[Crown of Tears] Lady of the Whip and the Old Man

The Knights of St Edras having accepted Sir Garrick's offer of assistance, accepting subjugation to the king in return for troops, servants, and supplies.

Dame Sabine de Marivault, a knight of the Order of the Whip arrived at the head of a force of outriders, servants, and archers to man and defend the Tower of St Edras.

After a short discussion, the Knights left because the Mists were going to part to open to a place called the "Hanging Glacier" to find another piece of the Crown of Tears. One held by the dragon Galdavantrix.

The world beyond was a plain filled with ice-looking crystals with snow whipping in the air. Lucky for them, Tera obtained enough cold weather gear for all of them to travel to that cold land without issue.

In the distance, they saw only one dark point over the snow haze. They headed that way and encountered a walled village. Wolf, the guard at the gate refused them entry, but showed them the way and reminded them of the presence of slaadi.

As they traveled to the Hanging Glacier, they encountered three red slaadi which led to a massive battle among the crystals.

After that, they found themselves at the base of a 600-foot cliff to reach the monastery where they wanted to meet the old monk master Vantrix. A few sheninanigans and abilities used later, and they were all up there sporting a few bruised.

Vantrix admitted that he could get the shard, but that he would not ask the dragon until the other shards of the crown were brought to him. When asked what the effects of reforging the crown would be, he replied "Not what you expect."

He also gave them the location of the two other shards:
- The Hanging Tower in the Underdark of a place called Faerun
- The Tomb of the Frost Giant Yarl in a place called Rhym

Now in possession of the locations they needed to visit to reassemble the crown, they made their way back to Tarsyn.
