Alturiak, ninth day of the second tenday, 1500 DR
Suzail - Cloaked Purple Dragons were seen turning customers away from the main entrance to Dragonhaven, a rooming house to sages, and questioning patrons of the businesses flanking the building (castleside: the shop of Morligul and Mountarn, Map Makers; dockside: The Dump).
A terrifying account shared among onlookers told of a man who screamed in terror as skeletal hands burst out of the pages of a tome to drag him…somewhere else. Reeking sea water gushed from the tome err the man disappeared from the library on Dragonhaven’s second floor, leaving the waterlogged tome behind and the stench of bilge water lurking in the air.
The adventurer Ospra Deadfeather, a member of the Company of the Bottled Fiend and frequent visitor of Dragonhaven, was overheard to inform a watch Dragon that the victim likely fell prey to a lurking curse that has for centuries turned unwary Cormyreans into crewmembers of a ghost ship, the
Bel’s Blade, that plies the waters of the Dragonmere:
“If he is not retrieved from the Blade
within a tenday, his soul will be forever tied to the evil in the heart of that ghastly boat. It will consume him in time, then lure another unfortunate to join its crew.”
