The Great Diaspora
On our way back to Waterdeep, after returning the gold to Lowick, we encountered caravans of refugees packed up and vacating the city. Something odd was clearly going on. We stopped one caravan and learned that apparently a “dragon [had] attacked Waterdeep”. Surely this could not be true, yet the looks of terror on everyone’s faces told me that in if it was not , then something equally horrid had. When we arrived in Waterdeep we learned that the dragons tale was true. Even my father had heard the shouts and clamor. Guild members busily prepared siege engines (apparently without the sanction of the city) and everyone scurried about in haste. Several guild members had died in the dragons assault. Several Legion Arcanum had been hauled off by the dragon as they tried to defend the tower. No one could say why the White Dragon had attacked nor could they say why it only attacked the tower and not the rest of Waterdeep. I am suspicious
The guild needed answers and was recruiting for a party to try to scout the dragon’s hideout and possibly rescue any surviving soldier/wizards. Anyone wizard who volunteered would be granted access to the next level in the library – the forbidden library. We volunteered.
Draznor learned while researching in the library in parts we had access to that the dragons name was probably Cryosangius or Ice Blood in Draconian. The dragon was rumored to have lived near Mt Helimbrar – several days journey by foot away. Long ago it had troubled the area. Later I was to meet him to continue our research but I needed to check in with Ada to assure his safety. This notion of a dragons stalking Waterdeep disconcerts. Father must remain safe.
When I rendezvoused with Draznor he relayed that he had come upon a grayish creature amongst the tomes that had evaded him and escaped with a book – likely a treatise on dragons since that was the section they were in.
