Sword Heralds
-
Jander searches the public libaray and the Fezznick libaray for any books that mention a group called the Sword Heralds.
-
Nothing specific can be found. The name seems to indicate a group of spell casters living around the year 600. They are rumored to be very powerful, rich, ruthless and every other notion that comes to mind when you say "powerful spellcasters" and "ancient history" in one sentence, but nothing is hard evidence, which is not surprising seeing how long ago they lived.
The only sure fact he finds is reference to a wizard named Yimluth, a powerful and wise spell-caster who helped to establish the Sword Heralds. Yimluth it is said fell in love with a beautiful maiden, and the maiden's father was one of Yimluth's rivals and a War Wizard of Cormyr. A tragic story, first performed as a play in Suzail, relates the fall-out of the story. Yimluth was cursed to take the form of a white stag every night and the maiden the form of a large red-hued stone every day and so the lovers could never again meet.
