Founding of Trayalon (Gallund River Empire) - Gallund Wedding

Seamus approaches Solomon about formalizing 'A Place to Drink' tavern betting during a combat tournament in Trayalon. The tournament itself features notable entrants including the orcish barbarian champion Drogul Chickenhammer and Brandon Swiftwater — who lets slip the Swiftwater family knows about the Crown of Sorin and believes it is no longer in the Trayalon vaults. Udin Boulderfall shares deep research: the Crown may contain Sorin's essence, and any possessor risks Sorin attempting to use them to re-ascend. The party then ventures north toward the rangers and the Crown's location. They pass through Millston village (where anti-magic sentiment runs high after a mysterious traveller harassed locals) and encounter the Traveller himself at the inn. The ranger band, led by Harred the Old with Bris as general, is guarding the forest and being compelled toward the Crown by shared visions. The rift dragon Blackskull circles overhead as a second threat. The party fights through or negotiates past the rangers and reaches the Crown of Sorin.
