounts.
