Wood Elf Territory Conflict
Description
DescriptionWood elf scouts with vine-covered eyes ambushed the camp, calling Daria a traitor and killing mercenaries before being driven off. An elf hissed 'Traitor' at Daria in Elvish, suggesting a prior relationship or obligation. The group concluded the elves want them out of the territory and fled to Vilya. The open question: what is Daria's connection to these wood elves, why do they consider her a traitor, and will the conflict escalate? Session 2 update: The political fallout of elven involvement in Applegate's death escalates significantly. Aurelia recognizes the extreme political danger if the Inquisition learns an elf was involved, forcing the party to fabricate a cover story about beasts destroying an archaeological camp. A raven is imprinted with the fabricated tale and sent across the city. The Savage Sisters who might have corroborated have fled south entirely. The elven dimension of Applegate's scheme — burning a chained tree of elven significance — is now actively concealed from imperial authorities. Session 6 update: No direct continuation this session — the party traveled away from wood elf territory toward the Rift Mountains and Riverside Stop without encountering further elf activity. The arc remains open but dormant.
