Kiran responds: If only they'd believed me...This is soooo embarassing...Well, it went like this.  The admiral was hosting a party at a festhall near headquarters, and, as is appropriate for Goldennight, there was quite a bit of drinking going on.  Not wanting to look like a lightweight in front of my fellow officers, I tried to keep up with the various much larger folk there, until it got to the point that I felt it wise to start dancing on the table to show them just how coordinated I still was.  Yeah, don't say it, I know, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.  So anyway, next thing I know I'm lying on a couch until someone bothers to take me home, and my mind wanders to the events of the day, and looking at tihngs from a, uh, different perspective I noticed something.  Al-Hulath was known as a scientist, not as a rular.  He had no known significant political or even financial ventures, except his pursuit of new forms of undead and a better undearstanding of how they work.  Thus, it seems odd that he would be behind sometinhg like this.  Then I remembered that shortly after the last that was heard of him, a city was destroyed by a "pus dragon" that spread a plague of evil bugs that exploded form people.  Then I thought, bugs?  Pus dragon?  What if Al-Hulath WAS that pus dragon.  Maybe it was a lab accident, or sabotage. Anyway then I realized that Goran and his allies seemed to fit the description of the plague carriers, and were in a shipo with an espacially long hull...perhaps the kind that could support a dragon.  So then I manage to get up and start telling everyone I can find that there were poeple who were going to explode into evil plague bugs contorlled by an ancient pus dragon necromancer from Mulhorand, but no one believed me!  Well, the giggling and the stumbling and that kind of stuff didnt help, but still!  Anyway, some guy, I think he was a diplomat of some sort, finally believes me and says he'd take me to you guys' place, but I don't remember anything after that.The mesenger you summon returns:  "Oberon sends his thanks.  He hopes that you will one day visit him in his realm as our honored guests.  He also says that you should keep the blade, and that in his gratitude, he will reveal where to find its sister blades: Sarkon, a little-known island in the Sakara Island Chain in the Inner Sea near Mulhorand."  (Kiran had previously stated that Al-Hulath was from one of those islands, and one of Aiden's ships is ready for you to leave to look into that.)</blockquote>
