Despite Nadaresh's death all is not lost. The druids preserve his body and begin investigating a ritual which might restore him. After a week of research they believe they have uncovered a ritual that may work though the components of the ritual are rare and must be found.

The first necessary component is spiritual essence  an ointment which as luck would have it, is in the possession of a friend of the druids a gnome named Wholian who lives a league south in a small farming community of Gable's Fork. While collecting the salve, the druids wish for the players to collect news from the expected birth of twins. With the good omen of a falling star in the night sky two weeks ago they expect the children have been born and are well and wish to record their names for the upcomming Blessings of Spring festival.
