Gavin's Unknown Notes

Gavin's adopted family is attempting to expand to create a business in Rivers' End.  As such they need to get a letter to Rivers'End.  One of their clothiers are being considered for the source material for an Enchanter.

Gavin's brother Bobby had fallen on hard times and gone to a tavern for something to eat and a possible caravan job.  He met up with a young prostitute Teena.  Someone was trying to steal Teena's money. (A note on prostitutes.  Because of the presence of the love goddess.  Typically true low level prostitutes only see those with  some pretty severe desire to control or witth some kink they refuse to accomidate.  In short they can be rather sad creatures.)  Bobby stepped in to protect her and was knifed in the back by one of the 4 ruffians wh attacked her.  Teena tried to care for him but 2 days later he died from his gut wound.

Gavin has learned that his older brother is "trapped by duty on the ocean".  His brother (John Anderson Jr) has become the leader of a small pirate band living on a small set of islands off the coast of the continent.  The pirates before he came were a motley crew and prone to extreme violence and cruelty to all they met.  They abused their women and their children because of a general feeling of hopelessness.  Most of the persons living on the island have prices on their heads so he cannot simply send them home.  He rules them with an iron hand to prevent the cruelties.  Hes afraid that if he leaves the excesses to all involved will return and cause much discomfort to the world.  This combined with a general distrust everyone feels towards anyone who would leave their world and a soon to be price on his head he is trapped there.  The good news is that he knows a lot about everything and keeps an ear out for news of his family.

Gavins Love (Cindy Whitetree) left to go north.  On the way North they were ambushed and taken by a roving band of Drow.  The Drow summoner captured and killed her family moved her soul into a talisman and hid her body.  He kept the body of the girl for a continued secret hold on her and sold the talisman to a powerful wizard for various favors.  The wizard uses the girl's spirit to gather intelligence on the area.  She can fly about invisibily, make herself invisible (even to magic and spirit site) and can return and communicate to the person holding the talisman.  The wizard holds the talisman as his most prized possesion.  At the requirement of the talismans hold Unknown even to the wizard Cindy is slowly developing some other powers of her own. namely the power to communicate with ones who don't have the talisman.
