Major Plot Points
- Wildare hires the Homeshard Heroes to accompany him on his new voidship named the Polywog as it travels back home with a secret cargo he calls the “Fruits of Debauchery.”
- The ship is attacked by another ship of Gamma Co make crewed by the Cussquirt gang led by a faceless hag who threatens to stop all trade with Flaygallows until her master Graeae is told the location of the Orphans of Ariyah.
- Once the expedition reaches the city of Flaygallows, it is revealed that the “Fruits of Debauchery” Wildare carried back was a hold full of lemons. This citrus are all seen as shocking and a little scandalous to all his monochromatic countrymen, but many buy secretly because they want to know more.
- The Homeshard Heroes are welcomed as special guests by the stoic Shadar-Kai.
- The Homeshard Heroes spend some time in the most upscale tavern in the Docks district - The Grey Rectangle right during “Satisfactory Hour.”
- In what could be a shady deal, Princess Glorianna reveals that not only did the Orphans of Ariyah actually exist, they lived hidden in exile at a hidden shard known as Darkgate Manor. Unfortunately, the shard and its caretaker Cain were cursed. Glorianna believes that it was Graeae who levied the curse.
- The Homeshard Heroes travel to Darkgate Manor and find it defended by all sorts of Shadar-Kai undead. They battle past them, and find Cain dead in the vaults.
- Evidence including paintings and geneologies show that perhaps Lith is herself one of the Orphans of Ariyah, forced to flee Darkgate Manor as a small child. There is also evidence of two other orphans who fled.
