Elaith Craulnober (got the spelling right this time pg 182 of FRCS) is all about creating chaos for his own profit.  What if when the PC's get to the stables to prepare to flee to Evereska he is there waiting for them.  He tells them that he has discovered that Vanderghast is not Vanderghast at all but is in fact a Lich who has stolen the real Vanderghast's soul.  He doesn't know where Vanderghast's soul is being kept but his network of informants has discovered where the lair of the Lich is located and he will be happy to provide them that information in exchange for a "Favor" at a later time.  This kind of provides a very LOTR setup for your players.  While the war between Evereska and Cormyr is being waged (have Evereska slowly losing as the Lich is unleashing wicked magics to weaken and destroy the Mythal) the party must travel to the Lich's lair to find and destroy his phylactery which will then release the soul of Vanderghast back to his own body and destroy the Lich.  If you've got a copy of Tomb of Horrors you could use it as the Lich's lair.  You did say that the party was pretty high level didn't you?   <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" />Oh yeah, I almost forgot.  Wouldn't it be cool if somewhere far back in history one of the Kings of Cormyr took for his bride an Elven noble of Evereska.   What if there were a Moon Blade that had sat unclaimed for centuries and it turns out that it had been waiting all that time for Azoun V.  There is a little King Arthur flair for you too.By the way... considering that I've made a few contributions here I think I'm going to run this for my group too.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
