3 Tarsakh 1492, Waterdeep – My name is Shadriel Silverwillow, a humble bard with a grand vision: to witness the exploits of a group of adventurers and record their deeds for the sake of history, for many similar stories are known only through third-hand accounts and rumors, and so rarely told by direct witness. To that end, many tendays ago, I returned to the place of my birth, the legendary shining jewel of the Sword Coast: Waterdeep, the city where many great heroes have found adventure and fame. Once inside the gates, I set my sights on a destination which embodies that daring spirit, the Yawning Portal Tavern.
