Below is a list of leads that the party has gleaned on their adventures, with additional information as discovered.
The leader of the Black Talons. Dwells on the second level of the caverns.
The party was invited to meet him after impressing the Black Talons during the coup against Firean.
A Black Talon who briefly accompanied the party gave directions to a staircase down to the second level:
Head east from the room with the strange obelisk, then north-west until you reach a mosaic-filled room. There is a secret door in the western wall. Pass through, then head north. The Black Talons guard the staircase, they will know you.
Rumour: Beware venturing too deep into the Whiterock crypts - the air can drive you to madness and possess you with foul spirits!
Rumour: The unquiet dead within the crypts are bound by Ancient Law to obey commands given to them in the old tongue.
Rumour: There’s a strange market held in the old Minoan catacombs. Beware the food served there, it’s poisonous to surface-dwellers.
Rumour: Strange growths have overtaken the old mausoleum, some of them move about - they make a weird hooting sound. Harmless, though.
Rumour: Part of the caverns are flooded with seawater. The work of the damned sea devils, no doubt.
The party encountered a troop of Mer in the sea cave under Whiterock town. Their leader, Scale-of-Gold, told them that they have a settlement deep in the caverns.
The Mer fear a being they call aboleth. It dwells somewhere in the caverns below. The party have agreed to help them destroy it.
Rumour: A great shaft ascends through the mountain up to the peak. The only way up is through great magic that allows you to make the flight.
A blue dragon was seen flying over Whiterock town and ascending to the misty heights above.
The party encountered a troop of winged apes. In a friendly parley, the apes mentioned that they serve Kadmacho, a mighty sorcerer of old Minos.
Kadmacho's domain lies in the north-west of the first level, beyond the corridor of light.
Kadmacho also has strange, willowy brass servitors with porcelain masks who act as his ambassadors and lead the apes.
Kacmacho hates being disturbed.
Rumour: A troop of Dwarves, around 30, recently passed through and headed to Whiterock. They carried mining and building equipment, and a lot of supplies.
Grayspock has sent a messenger to their hold asking for any information they have on this expedition.
Rumour: There are strange tunnels beneath the Temple of Abagos filled with strange snake statues. It’s like they built the place over something ancient…
A shrine to Rhilea, the Letter and the Word, exists on the first level. A voice in the shrine demanded that any seeking to pass must add knowledge to the archive of the Great Lady.
A friendly, damaged automaton from ancient times has been restored from a low power state in the sea cave. It lacks the means to power itself up fully, requiring additional energy to do so.
