Quest Leads & Open Hooks
Threads the party has uncovered but not yet pursued — rumors, omens, and unfinished business that could become full quests.
| Lead | What's known |
|---|---|
| Prophecy of the Thorn-Born Star | "Five heads rising from the shadow's root" — a prophecy of Tiamat's return; Maccath the Crimson is researching it. |
| The Goosebear — is the honk the Draakhorn? | A legendary fear-honking chimera of the north; Shade suspects the "honk" may actually be the Draakhorn. |
| Voaraghamanthar's lost hoard | The mine treasure was a Cult offering, not his hoard — his real hoard lies elsewhere, and his twin Waervaerendor may have revived him. |
| Arauthator's Mate (Arveiaturace) | Arauthator's grieving mate still flies with her dead tiefling wizard-rider; she remains at large in the Sea of Moving Ice. |
| The Mattock of the Titan mystery | Its mining magic blazed for one task then went dormant; the Svirfneblin want to know why. |
| The Compact's future debt | The reforged party owes Lady Calera / Zarchelia aid in a coming conflict, on Dispater's warrant. |
| The ice hunters' grudge | Bone Carver and the freed ice-hunter clan turned hostile after learning the party killed their missing brethren — a future blood-enemy. |
| The Eye of Gilbraxis — "at least one of them" | More than one Eye is implied to exist; the one Shade bears was a wizard before death. |
