Urgent Message for the Adventuring Party:

---

[Seal of Xalvador Caskbow – Waterdeep]

To the Esteemed Adventurers,

I hope this message, borne by the swiftest of my carrier pigeons, finds you in good health and high spirits amidst your journey. I am writing to you from Waterdeep with a matter of some urgency and personal significance.

A delegation from Mirabar has vanished under mysterious circumstances in the Sumber Hills. This group, which includes my own brother among its members, embarked on an overland journey from Westbridge to Beliard, crossing the famed Stone Bridge. Their path took them south from Beliard into the heart of the Sumber Hills, with Summit Hall as their intended destination. However, they have not been heard from since their departure, and fears for their safety grow with each passing day.

Given your current location and the renown of your party for both valor and discretion, I beseech you to keep a vigilant eye out for any signs of this delegation. The circumstances of their disappearance are unknown, and any information you can uncover would be of immense value.

Your involvement in this matter is not only a beacon of hope for anxious families but may also lead to significant gratitude from various quarters, including potential rewards for your efforts.

I trust in your abilities and in the compassion that guides the hearts of heroes such as yourselves. Please, lend your aid in this matter, for both the sake of my brother and the good of all who may be affected by this troubling disappearance.

Yours in earnest anticipation,

Xalvador Caskbow
